Home Family Cars 10 Best Used Family Sedans Under $20,000

Family Cars

ByBen Stewart11/17/2020 1:01pm

SUVs may be the stylish mode of transport for family use today, but sporty and comfortable sedans can offer a great alternative. Large sedans are roomy, ride very smoothly, and deliver better fuel economy than SUVs. And they all have unique personalities, so there’s a family sedan that works for every need from the twisty road fan to those that prioritize comfort and reliability. Here is our list of the 10 Best Used Family Sedans Under $20,000.

1. 2017 Toyota Camry

The Camry has been over-achieving for decades. It’s so good at everything it does, many owners are repeat buyers. Aside from its exceptional reliability, the Camry has one of the roomiest back seats of any midsize family sedan. The hybrid model returns nearly Prius-like fuel economy in the city—making a good sedan even better.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

2. 2017 Honda Accord

Few cars hit the sedan sweet spot with as much accuracy as the Accord. It has the space inside for a large family to get comfy, it’s exceedingly rewarding to drive (and one of the few to offer a manual transmission), plus tops the reliability charts. All Accords are fuel-efficient, but the hybrid nearly hits 50 mpg. Impressive.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

3. 2019 Subaru Legacy

A true standout sedan in terms of its safety rating and reliability, the Legacy is a solid choice for any family. And because it’s a Subaru, this dependable machine comes standard with all-wheel drive making it a great snow car too.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

4. 2016 Toyota Avalon

If you want something that’s roomier than a midsize sedan with a Lexus-like interior, consider the Toyota Avalon. Not only does it give you and your family plenty of space to stretch out, but the trunk is huge. For fuel economy of up to 40 MPG, look for a Hybrid model.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

5. 2018 Chevrolet Impala

When only the largest family car will due, the Impala is tough to beat. This smooth-riding car loves to effortlessly gobble highway miles. The standard V6 is both potent and torque-rich. It’s an easy car to like. And because the Impala sits at the top of Chevy’s sedan line, it’s packed with features and equipment.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

6. 2017 Nissan Maxima

The Maxima is several cars rolled into one. It’s nearly a luxury sedan, brimming with tech and supple and upscale appointments. It’s also a sport sedan that can hit 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and handle curves like a more expensive sedan. But most importantly for a family, this is a big car with plenty of space for everyone and their stuff.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

7. 2019 Hyundai Sonata

The Hyundai Sonata is a solid competitor to the Camry and Accord. This model year benefitted from a significant refresh. Shop SEL trim or higher. That’s where the best safety equipment becomes optional. Turbo models are the most fun, but even the standard 2.4-liter and six-speed automatic move the Sonata smartly.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

8. 2018 Mazda6

If your family secretly wants a sports sedan, the Mazda6 might be the right choice. The Mazda6 is a lovely car to push hard on a canyon road with precise steering and excellent body control. It doesn’t come up short for hauling people either, and its reliability has proven strong. As an added bonus, the interior edges towards that of a luxury car. See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

9. 2018 Kia Optima

The Kia Optima is a great family sedan for contrarians. Its styling is fresh and that helps the Kia stands apart in this class. Plus, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Optima its Top Safety Pick Plus rating — the highest it awards. Kia is known for value, so expect to find plenty of luxury-level equipment for not a lot of money.See Autotrader listings right here on KBB.com

10. 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid

The Ford Fusion is a striking and smooth-driving family sedan for those that prioritize comfort. The 2.0-liter turbo model is reasonably quick. However, the hybrid model is the one for those looking to stretch their fuel dollars. The hybrid is rated to travel 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.
