Best Car for Teens in Racine, Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin

Many of us don’t truly know the meaning of stress or anxiety until we’re responsible for and care about an early driver on the road. During this time, your child has gone from having his or her world extend from the 5-mile radius he or she could walk/bike/bus by themselves to a seemingly endless world that stops only at the Panama Canal to the South and the Bering Strait to the North.

While you likely trust your children to make good decisions, trusting other drivers to not endanger them is a big step and one that doesn’t come easily to anybody.

Here in Southeast Wisconsin, this distress is compounded by a few significant elements. Chief among them is the weather. With snow or ice on the road, it can be easy for adults – who have decades of driving experience – to misjudge stopping distance or cornering speed.

Additionally, the shorter days of winter which we get up here in the greater Milwaukee area, mean more time night driving than a child would need to do during the summer.

This can make selecting a car for your new driver an arduous task.

What is the Best Car for Teen Drivers in Wisconsin?

Making a concise list of features that can help keep your child safe and your mind at ease, we can see a hazy shape slowly turning into a favorable option. Those features for which you’d likely be inclined to prioritize a vehicle for your young driver may include:

All-wheel-drive for traction and control in inclement weather
Active safety features for automated maneuvering and greater awareness in challenging conditions
Touchscreen radio with smartphone connectivity to minimize distractions and keep his or her eyes on the road
Rear-view camera to help prevent slow-speed accidents while backing up
Decent interior space to prevent distracting and hazardous cramped seating with friends

The 2019 Kia Sportage is a perfect vehicle for young drivers. With all these features and more available, you’ll find that the Kia Sportage is a stylish and sophisticated vehicle that has an excellent price point and a focus on driver and passenger safety.

Last year, it was also picked by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as one of the best small SUVs for teen drivers, earning the safety organization’s coveted Top Safety Pick distinction.
