The Hyundai Sonata Brings Smart Safety to Sussex County’s First-Time Drivers
Letting your teen take the wheel is never easy, especially when the wheel is pointed toward icy Sussex hills, sharp turns on Route 206, or the occasional unpaved “shortcut” their GPS insists is a road (spoiler: it’s definitely not). That’s why the Hyundai Sonata earned a featured spot in Nielsen Editorial’s roundup of the safest vehicles for teen drivers in NJ. It’s the kind of sedan that doesn’t just look smart. It actually is smart, with a safety résumé longer than most teens’ attention spans.
Recent Sonata models have consistently landed IIHS Top Safety Pick+ honors, thanks to strong crash-test scores and standard features that include Hyundai SmartSense — a suite packed with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Driver Attention Warning. Basically, it’s like handing your teen the keys and a digital co-pilot who never zones out thinking about what’s for lunch.
And while the Sonata keeps things locked down on the safety front, it also delivers the kind of comfortable ride and confident handling that helps young drivers feel calm, in control, and slightly less likely to slam the brakes every time they see a yellow light. It’s spacious without feeling like a land yacht, refined without being fussy, and efficient enough to keep them from spending all their summer lifeguarding money on gas.
In a place like Sussex County, where a snow squall, a steep hill, and a left-lane lingerer all show up in the same five-mile stretch, the Sonata is exactly the kind of car you want backing up your teen’s growing skills. Find a new Sonata for sale in NJ at Franklin Sussex Hyundai.
