Parents shopping for a safe and reliable 2020 model for their teen driver can consult a new list of recommended vehicles compiled by Consumer Reports (CR) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The recommended 2020 vehicles range in price from $22,000 to $37,000. All of them are winners of the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, meaning they have good ratings in all six of the Institute’s crashworthiness tests, advanced or superior ratings for front crash prevention, and acceptable- or good-rated headlights.
“It can be tempting to buy a tiny, bare-bones model for a teenager,” says IIHS President David Harkey. “But we know that teenagers are among the riskiest drivers, so it’s important not to skimp on safety.
