The U.S. News & World Report has listed the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe as one of the “Best New Cars for Teens” that cost between $30,000 to $35,000.
The publication ranks vehicles based on reliability ratings, crash test scores, available advanced driver assistance features, and top critics recommendations in the U.S. News Best Cars rankings in its price point.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) as standard. When reversing, the Blind Spot Detection system may warn the driver if vehicles approach from the rear side and may also apply the brakes automatically.
In addition, the Santa Fe features Hyundai’s first standard Safe Exit Assist system that uses radar to help detect cars approaching from the rear and cautions passengers looking to exit the vehicle. This model was named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
