Subaru has made waves with the all-new Legacy, Forester and Outback going on sale within less than a year – hot on the heels of the introduction of the Ascent 3-row midsize SUV.

The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is the smallest crossover in the Subaru lineup, but it is plenty capable. It’s an SUV for all seasons, with terrific ground clearance and standard all-wheel drive. Its subcompact footprint makes it easy to maneuver around town. And there’s even a plug-in hybrid version available. It is one of our 10 Best Family Cars Under $25,000 and earned a Best Resale Value Award. See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

The all-new 2020 Toyota Highlander is more spacious, more fuel-efficient, and comes with more standard safety features. That’s why we named it one of our 12 Best Family Cars. The Highlander is backed by Toyota’s well-known reputation for reliability and resale value – which is why it also earned a Best Resale Value Award. See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

When it was unveiled, the all-new mid-engine 2020 Chevrolet Corvette nearly broke the internet.

Hyundai totally redefined its Santa Fe just last year, upsizing it to make it more spacious and more family-friendly than ever before.

It’s no secret that Kelley Blue Book has been impressed with the Honda Odyssey. That continues in 2020, as it was a returning member of our Best Family Cars list for 2020. Honda’s minivan has a smartly designed interior with clever, thoughtful features for the family. It continues to be the best vehicle in the segment. High praise for the Odyssey continued throughout the year, as it was also our Minivan Best Buy and earned high scores for resale value. See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

The 2020 Jeep Wrangler is an American classic that is as popular as ever. The Wrangler is more capable, more refined, and more fuel-efficient than its predecessors yet didn’t lose any aspect of what makes this vehicle an icon. The Wrangler received accolades in both 2- and 4-door form. Its soft top and trail-ready nature make its inclusion as one of our 10 Most Fun SUVs a no-brainer. The Wrangler is also practical, earning Best Resale Value Awards and 5-Year Cost to Own Awards. See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com
