These 4 Affordable Vehicles Actually Have The Best Tech
It’s that time of year when we geek out about the fancy updated tech in new model vehicles being released!
Whether it’s decked-out dashboards or super-sensitive safety sensors, we’re always on the lookout for standouts in vehicle-innovation.
Since we like to stay grounded with our lists (because everyone should be able to be safe), we’ve picked some of the more popular vehicles on the road to highlight:
The 2021 model of the popular compact sedan not only comes with a slew of sleek lines on its exterior, but a souped-up 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system, a 10.2-inch customizable LCD gauge cluster, and remote controls via phone app. On the safety side of things, the Elantra is armed with forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alert, lane-keep assist, safe exit alert, and optional adaptive cruise control and pedestrian detection.
2021 Ford F-150 Power Boost Hybrid
The latest model of this All-American best-seller is not only a heavy-duty hauler, but can compete with the best of them when it comes to tech features. The high-tech infotainment system accommodates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and provides bumper-to-bumper updates, the electric motor adds fuel efficiency to the legendary torque and towing power, and the Pro Power OnBoard built-in generator can generate up to 7.2kw of power, enough to power your house!
When it comes to an EV with amazing tech under $40k, the Chevrolet Bolt EV overdelivers. For starters, its iteration of a hands-free highway driving assistant, Super Cruise, is ready for usage in the U.S. and Canada. Add to that the 10.2-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, (optional) rearview camera mirror, various driver-assist and active safety functions, and you have one of the best high-tech vehicle purchases around.
While the interior is chock-full-of features like 12.3 digital instrument panel, 9-inch touch-screen infotainment system, the safety tech on this SUV is top-notch; lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, oncoming collision mitigation, adaptive headlights, and Pilot Assist partially automated driving system are what make this vehicle the best bang for your buck when it comes to tech.
