The Safest New Vehicles
September 21, 2017
Next to price, safety is the most important attribute consumers look for when buying a vehicle. After all, the main purpose of a car is to transport you and your most precious cargo, and knowing your vehicle has a top safety rating can give you peace of mind.
To help you figure out which vehicles available today are the safest, Forbes compiled a list of vehicles they deem the safest, based on a variety of factors including IIHS crash-test results, and safety technology including auto-braking.
If you're considering purchasing any of these vehicles, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and Edmunds Price Promise to get the best price from local dealers.
