Drive Safe this Holiday Season with One of These Incredibly Safe Vehicles

Driving over the holidays can be pretty stressful. Since there is usually so much traffic on the road, you could end up sitting in a traffic jam instead of spending time with your family. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics show that the holiday period is particularly dangerous around the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

So how can you stay safe driving for the holidays? You can start by having the safest vehicle possible! Consider getting one of these top safe vehicles before you travel this holiday season: 

Drive Away in the Reliable Honda Civic

The new Honda Civic comes in three models – the Civic Coupe, Civic Hatchback and the Civic Sedan – all of which come with a range of safety features, including VSA electronic stability control (ESC), antilock braking system, traction control and a low tire pressure warning system that helps you make sure you’re as steady as possible on cold winter roads. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2016 Honda Civic a Top Safety Pick+, the highest safety recognition possible.

Get Both Safety and Luxury with the Lexus RX 350

The 2017 Lexus RX 350 is a front-wheel-drive, 3.6-liter, luxury SUV with automatic eight-speed transmission. Weighing in at 4,222 lbs., the RX is a hefty car and keeps its wheels planted firmly on the ground. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has consistently named the Lexus RX a Top Safety Pick and the car was named the 2016 Top Safety Pick+. The Lexus also comes standard with a first aid kit and a backup camera to ensure maximum safety at all times.

Travel Far with the Family-Friendly Chrysler Pacifica

If you’re looking for a safe car, you can’t get much better than the Chrysler Pacifica. The 2017 Pacifica was awarded Top Safety Pick+ status from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To achieve this rating, cars must undergo five crashworthiness tests: and score at least a ‘good’ rating in all five. It also come with some rather impressive crash-avoidance systems in place on the car to make sure you reach your destination without a hitch.

Give the Gift of the Protective Hyundai Sonata

In the NHTSA’s crash safety test, the Hyundai Sonata achieved an overall safety rating of five stars – the highest star rating given to vehicles in this test. With side impact beams and a multitude of air bags – including driver knee and curtain first and second row – it’s plain to see why the Sonata is such a safe vehicle.

Get a Safe Crossover with the Fiat 500X

The 500X is not your standard Fiat. Fiats are known for their small, lightweight hatchbacks such as the Punto and the 500, but just by looking at it, you can tell that the 500X is different; this small SUV comes with a wealth of safety features designed to make this car as safe as possible. With features like electronic stability control, roll stability control, antilock braking and traction control, the Fiat 500X is sure to keep your family safe this winter.
