Vern Laures Auto Center shares its top picks for the safest 2025 SUVs, helping Iowa families find comfort, confidence, and peace of mind on the road.
New Hampton, IA, October 15, 2025 — Vern Laures Auto Center is excited to spotlight the safest SUVs of 2025, helping families across Charles City and Northeast Iowa choose vehicles built to protect what matters most. With more advanced safety features than ever, this year’s lineup proves drivers don’t have to choose between security, comfort, and style.
For more than six decades, Vern Laures Auto Center has earned the trust of Iowa drivers by focusing on what families truly value-dependable vehicles, honest advice, and a personal touch. This year, the dealership is shining a light on SUVs that have earned top ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), ensuring customers know which models stand out for protection and reliability.
Among small SUVs, the Jeep Compass has received praise for its intuitive safety technology, including blind spot monitoring and automatic braking. For larger families, the Chevrolet Traverse and Mazda CX-90 continue to impress with strong crash-test performance and smart driver-assist systems. Those seeking a premium experience without compromising safety can look toward the Jeep Grand Wagoneer or Chevrolet Suburban High Country, both combining luxury with innovation.

“Safety is no longer just a feature-it’s a promise,” said Perry Laures, President at Vern Laures Auto Center. “When customers visit us, they’re not just shopping for a car; they’re choosing how to keep their family safe every day. We take that responsibility seriously.”
Laures added that the conversation around vehicle safety has changed dramatically in recent years. Modern SUVs now come equipped with intelligent sensors, real-time alerts, and collision-avoidance systems that work quietly to prevent accidents before they happen.
What hasn’t changed for this car dealership near Charles City Iowa, is its commitment to a comfortable, pressure-free experience. Instead of sales tactics, the Vern Laures Auto Center team focuses on understanding what each driver truly needs. Local shoppers enjoy solo test drives, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and even the option to custom order a vehicle built just for them.
“Every customer who walks through our doors has a story,” said Dan Venem, Sales Consultant at Vern Laures Auto Center. “Maybe they’re buying their first family vehicle or trading in an older model for something safer. We listen and guide them toward the right fit, not the fastest sale.”
