If you have a new driver in the family, your main concern is their safety. As a new driver, you’re not as experienced with difficult driving situations; whether it be the weather, terrain, or traffic. As a result, you’ll want a vehicle that’s intuitive and a protector to keep your new driver safe from even unexpected hazards. Volkswagen is a perfect brand to choose for new drivers in Peoria because these vehicles have the technology that will anticipate danger before a driver can sense it, and they are built to protect passengers for the long haul. This year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) identified seven Volkswagen models on its 2018 list of recommended used vehicles for teenage drivers.
Great Volkswagen Vehicles For New Drivers in Peoria
At our Peoria Volkswagen dealership, we offer a wide variety of new and used Volkswagen vehicles that fit different driver needs. Many of our selections are great options for new drivers for their standard safety features and dependability. From the list of recommendations from the IIHS, Volkswagen models we carry all come with standard electronic stability control. The IIHS chose several used Volkswagen models for new drivers in the “Best Choices” category, including: the 2013 Passat and newer and the 2015 Jetta and newer. Vehicles on this list earn good ratings in the IIHS moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests and good or acceptable ratings in the driver-side small overlap front test. If rated by NHTSA, they earn 4 or 5 stars overall or 4 or 5 stars in the front and side tests under the old rating scheme.
In the second category for “Good Choices”, the IIHS also selected several used Volkswagen models. These included the 2009-2012 Passat, the 2009-2014 Jetta, 2009 CC and newer, 2009 Tiguan and newer, and the 2012 Routan. These models earned good ratings in the IIHS moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. If rated by NHTSA, they earn 4 or 5 stars overall or 4 or 5 stars in the front and side tests under the old rating scheme.
