A Buyers Guide to Family-Friendly Vehicles

2/23/2018

Comments

 

Family-friendly vehicles now come in all shapes and sizes. But which vehicles offer the best value, safety, and reliability for families without breaking the bank? Here are 5 standouts from the 2015 model year.

2015 Honda CR-V

No list of family-friendly vehicles is complete without the legendary Honda CR-V. It was one of our top 3 small SUV/crossovers in the 2017 Used Car Awards, in part thanks to its stellar Test Drive Review score of 8.5/10.

The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the CR-V 4 stars for overall safety, with the front driver’s side earning 5 stars. In addition, 2015 CR-Vs have just two recalls, involving replacement engines and connecting rods.

2015 Hyundai Santa Fe


The Hyundai Santa Fe won the 2017 CarGurus Used Car Award for the full-size crossover/SUV category. Why? The announcement said,

The third-generation Hyundai Santa Fe proved to be a true jack of all trades, scoring well with our experts, and no full-size crossover can match the Santa Fe’s expected value retention. Over the course of 12 years, 2013-2016 Santa Fe values are predicted to perform nearly 18% better than the segment average.

This crossover is also ideal for families with a lot of passengers because it offers three rows of seating.

According to NHTSA, the Santa Fe has only one non-engine related recall. And it offers 5-star safety for front and side crashes.

2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The Toyota Highlander is another standout for those who need space, but are also interested in going green; the gasoline Highlander gets an average of 22 mpg, while the Hybrid gets a boost to 28 mpg. It can seat seven, with captain’s chairs available for second-row passengers, and still has cargo room to spare.

The Highlander Hybrid earned 4 stars for overall safety and 5 stars for passenger side safety. NHTSA issued only one recall for the Highlander, regarding its electric power steering.

2015 Chrysler Town and Country

Chrysler didn’t debut the Pacifica until the 2017 model year, but no family-friendly vehicle list would be complete without a minivan. Like the Pacifica that succeeded it, the Town and Country has Chrysler’s infamous Stow ‘n Go seating, offering 143 cubic square feet of cargo space with all seats down; when the seats are in use, this minivan can seat seven comfortably.

NHTSA has issued 3 recalls for the Town and Country, with only one being engine-related. It earned 4 stars for front-crash safety.

2015 Ram 1500

Who says a truck can’t be a family car? According to our 2017 Used Car Awards, 58 percent of CarGurus users favored the Ram 1500 as their truck of choice. While the regular cab can hold only three passengers, the quad cab can hold up to six. The Ram also offers towing capacity of approximately 4,000 pounds (depending on the engine type), which could make it perfect for towing a boat or camper.

NHTSA awarded the Ram 1500 4 stars for front-crash safety. While it is a much-loved ride, there are several recalls, so make sure to bring a Ram to an experienced mechanic before signing the papers.

The used electric cars going UP in value

2/23/2018

Comments

 

Wouldn’t it would be great if you could buy a used car, run it for 12 months and 10,000 miles and then sell it on for a profit? Research by car valuation specialists cap hpi suggests that this can indeed be a reality – but only if you opt for an electric vehicle (EV).

Cap hpi’s study looked at values of a selection of EVs for sale one year ago with 10,000 miles on the clock, and then compared them with the value of similar models listed today at two years old and having covered 20,000 miles. Rather than depreciating as you might expect, some EVs had actually increased in value to the tune of several hundred pounds.

The Numbers
According to Andrew Mee, senior forecasting editor at cap hpi, the Peugeot Ion electric car has appreciated 8.6% over the past 12 months, adding £425 to its value despite the addition of 10,000 miles to its odometer. “The Vauxhall Ampera’s average appreciation is 5.3% or £725 in value, and the most popular EV on the market, the Nissan Leaf, has an average appreciation of 4% or £456 on its original value,” he added.

Mee attributes the rising prices to a number of factors that include the rollout of clean air zones, cheaper running costs, an increase in the number of charging points and a wider range of vehicles from which to choose.

The figures follow data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) that shows sales of used EVs increased by 77% in 2017 compared with the previous year, tipping over 10,000 for the first time. Admittedly this is still small fry in a used car market that totalled 8.1 million vehicles sold, but the signs that interest in electric cars is gathering pace are clear to see.

