Back to School: 4 Great Cars for Teens

Summer is over, and school is back in session! The days of early-morning drop offs and long afternoon pickup lines are back. The stress of the first few weeks probably has you wondering — wouldn’t this all be easier if my kid could drive? Perhaps you have a child who is about to turn 16. Maybe your child already is 16 but just hasn’t received their first vehicle. Regardless, it might be time for you to begin thinking about purchasing your teenager a vehicle.

Just in time for the back to school rush, US News & World Report has named four 2021 Hyundai models on its “Best Cars & SUVs for Teens.” This list takes into account advanced safety features, crash test scores and parent supervision ability alongside general critical reviews. The four Hyundai vehicles selected were the 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, the 2021 Hyundai Kona, the 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. Each of these vehicles offers top-of-the-line safety features as well as a comfortable and efficient driving experience. This blog will break down each of these four vehicles and inform readers what makes them great options for teen drivers.

2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid
The 2021 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid combines a sleek design, a hyper-efficient fuel economy and a host of high-tech safety features. The 2021 Elantra Hybrid has a sporty exterior with a wide stance and a low roofline. Its hybrid nature provides drivers with more than 50 miles per gallon combined fuel economy, helping teen drivers to save their spending money. The sedan provides the full Hyundai SmartSense range of safety features, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and blind spot monitoring. It also provides safe, high-tech infotainment features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which will keep the cell phone out of the hands of teen drivers.

2021 Hyundai Kona
The 2021 Hyundai Kona is a compact SUV which has plenty of versatile features to offer teen drivers. The 2021 Kona offers the interior cargo space of an SUV, yet its compact size will be manageable for more inexperienced drivers. The Kona offers available All-Wheel Drive, providing great traction in unpredictable road conditions. The SUV, much like the 2021 Elantra, offers Hyundai SmartSense safety features and the high-tech interior technology which makes teen driving more secure. The Kona’s spacious interior, versatile powertrain and manageable size make it an intriguing option for teen drivers.

2021 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid
The 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient hybrid in the United States. Its super-efficient mechanics provide it with a combined fuel economy of 59 miles per gallon, beating even the Prius. The Ioniq is a compact sedan, meaning it is highly-manageable for a teen driver. Still, the Ioniq boasts cool design touches both inside and out to provide drivers with an attractive ride. The interior of the Ioniq is loaded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to provide hands-free connectivity and the vehicle features the full host of Hyundai SmartSense safety features. If you’re looking for an efficient car for your teen driver, the 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is the vehicle for you.

2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is the largest, most powerful and most luxurious option selected by US News & World Report. The Santa Fe will provide teen drivers with a spacious interior and a versatile powertrain alongside a host of technology and safety features. The Santa Fe boasts a redesigned interior and exterior, providing a modern, stylish look and feel. The SUV boasts All-Wheel Drive on its hybrid model, something which is rather unusual, providing incredible traction on slick roads. The Santa Fe also features a powerful yet efficient engine, providing a 36 mile-per-gallon fuel economy in the city. Check out the 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid if you’re looking for a larger, powerful yet safe option for your teen driver.
