The new school year is quickly approaching, and that also comes with a lot of new drivers. If your teen is preparing to drive for the first time, we recommend a used GMC SUV. Lester Glenn GMC shares all the reasons they make a great vehicle for going back to school.

Affordable

Adding another vehicle to your household can be a major expense. By considering a pre-owned SUV, you avoid a lot of the depreciation that comes with a new vehicle, which makes them much more affordable. Plus, added expenses such as registration and auto insurance are typically cheaper for a used car too.

Safe

When it comes to a new driver, you can never be too safe. Proactive safety features have been a major component in GMC SUVs for many years, giving your new driver another level of protection on every drive. Depending on which model you select, their notable features include:

  • Teen Driver
  • Buckle to Drive
  • Forward Collision Alert
  • Blind Zone Steering Assist
  • Following Distance Indicator
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Spacious

We recommend a compact SUV for your new driver, so that they can confidently park it and maneuver it in traffic. Even with a smaller stature, a used GMC Terrain still provides plenty of versatile space, giving your student enough space for their backpack, gear, and other belongings. In fact, with the rear seats down, it can carry up to 63.5 cubic feet of cargo.
