3 Top-Rated Safety Vehicles for New Drivers
Most drivers remember the nerve-racking and exhilarating experience of learning to drive and taking a vehicle out for the first time. New drivers love to experience the convenience, independence, and freedom that the ability to legally drive a vehicle brings. Driving isn’t all fun, however. Hundreds of automobile accidents happen on the highways and streets of Florida every day. For drivers who are inexperienced, safety is an important factor to consider when buying or leasing a vehicle, as new drivers are much more prone to automobile accidents. If you’re considering buying a new car for your son or daughter, or would just like some extra protection on the road, consider taking the following automobiles out for a test drive:
2018 Hyundai Ioniq
The 2018 Hyundai Ioniq is a hybrid vehicle that is great for new drivers that are starting off on a budget, but do not want to compromise safety. Its standard safety options include features such as:
- Hyundai’s Blue Link System (which notifies parents)
- Blind spot monitoring
- Rear cross traffic alert
- Lane departure and lane keep assist
- Automatic braking
- Pedestrian detection
The Ioniq’s Blue Link System makes it an especially great vehicle for teens. Blue link helps to inform parents when their child is out past curfew, driving more than the speed limit, or surpassing geographic boundaries. In addition to its safety features, the Ioniq has great fuel economy ratings of 57 miles per gallon in the city and 59 miles per gallon on the highway.
2018 Toyota Camry
After going back to the drawing board and emerging with new safety features and designs, the 2018 Toyota Camry has become one of the safest vehicles on the market. The standard sedan comes with forward collision monitoring, auto emergency brakes, lane departure warnings, and lane keep assist. If you select the XLE upgrade, the Camry also comes with:
- Blind spot monitoring
- Rear cross traffic alerts
- Rear automatic emergency braking
- 360 degree rear camera
2018 Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage currently ranks in the top five list of safe compact SUVs. This vehicle’s safety rating is due in part to its many technology features which are available in the EX Trim upgrade with the technology package. Some of its features include:
- Forward collision warning
- Blind spot detectors
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane departure warnings
- Rear cross traffic alerts
The vehicle has earned a five star crash test rating from the NHTSA, and was awarded the 2018 Top Safety Pick designation from the IIHS. J.D Power has given the Kia Sportage a 4.5 rating out of 5, a very high rating for the compact SUV class.
