Every parent knows it’s coming: a teen driver who needs their own car. Yes, there are costs involved, but more importantly, new drivers need a vehicle that will help mitigate any “oopsies” they make on the road. U.S. News and World Report recently named Toyota to their current list of the Best Cars for Teens. Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is proud to be part of this exceptional brand and shares the report’s findings.

To make the list, vehicles needed to offer active safety features – including strong crash test ratings — to help teens as they develop their driving skills. Features like collision warning, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking were also key in helping teen drivers stay safe on the road.

In the “New Car” category, the 2021 Toyota Camry made the list as a top car in the $35-45K price range. However, it’s in the “Used Car” category where Toyota really shines. Out of five segments, Toyota is tops in four of them.

In the “Large Car” column, the 2017 Toyota Avalon ranks number one. For a “Midsize SUV,” the 2017 Highlander gets the nod, while the 2018 Corolla is the favorite in the “Small Car” category. Finally, the 2017 Toyota RAV4 is tops on the “Small SUV” list.

When it comes to making the “Used Car” list, vehicles (2016-2018 years) need to show a strong combination of dependability, safety ratings and ownership costs. Vehicles need to also feature the kind of tech that will help keep teen drivers safer.
