6 Game-Changing Car Features You Won’t Want to Miss

newautopost Views  

Modern car models are equipped with a plethora of valuable features. These include a blind spot detection system to prevent accidents and a memory function that allows the car seat to return to a previously set position. But which features are especially beneficial?

When purchasing a new car, it’s recommended to check if these features are included in the standard specifications. Even if they’re not, it might be worth paying extra to add them.

Heated Steering Wheel and Seats
Adaptive Cruise Control

Many recent car models come standard with heated steering wheels and seats. On a cold winter day, the moment you get into a car parked outdoors, the battle against the cold begins. A heated steering wheel keeps your hands warm throughout the drive, and heated seats keep your body warm. This is much more effective than heating the air with the heater, especially in electric cars where the battery drains quickly when the heater is on.

It’s pretty bothersome to adjust your car’s speed every time the vehicle in front changes its speed.
That’s where a helpful feature comes in adaptive cruise control. This system maintains an appropriate distance from the car in front using a radar mounted on the front. Recently, Hyundai and Kia have introduced advanced intelligent cruise control that automatically stops when the vehicle in front stops and restarts when the car in front moves.

Head-Up Display
360-Degree Around View

The Head-Up Display (HUD) projects information at the driver’s eye level, providing information right in front of the driver’s view, enhancing convenience and safety while driving. Because you can check necessary information at a glance without looking at the dashboard, it reduces the time your eyes are off the road, ensuring safety and convenience. Since Kia first introduced the HUD in the K9 launched in 2012, many domestic cars have been equipped with this feature.

As cars become more extensive and rear visibility worsens, technology to assist parking in tight spaces is becoming more crucial than ever. The around-view feature will be a great help in such situations. This feature uses cameras mounted on the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle to create a bird’s eye view image of the vehicle’s surroundings, which is displayed on a monitor in the car. Hyundai and Kia also call this a surround-view monitor.

Power Memory Seat
Side Mirror Dimming

The power memory seat feature allows you to adjust the seat’s height and angle to your preference without manipulating the seat controls from scratch. This feature can be handy if you share the vehicle with others.

While driving, it can be uncomfortable if the sun or the car’s high beams behind you reflect in your rearview mirror. New cars on the market come equipped with dimming technology in the rearview side mirrors, which uses a light sensor and an electrochromic (ECM) device to reduce the brightness of the mirrors. This technology can be found not only in luxury cars but also in mass-market cars.
