The experts at Kelley Blue Book have published their rankings of the best family cars in 2015. Starting with last year's finalists, they culled through those that were either due for imminent replacement or that have been clearly surpassed by newer vehicles in the segment. Then they added new vehicles that have debuted since last year, including a couple of redesigned models, and voted on candidates.
"This approach included analyzing three minivans, four compact SUVs, four midsize SUVs, two full-size SUVs, two full-size sedans, and three mid-size sedans. However, this year also included vehicles from other categories," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for KBB.com. "First were two full-size pickup trucks, unconventional choices to be sure, but roomy, comfortable, and with seemingly endless cargo space. On the other end of the spectrum were three compact cars, often the first choice for anyone on a budget."
