25 best family SUVs

Volvo XC60

Being the safest car ever tested by Euro NCAP is quite an accolade, and on top of this, the XC60 has plenty of design appeal and a very pleasant interior.It's not the last word in driver appeal, performance or diesel engine refinement, and the car's hesitant automatic gearbox is a particular low point. But as a safe, comfortable, easy-to-use family SUV, it's likely to attract an equally impressive number of buyers as its predecessor, which was the best-selling SUV in Europe in its pomp despite being priced to compete at the more expensive end of the market.
