Ford Puma
The Ford Puma is a small crossover-SUV that is perfect for families.
First and foremost, it’s fun to drive, offering sharp handling and impressive agility.
In terms of practicality, there’s plenty of room inside despite its compact exterior. In the back, the Puma offers more room than Fiesta and Focus models, and children of all ages will feel comfortable in this space.
It also comes with a big boot (456 litres), but the best part is an additional 80-litre storage compartment under the boot floor, called the MegaBox. This is ideal for carrying dirty boots or clothing if you’ve been in the great outdoors.
The Ford Puma received five stars in Euro NCAP safety tests, thanks to a suite of clever assistance technologies designed to help keep the driver, passengers and other road users protected at all times.
Nissan Qashqai
The multi-award-winning Nissan Qashqai needs little introduction. It’s been one of the best-selling cars on UK roads in the last decade and basically popularised the family SUV segment. Refreshed in 2021, it has a sharper exterior style, an improved interior and an upgraded infotainment system.
There’s plenty of space in the front and in the back for passengers, and the doors open wide which helps accessibility into and out of the vehicle. The boot is fairly large with up to 504-litres of cargo space – a further 74 litres on the previous generation.
Plus, the Nissan Qashqai has been awarded five stars in Euro NCAP safety tests and took the top spot in the Safety category at the 2022 What Car Awards. So, you can have extra peace of mind whilst travelling that this car has taken safety seriously.

Kia e-Niro
The Kia e-Niro is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a dependable family car, and it comes with the added benefit of zero tailpipe emissions.
The all-electric SUV is stylish, well-equipped and has an impressive range of up to 282 miles (WLTP) which should be more than enough for the average family journey.
The spacious boot, with a capacity of 451 litres, is actually larger in the electric model than Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid variants, due to the clever positioning of the battery.
It’s easy and quiet to drive, thanks to its electric powertrain. With no gears and clutch, it provides a smooth ride with instant acceleration.
The Kia e-Niro also scored the full five stars in Euro NCAP safety tests and comes with a number of advanced driver assistance systems as standard.
