We’ll be back next week with more top auto stories curated for our readers. Top Headlines From February 17-23 posted first on http://www.cargurus.com/blog/ via Blogger Top Headlines From February 17-23 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

A Buyer’s Guide to Family-Friendly Vehicles posted first on http://www.cargurus.com/blog/ via Blogger A Buyer’s Guide to Family-Friendly Vehicles
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 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.

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.

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,
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,
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? -tgriffith Find Certified Pre-Owned Cars and Used Cars in your area at CarGurus. Shopping for a new vehicle?
