New for 2017 is the Family Vehicle Best Buy. Vehicles considered for this award must offer comfortable cabin accommodations, ample cargo space, respectable fuel efficiency, and strong value for the dollar. For 2017, Consumer Guide has awarded the Chrysler Pacifica its Family Vehicle Best Buy.

“We’re always pleasantly surprised when a new car or truck impresses us enough to enter the Best Buy discussion. This year the all-new Chrysler Pacifica minivan impressed us most, redefining how best to meet the needs of active families,” said Publisher Tom Appel, who led the editors’ selection process for this year’s list.

Also for 2017, Hyundai’s newly launched Genesis brand sees its G90 sedan earn Best Buy recognition in the Premium Large Car category.

The complete list of Consumer Guide Automotive’s 2017 Best Buy Awards can be seen below. And watch for Consumer Guide® Automotive 2017 Car & Truck Best Buys magazine on newsstands nationwide December 1, 2016.

Since 1967, Consumer Guide Automotive’s award-winning editorial team has used a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation process to identify the vehicles worthy of serious consideration by consumers. The editors utilize objective criteria, such as price, features, performance, accommodations, fuel economy, reliability records, and resale value, to assess each vehicle.

The key to Consumer Guide Automotive’s annual Best Buy Awards is the careful evaluation of every aspect of each vehicle as it relates to consumers’ real-world driving experience. It is this thoroughness that brings consumers to check Consumer Guide Automotive reviews before buying a new vehicle.

Consumer Guide’s editorial team drives more than 100,000 miles every year evaluating what these vehicles do well–and what they don’t. Whether it is driving through the city, on highways, in rural areas, on long trips, or simply picking up the kids at school, these vehicles are tested in the same way that typical car buyers would use their vehicles.
