As you age, what you value in a vehicle may change. Obviously everyone is different, but older drivers often prioritize comfort, safety and ease of use when choosing a car.Â
The best cars for seniors typically offer features like spacious interiors with easily adjustable seats, advanced safety systems such as blind-spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking and user-friendly controls.Â
Additionally, you may prioritize a vehicle with smooth rides and good visibility, as well as those with higher seating positions for easier entry and exit. Reliable brands with good customer service and maintenance options can also be important considerations for older drivers.
With these criteria in mind, here are some of our top rides for seniors, arranged from least to most expensive.Â
