Now drivers can keep families safe and comfortable with the latest SUVs! Time-tested automakers like Volkswagen, Subaru, and Hyundai have updated their best offerings for the new model year. Each featured SUV provides a range of the latest and greatest safety features, including collision warnings, emergency braking systems, and pedestrian detection. Prioritizing both safety and comfort ensures confidence and enjoyment for every trip, whether near or far. The three best SUVs in comfort and safety include the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Subaru Forester, and the Hyundai Palisade. Read more to learn about a few of the best SUVs for families based on high ratings for safety and comfort.

The Volkswagen Tiguan is a super safe, affordable SUV for families. The Tiguan garnered top ratings for safety in every test thrown at it in 2019, and added a bunch of safety features that come standard with the 2020 model. Whereas before Volkswagen only provided a rearview camera, the Tiguan now comes standard with rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. Clearly an already-safe vehicle got even more serious about protecting passengers. The Tiguan comes in a couple of iterations that have both five and seven seats. Either way, plenty of cargo comes with it and the spacious design also includes anchors for carseats. Volkswagen really prioritized safety and comfort with this SUV, and the 2020 base version runs only $24,950.

Subaru has a few models that would fit the description of safe and comfortable, but the Forester is the best of the bunch. Going back a few years, Subaru decided to really push safety in their marketing. Concurrently, the brand also became obsessed with testing and improving their safety until they had some of the safest vehicles on the road. Many reviewers have said that the brand can't be beaten in terms of safety. Subaru's EyeSight suite of safety features helps the driver be aware of dangers outside and inside the car to make accidents as avoidable as possible. Along with safety, the Forester provides some of the quietest, smoothest rides available. While the cargo hold is one of the biggest for its category, the Forester is only available in two-row seating. That makes five total seats in a peaceful vehicle that continues to grow in popularity among small families.

A new SUV from Hyundai, the Palisade, is the top-ranked SUV in terms of safety as rated by US News. They gave the Palisade a 10/10 for safety, which rated higher than any other vehicle on the list, but that wasn't the only good thing they had to say about it. They also said it provides a sleek ride and has the feel of a luxury vehicle with a great standard interior and great options for upgrades. The new midsize SUV seats up to eight people and has plenty of room and abundant comfort for all passengers. A long list of smart safety technology outshines the features of any other 2020 SUV. A couple of popular SUVs in the same category include the Honda Pilot and the Ford Explorer, but reviewers have consistently said that the Palisade is better than both. Clearly there's a new big player in the game, and potential buyers will be pleasantly surprised when they test one out.
