4 Questions to Ask for Choosing the Safest Car

Unless you’re looking into a family car that perfectly suits small children, car safety, specifically comprehensive car safety, isn’t something that’s going to immediately come to your mind as a priority, right? For the average person who’s shopping for a car, they’re looking more into the aesthetic, mileage, fuel efficiency, smart features, and other things that help make the car stand out. For the most part, it’s just assumed that road safety is going to be calculated for every car.

It’s true; just about every car has standards such as locked seat belts, airbags, and child safety features such as locked doors. But when it comes to feeling absolutely confident that you’ll be safe, especially if the worst were to happen, you will want to have nothing but the best. So, with that said, here’s everything you need to know for buying a car that you know is going to be safe for you and your passengers onboard.

What’s the Crash Testing Rate?

So, first things first, you need to look into crash test ratings; this is something that consumers have access to. Organisations like Euro NCAP and IIHS conduct thorough crash tests and provide ratings for vehicles’ safety performance. So, you’re going to want to look for cars with high ratings in frontal, side, and rollover crash tests.

Are There Any Safety Features?

For the most part, you can count on modern cars to come equipped with a range of different advanced safety features. Ideally, you’re going to want to prioritise vehicles that include features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and the list will just go on and on. All of these are entirely meant to help you avoid getting into any potential accidents.

What’s the Brand?

There might be some bias depending on what car brands you like the most; however, there might be some truth to it. There are some brands out there with a better reputation than others when it comes to safety.  Some folks will even look into certain models too, such as the Audi Quattro car, since it has a pretty solid reputation for safety. But in general, it’s not always just the manufacturer, but it’s also the model itself, so don’t just immediately pick your favourite manufacturer and just assume all of their models will be safe/

What Sort of Child Safety Features Are Included?

If you have a kid or plan on having kids in your car, then you’re definitely going to want to ask about this one. Çhildren is reckless and can cause accidents such as opening the door and so on, so it’s paramount that the child safety features are good and trusted for the car. No parent wants to put their child at risk. You can check if the car is equipped with features like rearview cameras, rear parking sensors, and the LATCH system for securing child car seats. Now, not all cars were made to be family cars and to have children as passengers, so that’s something else to keep in mind too.

All-new Jaguar F-Type Coupe & R



5-liter supercharged V8 engine and will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (electronically limited)2. The F-TYPE S Coupe and F-TYPE Coupe are powered by 3-liter supercharged V6 engines in 380hp and 340hp forms respectively, giving 0-60 mph in 4.8/5.1 seconds and top speeds of 171/161 mph2.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.

The second heart line begins at the rear edge of the door, swelling outwards and upwards to create a visually strong wheel arch, emphasizing the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, before dropping vertically through the tail lamp ...
