DETROIT, Jan. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, the
premier online resource for buying and selling new and used cars,
announced tonight at its annual "Best of" award show that the 2014
Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is the winner of the site's Family Car of
the Year award.
"The redesigned Santa Fe Sport's interior flexibility and
available convenience and safety features, such as side window
shades and blind spot monitors, make it a natural choice for
families," said Kristin Varela,
Cars.com's Chief Mom. "A few of our experts even called the Santa
Fe Sport 'fun to drive,' which is a rarity for a family car where
driving fun isn't often a priority for auto makers."
Nominees for the 2014 Family Car of the Year were the Buick
Enclave, Honda Odyssey and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport.
"Families come in all shapes and sizes and so do our favorite
family cars of 2014," said Varela. "Each nominee offers unique
features and qualities that are perfect for any family, and while
the Santa Fe Sport is our top pick, each nominee would make a great
option for families in the market for a new car."
For larger families, Hyundai also offers the Santa Fe which adds
an additional row of seating and was a nominee for Cars.com's "Best
of 2014" award.
