Every Hyundai model recognized by the Best New Cars for Teens awards is equipped with state-of-the-art advanced safety features, including forward collision and lane-departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keep assist. Additionally, select models offer teen driver controls and a smartphone app that allow parents to monitor their children’s driving behavior, ensuring a safer driving experience for young motorists.
To be named one of U.S. News & World Report’s Best New Cars for Teens, a vehicle must possess the best combination of predicted reliability ratings, crash test scores, available advanced driver assistance features and top critics’ recommendations in its segment. To be named a Best Used Car for Teens, a vehicle must be from the 2019 through 2021 model years and deliver the best combination of dependability and safety ratings, low ownership costs, positive reviews from critics when the vehicles were new, and available tech that can prevent or lessen the severity of crashes.
“Hyundai's dominating performance in our Best Cars for Teens awards once again demonstrates that it’s a brand that cares deeply about building great cars and SUVs for everyone in the family,” said John Vincent, senior editor, U.S. News & World Report. “Hyundai’s vehicles are not only at the pinnacle of safety, but they also provide a low cost of driving as they age, so teen drivers can afford to spend time behind the wheel. While safety technology, crash test scores and warranty coverage might not be the sexiest vehicle features, they’re critically important for any vehicle you want your teen to drive. With these seven awards, Hyundai shows that they’re not only building great cars for today, but also for the moment when you hand the keys over to your kids.”
“Leading U.S. News’ Best Cars for Teens awards reinforces Hyundai’s dedication to producing dependable, safe, and innovative vehicles,” said Ricky Lao, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor North America. “Whether shopping for a new or used vehicle, as families consider the best options for their teen drivers, Hyundai remains the top choice, offering peace of mind and exceptional safety.”
In March, Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 and Tucson SUVs were named to U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Cars for Families” list.
