Used Buick Encore Models Named Safe for Teens

Used Buick Encore Named Safe For Teens | Stillwater, OK

If you have a young driver in your family, you want to make sure they are driving something reliable that doesn’t break your budget. Recently, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Consumer Reports named 2016 and newer Buick Encore models safe for teens while still being budget-friendly.

The IIHS and CR come together each year to create a list of safe and affordable pre-owned vehicles for new drivers. The vehicles on this list are divided into “best choice” and “good choice” options in different segments.

The 2016 and newer Buick Encore earned the higher “best choice” ranking. In order to receive this recognition, the Encore had to have “good” ratings in four IIHS crash tests and an “acceptable” or “good” rating in the driver-side small overlap front test. It also needed to perform well in NHTSA tests.

Beyond its reliable design and wealth of safety technologies available, the Encore is an excellent choice for your teen, thanks to its well-appointed interior. Whether your teen is cruising around Stillwater, Oklahoma, or driving to and from college, they’ll appreciate the SUV’s comfortable interior, spacious layout, and advanced connectivity options.

If your teen is ready for the first vehicle, consider purchasing a used Buick Encore. You can learn more about this SUV and your financing options when you call us at Wilson Buick GMC.
