Choosing the right car for a teenager
is an important part of helping them stay safe on the road—and for keeping your
teenager’s car insurance rates
low.
The safest Jeeps for a teenager are the Cherokee and the Renegade. Here’s why:
  • Both offer AWD/4WD which improves traction for teen drivers.
  • Standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Jeep UConnect offer device integration that combats distracted driving.
  • Trailhawk trim packages provide better off-road handling if your teen is used to driving on trails.
  • Entry-level trim models are relatively affordable and cover the basic amenities for new drivers.
  • Standard driver assistance features include forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
