    1. Is it supposed to help or hurt their sales? 2. Is it a list of cars for seniors to drive or be chauffeured in? If it's a car for seniors to drive, I can't imagine why it's a good idea for them to drive a 3-row SUV, when their children most likely have formed their own families.

    I can’t make sense of this list either. The Forrester has better visibility, is easier to drive, and is mechanically a safer bet than the Ascent. The Toyota Corolla Hybrid Wagon is also a glaring omission.

    Oh Brian...only 1 of these vehicles I would even consider. The Ioniq 5 but the 2025 redux. I'm 57. technically a senior, and was leaning towards a 2025 Mini Countryman JCW. It's only me. I don't have kids or grandkids. Um, unless you want to come and we can try to make some....Anyway, I don't need a big vehicle. I'd even consider a 2025 Tacoma. 2024 Sonata or Kona.

      There was a Subaru in there. A popular choice in the domestic brands is the Ford Escape. Good height for getting in and out, decent cargo space, and crawling with driver aids. As a 60-something, I see my contemporaries in Rav4s, CRVs, Escapes, and Kia/Hyundai. I personally drive an X3, but I do get complaints it’s hard to get in and out of, though I do fine myself. If I were doing a lot of old-people hauling, I’d actually go with a Pacifica in one of their luxury trims.

    Why would a senior want a sedan? No way, rather sit up higher. Don’t buy Hyundai/Kia they have very complicated technology. The Sienna is huge and difficult to park. And the 2024 MDX? Ah they updated the screen to touch in 2025. This list is silly, the best option is the Ascent if you can tolerate a noisy turbo engine!

    Stereotype much? Maybe this segment should be titled Best New Cars for People with Limited Mobility, or for whom ease of ingress/egress is paramount. This senior drives a '24 Mustang EcoBoost--0-60 in 5 sec. for around $30K.

    this was the worst list I've ever seen. there's no logic to any of the choices. how many seniors are really buying low sedans like honda accord or three row suvs and vans? the hrv doesn't even have a power liftgate which should be mandatory to make this list.
