When picking a 2025 family-friendly SUV, don’t get distracted by flashy specs; focus on three core factors. First, practical space: Compact SUVs (wheelbase 2650–2750mm) suit most 5-person families, offering easy parking and ample rear legroom. For larger families, midsize SUVs (over 2750mm wheelbase) work, but check parking convenience. Prioritize flat rear floors and trunks (≥500L) with 4/6 split-folding seats for baby gear or luggage. Second, safety: Look for standard AEB, lane-keeping assist, and high crash-test ratings (e.g., NCAP 5 stars). Child seat anchors (ISOFIX) are a must for young families. Third, cost-efficiency: EV/PHEV models save on fuel if you have charging access; hybrids suit those without. Avoid overpaying for unused features—stick to what fits your daily use, whether it’s city commutes or weekend getaways. Click here to know more.
