Make Your Teen’s First Car a Jeep Wrangler
For many teens, their first car is a rite of passage they’ll remember for the rest of their life. It sets them on their path to adulthood and helps forge new relationships with friends as they take to the streets together. Of course, the feeling of freedom and a fresh start can also be associated with that “new car” smell.
Teenagers are at an incredibly high risk of accidents during their first year of driving. That’s why giving them a life-saving tool like a Jeep Wrangler is essential. The Jeep Wrangler has plenty of great features to offer a young driver.
Safety Features You Can Count On
The Wrangler has a variety of features to keep drivers safe. For example, it comes with electronic stability control (ESC) and anti-lock brakes (ABS), which help prevent rollovers and skids. It also includes traction control, which allows drivers to maintain control when driving on slippery surfaces like snow and ice.
The Wrangler has an anti-theft system that requires you to use your key fob or keyless remote before starting the car or putting it into drive mode. This helps prevent theft, since thieves can’t just jump into your Jeep and drive away when they find it parked somewhere.
All models come standard with side curtain airbags that protect the head and torso from side impacts. The driver also gets front seat-mounted side airbags, as well as knee bolsters on the front passenger seat to help prevent leg injuries in frontal crashes.
The Wrangler has an anti-roll bar and stiffer springs, which help it resist rollovers by keeping all four wheels on the ground. It also offers high ground clearance and wide tires, which allow it to resist hydroplaning in wet conditions. These safety features make the Jeep Wrangler an ideal first car for teens.
Keep Your Young Driver Focused on the Road
The Jeep Wrangler has many features to keep drivers focused on the road. It has a standard rearview camera to help teens back up safely, and it includes Hill Descent Control and Selec-Terrain with five settings: Auto, Sport (default), Snow, Sand/Mud, and Rock.
These controls allow drivers to control their driving experience based on what they are doing at the time. In addition, the Wrangler has blind spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection that alerts drivers if an object is in their blind spot.
A Touch Control Audio system allows drivers to control the radio, climate control, and other functions by simply pressing buttons on the steering wheel instead of reaching for buttons on the dashboard. This keeps their eyes on the road at all times instead of taking their hands off the wheel.
Additionally, the intelligent design of the Wrangler offers a “head-up” display that projects important information onto the windshield, so you don’t have to look down at the instrument panel when driving.
The forward collision warning system alerts you if you approach another car too closely. If you don’t react in time, this feature can automatically brake for you to prevent a crash.
This feature can also activate seat belt reminders, which can reduce injuries during crashes by helping keep passengers restrained in their seats.
The rear-cross traffic alert feature warns drivers of activity behind their vehicle while backing up or parking so they can avoid hitting other cars or pedestrians in their path.
A Vehicle that Can Keep Up with Your Teen
A fully loaded Jeep Wrangler can cost as little as $45,000. That’s not bad for a vehicle that will last for several years with proper maintenance and care.
The Wrangler has excellent fuel economy compared to other SUVs and crossovers on the market today. Its standard 3.6L V6 engine gets 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on highway driving conditions.
Its 3.6-liter V6 engine provides 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, which enables it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 6 seconds. The Wrangler also comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission that seamlessly shifts through gears as needed for maximum efficiency and performance.
The Wrangler is known for being very reliable and easy to maintain over time. This makes it an excellent choice if your teen doesn’t have much experience working on cars or maintaining them properly.
The Wrangler also offers incredible infotainment technology and a comfortable interior. The current model has an 8-inch touchscreen display that can access over 30 apps, including SiriusXM radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
Your teen can listen to their favorite music or podcasts while driving around town. They also have access to all kinds of information, such as weather reports and traffic updates, through the screen.
The seats are roomy, and the legroom is generous. The rear seat folds down to create more cargo space when needed. The doors open wide, so getting in and out is easy.
Its high-quality finishes include some models’ soft-touch surfaces on the dash and door panels and leather seating surfaces. There are plenty of storage areas throughout the cabin, including cupholders that can hold up to four cups at once.
An Easy Choice for Your Teen’s First Car
The best vehicles are safe, dependable, and easy to drive—and they aren’t necessarily the most expensive cars. A Jeep Wrangler may not be the cheapest vehicle on the market, but it offers a great blend of performance, style, and value that could make all the difference in your teen’s life.
