Best Used Cars for New Drivers


Safety, convenience, and durability are essential attributes in any used vehicle. These are imperative assets for a driver who’s new to navigating the road.

To help the new driver in your family drive safely around Worcester, Auburn, or Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, let’s look at some of the best used cars for new drivers at Harr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR).

The Family Friendly Ride: Chrysler Pacifica

If you’re teaching the teen the ropes behind the wheel while juggling the rest of the kids day to-day, the Chrysler Pacifica is a great choice to appease everyone. This minivan is a notable favorite for our family drivers thanks to its versatility and reliability. 

With standout features like the Stow 'n Go seating, your cabin can be configured to accommodate the kids and their cargo comfortably. Many Pacifica models also include a built-in vacuum, making it easier to keep the cabin clean.

When sharing a vehicle with your new driver, the Pacifica does a great job meeting your and your novice’s needs. 

Dodge Durango

Top-of-the-Line Performance: Dodge Durango

Is your new driver an eager auto enthusiast? The Dodge Durango is a solid choice. This SUV embodies the muscle car might of the Dodge name while also balancing safe features. 

Along with the impressive engine options, the Durango model can keep the driver balanced on its 52/48 weight distribution found on specific models. The drive axle’s incredible balance improves traction and downhill speed control for a controlled drive. 

It may come equipped with a top-of-the-line transmission that adjusts automatically between eight different speeds, which is always convenient for someone new to the road. 

Some Durango models have an Electronic T-Shifter and easy-to-use paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. Both work to switch gears, making this a great starter-performance car. 

Jeep Grand Cherokee

Keep Calm and Drive on Any Terrain: Jeep Grand Cherokee

Jeep is a popular favorite for young drivers thanks to its unique style and impressive capabilities. If your kid is a part of the fan club, the sturdy design of the Jeep Grand Cherokee makes it a great used car for a new driver. 

Certain models' driving assistance may offer your driver an all-wheel drivetrain for more control over the vehicle. You might even have a Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System with different drive modes, such as Snow and Mud/Sand, so that a beginning driver can be safer come rain or shine, winter or summer.

You may also find plenty of advanced features designed to help the driver stay alert and safe in the Grand Cherokee. If equipped with Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, a camera will monitor areas out of sight so they’re not out of mind.

 Ram 1500

Start with a Sturdy Truck: Ram 1500

Want to start your new driver with a truck? This is a solid choice, given its high and sturdy build. The Ram 1500 is a well-rounded truck, combining notable pickup perks with an easily navigable build. 

The Ram 1500 is durable enough to steel the conditions. Since specific models have a body that is 98% steel, it is an even more dependable vehicle. 

If you wonder if a new driver can do much with a truck bed, know that it may come with a multifunction tailgate. These swinging doors open in a 60/40 split, making the truck bed accessible and convenient for someone new to loading and unloading.