That is not of course to say that there aren’t still barriers, both real and perceived, to EV ownership. A study of almost 17,000 people carried out by the AA last July, for example, found key stumbling blocks included concerns over the length of time to charge an EV, limited driving range, high purchase price and the unsuitability of some dwellings for home charging points.

According to AA president Edmund King, another point to be drawn from the findings was a generational difference in attitudes towards EVs: “Interestingly the younger the respondent, generally the least likely they were to be concerned about these issues, suggesting that new drivers are more open to EVs than ‘traditional’ drivers.”

Regardless of how long you’ve been behind the wheel, it would appear that at least one of the concerns listed – anxiety over poor resale values – can now start to be ticked off the list.

Top 3 most popular used EVs on CarGurus

Nissan Leaf
Price from: £6500
It’s no surprise that the world’s best-selling electric car is in plentiful supply on the used market too. Launched in the UK in 2011, the Leaf has steadily grown in both capability (including range, which improved from 80 or so miles in a 24kWh model to more than 100 miles in a later 30kWh example) and popularity, and since 2013 has been built in Sunderland. Note with Leafs there is a distinction to be made between ‘battery owned’ cars that include the battery, and those run on Nissan’s Flex battery hire scheme. In the latter case the car will be cheaper to buy, but you’ll need to factor in a monthly battery rental cost of around £70 in addition to the price of the car.

BMW i3
Price from: £15,500
Built from exotic materials and featuring quirky rear-hinged doors for those sitting in the back, the BMW i3 is as distinctive to look at as it is to drive. This is an EV that marries brisk acceleration with an exceptional turning circle and regenerative braking that is strong enough that you can do much of your driving using just one pedal. The realistic range is about 120 miles for a later 94Ah models, or around 80 miles for the earlier 60Ah cars. Alternatively, opt for a range extender i3 and you’ll get a small petrol generator in the back that can be used to charge the battery on the move.

Renault Zoe
Price from: £5000
The Zoe is not only one of the most plentiful EVs on the used market, but also among the cheapest. However, it’s important to understand that part of that is down to the fact it is more often than not sold with a battery that needs to be hired at an additional cost of at least £59 per month.

If you are prepared to pay the extra fees you’ll enjoy a quiet and spacious little car that can cover around 70 to 100 miles from a full charge for an early version, or more than 150 miles if you opt for a later Z.E. 40 model.

First Japan Then South Korea: The Ascent of Foreign Automakers

2/21/2018

Comments

 

Japan took the American car industry by storm when it started making and selling cars in the United States. During the 1960s and ’70s, Japanese carmakers Honda and Toyota developed a reputation for quality, reliability, and efficiency and forced the American Big Three to take note. Today, South Korean Hyundai and Kia are doing the same.

In a 2007 article, AdAge summarized the history and battle between U.S. and Japanese automakers, saying,

They ignored the seriousness of the competition from their Japanese competitors for so long that by the time they woke up to the reality of what was happening, it was way too late.

The Japanese products were better, more reliable and—before their inroads into the luxury market—often cheaper than anything from the traditional Detroit automakers.

The South Korean automakers entered the U.S. market in 1986 and filled a gap that was missing at the time: value-oriented, entry-level cars. Hyundai, along with its sister company Kia, thrived in this part of the market for nearly two decades before turning an eye toward luxury vehicles.

In 2015, Fortune published an article that said,

Last week, Hyundai and Kia’s achievement was made official: Korean cars had eclipsed Japanese autos in quality. J.D. Power rated the mass-market auto brands tops for initial quality, with Kia just behind No. 1 Porsche and Hyundai, No. 4 behind Jaguar. Porsche and Jaguar are niche luxury brands.

For the sister automakers, the endorsement was sweet recognition, but it hardly shocked a global industry of competitors and analysts that had been tracking their steady improvement for a decade.

Honda and Toyota conquered the U.S. market by offering a level of quality and efficiency. Hyundai and Kia took a path to the top that focused on economy while slowly building a reputation for quality. Japan and South Korea both overcame humble automotive beginnings to become top-tier automakers. Which leaves us wondering:

Which country will give rise to the world’s next big automaker?
