5 Extended-Family Friendly Cars You Should Check Out

The next two cars in this list are the perennial favourites of every family-oriented driver, and score points for being big on space and fuel efficiency, without being big on price.

One of the favourite family cars amongst local car buyers, the Odyssey scores popularity points for being able to carry the extended family around with comfort that rivals more expensive cars, with a roomy interior doesn't leave you feeling squeezed for space. Newer models of Odyssey now come with dual sliding doors that make getting in and out of the car a breeze.

The premium model, EXV, has a notably spacious cabin with extra headroom and legroom, thanks to Ottoman Cradle seats in the second row. When not in use, the rear seats are able to fold down creating more boot space for juniors' bicycles and granny's wheelchair.

Another everygreen favorite among Singaporean families is the Toyota Wish. Previously sold by parallel importers, its rise in sales means Borneo Motors now wants a share of the market; it has begun selling the Wish as well.

Why is it so popular? The answer boils down to fuel efficiency and safety. According to Borneo Motors, the Wish’s fuel consumption is 6.8 litres per 100km, whilst 6 SRS airbags, including curtain airbags, make this one of the safest cars on the road.

Finally, whether you are tending to the needs of your family’s pioneer generation, or shuttling your kids and their friends around, or both at the same time, these are vehicles that will keep your entire family safe, scoring safety ratings of 5 stars on crash tests. Plus, they come with Japanese engine reliability that you can, well, truly rely on, so there's fewer breakdowns by the side of the road.
