5 Cars With Extra Safety
We're featuring cars with extra airbag and other safety features.
If you’re looking for a great new ride to get your day started off just right, we’ve got some vehicles being sold right around the corner.
This Monday is Memorial Day, a day to remember the men and women who have fought for the safety of our country, and died in battle while making sure the American people could live in a safe place with the rights they have been promised. So because of that, and recognizing that this is also the unofficial start of summer and the weekend for some of the biggest car sales, we present a list of five new cars with plenty of airbag capability and other features so that you can ensure the safety of your own family.

2. 2013 Infiniti QX56 — New — $79,835
From Cars.com: This vehicle has second and third row head airbags and driveline traction control, as well as memorized settings for two drivers, and for the mirror, because it is easier to be safe in a vehicle when you are actually comfortable being in the driver's seat.
Available at Ray Catena Infiniti of Bridgewater on Route 22.
3. 2013 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 LTZ — New — $63,175
From Cars.com: The car does have airbag deactivation capabilities for those moments when a seat is actually empty, but it also has dual airbags to provide more protection for the driver and passenger, as well as an emergency brake assist and several anti-theft devices (but those may only be tested if you leave valuables in the car, which we are obviously not advocating doing).
Available at Royal Chevrolet on Route 22 in Bridgewater.
4. 2013 Hyundai Equus Signature — New — $60,170
From Cars.com: This car also has side airbags, in additional to all the standard ones, and includes several features that will make sure you are not driving and using your handheld phone—Bluetooth wireless connectivity, voice activated navigation system—while on your long summer afternoon drives.
Available at Global Automail on Route 22 in North Plainfield.
5. 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit — New — $51,990
From Cars.com: It has all of the standard airbags that are important, and it also adds a braking assist, stability control with anti-roll control and more to hopefully help stop accidents before they happen and make that summer drive much more of a pleasant experience.
