5. Buick Encore

Buick’s crossover SUV shares a platform and most of its mechanical parts with Opel Mokka, and it has scored nothing but excellent marks in both European and North American crash tests. The Encore starts at $22,990 as a FWD SUV with available AWD, and when it comes to safety, it has ten airbags as standard, as well as optional lane departure warning, blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, and OnStar® system with automatic crash response to keep you connected at all times.
