The IIHS list covers a wide range of body styles, and includes manufacturers from the U.S., Europe and Asia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Highway crashes are the single biggest cause of death among those between the ages of 14 and 18 in the U.S. And that\u2019s led the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to issue its first-ever list of the safest used vehicles for young motorists.<\/p>\n

The list puts an emphasis on safe design, as well as advanced technologies such as airbags and electronic stability control. All of the more than 50 models included were produced in the 2005 model-year or later, and estimated prices range from $9,000 to $20,000.<\/p>\n

Keeping You Safe!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While it might be possible to get vehicles for less, it can be \u201cvery difficult to get a safe vehicle\u201d without \u201cpaying a little more,\u201d stressed IIHS Senior Vice President for Research Anne Mccartt.<\/p>\n

GOOD CHOICES:
\nRecommended used vehicles for teens starting under $10,000<\/p>\n
