Now that you have decided to purchase a car for yourself, the next question is which one? Your first priority would obviously be the price. You don't want to spend too much money on a car do you? And the next priority has to be safety. After all, why would anyone want to buy a car that isn't safe to drive? That is why I have put together this list of 5 cars that are considered as some of the safest and cheapest cars in the United States today. Enjoy:

 

1. Volvo V40

 

While not much to look at, the Volvo V40 is considered as one of the safest vehicles on the road. The car has an excellent autonomous emergency braking feature which detects hazards such as pedestrians. The car also has the first ever frontal airbag that deploys from below the bonnet if the vehicle senses a pedestrian in danger of being hit by the car. This car isn't only safe for those inside the car but even for the people outside. What more could you want?

 

 

2. Toyota Camry

 

The Toyota Camry is a very popular car in countries like Singapore and Australia apart from the United States and that is mainly because it is so safe and reliable. It comes with 10 airbags for each passenger as well as stability car which makes the car more or less unflappable. It also comes with a Hill Assist feature which prevents the car from rolling backwards on inclines. This car has also been awarded a 5 star rating for safety against side impacts by the United States Department of Transportation. Now, that's one safe car.

 

3. Hyundai Santa Fe

 

This car is among the safest SUV's in the market today. It offers security in the form of its onboard electric stability programme and also includes a pop up bonnet which increases the amount of space between the car’s engine and a pedestrian in front of the car thus protecting the pedestrian in case of a crash. If you're after price and safety, the Santa Fe is for you, the only task left is figuring out how to buy a car that popular, because there's always a variaty of financing deals on it.

 

4. BMW 3 Series

 

For BMW safety has always been one of the key discussion points and nothing has changed with the new BMW 3 series. The car features best in class safety features that would put most other cars to shame. The car also makes an impression when it comes to adult, child and even infant protection. The construction of the vehicle is such that it can even protect pedestrians in the case of an accident. The car also has a wide range of other features like a head-up display, lane departure warning, automatic seatbelt tensioning, automatic braking, etc. And then you have the trusty BMW assist to help you in case of an accident as well.

 

5. Audi 3 Sportback

 

You may consider this a small car for Audi but rest assured they leave no stone unturned in terms of safety. The 3 door hatchback has won numerous awards all over the world for its safety rating and has proven time and time again why it is considered one of the safest small cars in the world. The car has features like multistage deployment for airbags and active head restraints which ensure both front passengers are safe. It also has roof airbags which protect both the front and rear passengers and the three-point seatbelts in the Audi 3 Sportback ensure that all passengers in the car come out of a crash with nothing more than a few bumps and bruises.
