Kia a Top Choice in Safety for Teens

From rebelliousness to maintaining good grades, there are many things parents worry about during their children’s teenage years, most importantly their safety.  This is especially true once teens begin to drive.  To help parents find safe and reliable car options, as well as navigate the often confusing safety information available, Kelley Blue Book as compiled a list of “10 Safe New Cars for Teens.”

Earning a perfect 10.0 for safety by KBB Expert Ratings, the Kia Optima offers a comprehensive Vehicle Stability Management package, six airbags, Brake Assist, and several additional safety systems.  Fog lights, heated side mirrors, and an optional rear-camera display also help to ensure the Optima is ready for any driving conditions.  Plus, both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have awarded the Optima the highest possible safety ratings, with the IIHS naming the Optima a Top Safety Pick. 

Also named an IIHS Top Safety Pick, the Kia Soul is not only a great option for teens safety-wise, but looks cool as well.  High-tech features abound inside and out, including hands-free BLUETOOTH®, allowing chatty teens to keep their hands on the wheel, and an available UVO infotainment system, which also provides hands-free connectivity and a rear view camera.
