Teen drivers are taking to the road, and a major consideration for parents is the choice of vehicle. A key factor to consider is the ability of the teen to handle the car safely. Certain types of vehicles are deemed more suitable for inexperienced drivers, such as smaller sedans and certain SUVs.

These vehicles are often easier for new drivers to manage. Automatic transmissions may also be beneficial for teens still learning basic driving skills.

Further guidance on selecting a safe vehicle for teen drivers is available, including the importance of evaluating crash-test ratings and visibility.
