Safety First

New drivers should have safety at the forefront of their minds when picking out their first car. Luckily, you’re there to do that for them. Most Kia models have access to the company’s latest and greatest driver-assist technologies that help your teen stay aware of what’s happening on the road around them. For instance, the funky and fun 2020 Kia Soul can be equipped with features such as the forward collision-avoidance assist system, lane-keeping system, and blind-spot monitor. Technologies such as these don’t take responsibility away from the driver; they simply make better, more aware drivers out of everyone.

Hands-Free Technology

Distraction is one of the most common causes of teen car accidents. To reduce distractions, your teen’s phone can be connected to most Kia models’ standard touch screens via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The 2020 Rio Hatchback has these programs standard with every trim level. Kia’s smart screen let your teen access many of their favorite phone apps and features using only voice commands, so they can keep their eyes focused on the road ahead. They can have their text messages read aloud to them, play their favorite albums, and look up directions to their destination without ever having to pick up their device.

Lifestyle-Ready

Your teen driver needs a vehicle that’s equipped to handle their lifestyle, from driving to and from school to making a trip to their friend’s house. Luckily, Kia’s lineup is full of different types of vehicles to meet those needs. If your teen simply needs a reliable commuter to get to and from their destinations, check of the 2020 Kia Forte or Rio sedan. If they need more space for sporting gear, consider one of Kia’s SUVs or crossovers, such as the Seltos, Soul, or Sportage.
