CHERRY HILL, N.J., Feb. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ Subaru of America, Inc. announced today that the 2016 Outback made Kelley Blue Book's 16 Best Family Cars of 2016 for meeting the needs of the modern family with emphasis on outstanding room for both passengers and cargo and excellent off-road capability. 
  
Kelley Blue Book, the leading provider of new and used vehicle information, extensively tested and evaluated 24 different vehicles for a two-week period focusing on safety, comfort, convenience, spaciousness for both passengers and cargo, and fit of various child safety car seats.  

"For two weeks we drove, lived-with, folded down-seats-of, paired phones-to and installed-baby-seats-in each and every one of the contenders," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst of Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com. "We loaded cargo, contorted ourselves into third rows, watched movies on rear-seat screens, toted rowing teams to marinas – in short, we did everything that you and your family might do with a vehicle day-to-day."
