Each year, U.S. News evaluates 100 vehicles and selects winners across nine categories based on overall rankings, safety and reliability ratings, cargo and seating capacity, and available family-focused amenities. For 2025, the Chrysler Pacifica secured the title of Best Minivan for Families, while the Jeep Wagoneer L was named Best Large SUV for Families.
The Chrysler Pacifica continues to stand out in the minivan segment, earning the Best Minivan for Families award for the second year in a row. The vehicle boasts comprehensive safety features, adaptable Stow ‘n Go seating, and offers optional all-wheel drive. The Pacifica also offers advanced entertainment options, including Amazon Fire TV integration.
Meanwhile, the Jeep Wagoneer L, an extended version of the Wagoneer, impresses with its spacious cabin, advanced technology, and strong safety ratings.
