When shopping for a used vehicle, safety should always be one of your top priorities. Thanks to rapid advancements in automotive technology, today’s used cars often come equipped with the same cutting-edge safety features that you would expect in a brand-new model. This is great news for drivers in Saskatchewan who want to stay protected on the road without paying the higher price tag of a new vehicle.
At 306 Deal, we know how important it is for families, students, and everyday drivers to feel confident behind the wheel. That is why we put together this guide to help you understand the most valuable safety features to look for in a used vehicle in 2025.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Modern vehicles now include driver assistance technology! Designed to prevent accidents before they happen. Features from lane departure warning, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. To automatic emergency braking have quickly become must-haves. When browsing our inventory, keep an eye out for these ADAS features, as they provide an extra layer of protection during everyday driving and long trips across Saskatchewan highways.
If you want to test these systems in action, you can book a test drive with one of our available models and see how these technologies work in real-world conditions.
Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Saskatchewan roads can often present unexpected challenges, from busy city streets in Saskatoon to rural highways where visibility is limited. Blind spot monitoring helps drivers stay aware of vehicles that may not be visible in side mirrors, while rear cross traffic alert warns you about approaching cars or pedestrians when backing out of parking spots.
These features are especially useful for new drivers or families with young passengers, making them some of the most sought-after options in used vehicles. If you are considering trading in your current car for one equipped with these modern safety features, use our trade-in appraisal tool to get started.
360-Degree Camera Systems
Parking in tight spaces, reversing out of a crowded lot, or maneuvering through icy conditions can all be made easier with a 360-degree camera system. Many late-model used SUVs and sedans now come with this feature, giving drivers a bird’s-eye view around their vehicle. This technology not only improves convenience but also prevents costly accidents.

Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking
Forward collision warning combined with automatic emergency braking is one of the most impactful safety advancements of the past decade. These systems use sensors to detect potential collisions ahead and can automatically apply the brakes to prevent or reduce impact. In 2025, many used cars just a few years old now include this life-saving technology.
If safety is a priority for you or your family, our team at 306 Deal can help you identify vehicles with this feature. You can get preapproved quickly and start the buying process, or even apply online for financing today.
Adaptive Headlights
Driving in Saskatchewan often means dealing with long, dark highways and sudden weather changes. Adaptive headlights improve visibility by adjusting the beam direction based on your speed and steering angle, making night driving much safer. This feature is particularly useful in rural areas or during our long winter months.
Airbag Advancements and Stronger Crash Structures
While airbags have been around for decades, newer models include advanced airbag systems designed to protect occupants more effectively in different types of collisions. Combined with stronger vehicle crash structures, these improvements help reduce the risk of injury. When shopping for a used car at 306 Deal, ask our team about which models come equipped with the most up-to-date airbag systems.
Why Safety Features Matter in a Used Vehicle
Buying used does not mean compromising on safety. In fact, many vehicles in our inventory from just a few years ago offer advanced protection and performance enhancements that make them an incredible value. Choosing a used car with modern safety technology can give you peace of mind while also helping you save money.
