U.S. News World Report ranks vehicles based on reliability ratings, crash test scores, available advanced driver assistance features, and top critics recommendations in the U.S. News Best Cars rankings in its price point. The vehicles named as one of the Best New Cars for Teens have the best combination of all of those features.
“At Hyundai we pride ourselves on providing our customers with ‘better’ and the Elantra does just that with advanced safety technologies as well as Blue Link, which features technologies that allow parents to monitor their new drivers,” says Scott Margason, director, Hyundai Motor America. “We are happy to have secured a spot on this list by the reputable U.S. News World Report by delivering the best combination of reliability, crash protection, and accident avoidance features.”
The award-winning Hyundai Elantra now has six different trims to fit every shopper’s personality and pocketbook. The Elantra has a slew of advanced safety technologies that encourage good driving habits such as Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist and Smart Cruise Control, and seven standard airbags including driver’s knee airbag. Hyundai is going above and beyond by offering three years of updated standard Blue Link services for available 2018 Hyundai vehicles. Blue Link Connected Care is a suite of safety and car care features providing Hyundai owners with services such as Automatic Collision Notification, SOS Emergency Assistance, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Monthly Vehicle Health Reports, and Maintenance Alerts.
