All 2017 Buick Models Feature 5-Star Overall Vehicle Safety Score

Buying a new car is always a major decision, and like any big decision in life, it’s important that you stop and consider all of your options instead of rushing into things. Trying to find the perfect vehicle can be a bit like the old needle-and-haystack analogy due to the huge number of factors you’ll need to consider, from power and full efficiency to more cosmetic details like color, style and configuration. However, safety should always be of primary importance, as none of the other factors matter nearly as much as having a vehicle that provides you and your family with the best possible chance of walking away from an accident unharmed.

In this respect, Buick is undoubtedly an excellent choice, as all six 2017 Buick models have received a five-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). In fact, this is the third year in a row that each of the company’s models received a perfect safety rating ensuring that all 2015, 2016 and 2017 model Buicks are amongst the safest vehicles currently on the road.

This is fantastic news for car buyers, as it means you won’t need to be concerned about safety no matter whether you’re looking for a compact SUV like the 2017 Buick Encore, a luxury sedan like the 2017 Buick LaCrosse or an SUV like the 2017 Buick Enclave. As well, anyone who enjoys the idea of cruising with the top down and wind blowing through their hair needs to check out the Buick Cascada, the first convertible to earn a five-star overall vehicle score in 2017.

One especially notable member of this year’s lineup is the 2017 Buick Envision, the company’s first attempt at a crossover, and one of only 38 vehicles to be named as a Top Safety Pick Plus by the Insurance Institute Insurance for Highway Safety.

All of this definitely shows that Buick’s continued commitment to safety is paying off through innovative features like the Safety Alert Seat, which vibrates to warn the driver of danger. Driving a Buick provides the benefit of a wide range of features designed with the safety of you and your family in mind, from Blind Zone Alert and Forward Collision Alert to Automatic Forward Braking and much more.

Of course, safety isn’t the only important factor, and the reliability of a vehicle is also a major consideration. Luckily, Buick also excels in this category, so much so in fact that Consumer Reports named Buick as the third most reliable auto manufacturer in the world. This news is especially major since it is the first time that any American car company has been named in the top three since Consumer Reports began releasing the ratings back in the 1980s.

All of these factors add up to Buick being by far one of the best choices car buyers can make. No matter what style of vehicle you’re looking for, you’re sure to find a 2017 Buick that suits your needs and taste, while also offering superior safety, reliability and performance.
