The Best Family Cars For Cool Stepdads

When you first become a step-dad, there’s often that awkward period of adjustment. You want to be a good parent, but it’s also important your stepkids like and respect you.


You want to establish yourself as the “cool step-dad” before you go any further.

And if you’re further along in your stepdadding journey, you’ve already achieved cool status. Congratulations on your accomplishment.

But don’t rest on your laurels. Even the coolest step-dads will be knocked down a peg or five when they pull up to soccer practice in a dusty old station wagon.

It’s time to up your car game to earn your kids’ respect. And if you want their mom’s respect, that cool car had better include lots of interior space and a myriad of safety features.

The following are a few ideas for cool step-dad cars.

Chevy Equinox

When you want space, it’s tempting to think typical minivan. But if that’s where your car buying journey takes you, you may as well grab a pair of mom jeans on the way.

Instead, consider the masculine Chevy Equinox. This SUV seats up to five with loads of legroom.

It has some impressive interior packages that the stepkids will love. The top-of-the-line package includes 6 USB jacks, air-cooled front seats and seat heaters for your back and rear that you can control separately.

Audi Allroad

The Audi A4 Allroad isn’t your typical station wagon. This modern vehicle boasts a high-quality interior with lots of upscale features you simply won’t find in cheaper models.

If you’re a step-dad who feels the need for speed, this is the perfect family car for you. With a turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive, you can safely enjoy the road anywhere. 

Ford Flex

If you’re the kind of stepdad that dances to the beat of his own drum, you may want a family car that’s a little more unique to you. You won’t see many Ford Flexes in the carpool lane at school, but maybe you’ll start a cool-dad revolution.

The Ford Flex is a masculine-looking SUV with styling similar to the Land Rover brand. However with 3rd-row seating, a V6 engine and extra safety features, this crossover is worth a second glance.

Infiniti Q50

If SUVs and crossovers don’t get your heart pumping, you may like the luxury Infiniti Q50 sedan. Yes, it is a family sedan, but you won’t feel that when you’re behind the wheel of this 328-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine.

And if all that power isn’t enough to draw you in, consider the well-designed cabin and modern technology package. If the Infiniti Q50 is out of your price range, consider buying a pre-owned vehicle.

You can save quite a bit by opting for a model that’s been out for a year or two. Even if your step-kids don’t consider you a cool dad, we know you are.

You deserve a vehicle that’s at least half as cool as you are, so don’t settle for a hand-me-down minivan.
