2026 Hyundai Palisade
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade combines space for the biggest families with style and technology parents love. This model was given the title of the Best Mid Size 3-Row SUV, with PARENTS highlighting the three sets of LATCH attachments and reclining seats for a mid-road trip break. This SUV is so family-friendly, it actually won in two categories: the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid was also declared the Best Hybrid SUV for families.
2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5
The tech-filled cabin and all-day range of the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 nabbed it the position as the Best Electric 5-Passenger Vehicle. PARENTS judges especially enjoyed the advanced infotainment system, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for your kids’ favorite media and hands-free commands so you can focus on the road. The range was emphasized as perfect for families, too: with up to 318 miles* of capacity, you can drive all day without a stop.
2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9
The spacious interior of the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 combines the advantages of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade and the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5, so it’s no wonder this model won the Best 3-Row EV category. Everyone can ride in this cabin, with seats for up to seven, and PARENTS emphasized the relaxed ride as perfect for long-distance family road trips. And like the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5, this EV is DC Fast Charger compatible, so you can always add miles conveniently on the road.
