The Safest Vehicles for 2018
January 4, 2018
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 cars available today are the safest, The Car Connection created a list of the safest cars for 2018, based on a variety of factors including crash-test results, and available safety technology.
If you're considering purchasing any of these vehicles, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle, CarsDirect and NADAGuides to get the best price from local dealers.
Safest Vehicles for 2018

|---|---|
| 2018 Genesis G80 | high level of standard safety equipment including automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. |
