Used SUVs for Sale Under $23,000
The active-safety systems of an SUV under $23,000
At this budget, a large share of recent SUVs come with a suite of active-safety systems. On a vehicle with a bigger footprint and a raised driving position, these aids take on particular meaning: they complement the driver's vigilance where the SUV's size creates blind spots or lengthens distances. Understanding them well helps you choose an SUV that suits you, without ever relying on them blindly.
The most common safety aids on an SUV
Several systems appear frequently on recent SUVs at this budget:
- Automatic emergency braking: it can apply the brakes if an obstacle is detected and the driver does not react in time.
- Blind-spot monitoring: especially useful on an SUV, whose pillars and size reduce side visibility.
- Rear cross-traffic alert: it flags an approaching vehicle while reversing, common in parking lots.
- Lane keeping: it helps correct an unintended drift on the highway.
These systems assist the driver but do not replace them: they work within certain limits and call for staying attentive. The vehicle listings specify the aids present on each SUV.
Check the driver aids on the test drive
On the test drive, get familiar with each system: how it signals an alert, how to turn it on or off, and how it behaves on the road. Every SUV is presented with its Carfax report and the results of the 160-point inspection performed by our technicians, which covers the electrical components tied to these systems among other things. An advisor can walk you through the aids of a particular model.
