The world of automobiles is changing rapidly. The features which were earlier available only in expensive luxury cars, are now available in affordable cars as well. Due to this, common people have started getting the benefit of more convenience, better security and comfort at a lower price. Now many such modern technologies and features are visible in ordinary cars, which were available only in premium vehicles a few years ago. Let us know about those special features, which are now gradually becoming available in every budget car.
head up display
- Head-up display was earlier seen only in premium cars, but now affordable cars like Maruti Baleno, Brezza, Toyota Hyrider and Tata Sierra are also offering it. This feature displays speed, navigation and important information directly on the windscreen, so that the driver does not have to look down to see the instrument cluster. Its advantage is that driving becomes safer and easier.
Ventilated Seats
- Let us tell you that ventilated seats were once a part of luxury cars, but now they are also available in affordable cars like Renault Kiger, Skoda Kushaq and Maruti XL6. Some cars are even offering extra features like reclining and ventilation in the rear seat.
passenger display
- The feature which was earlier available only in the interiors of super-luxury cars, is now seen in SUVs like Tata Sierra, Mahindra XEV 9e and XEV 9S. Video, music and many in-car controls can be easily accessed on the 3rd screen located in front of the front passenger.
Facility to open the boot without using hands
- Earlier the use of this feature was limited to luxury SUVs, but now it is easily available in models like Maruti Victoris, Tata Sierra and MG Windsor. When hands are full of stuff, the boots open just by moving the feet.
AVAS system
- Due to the quiet sound of electric vehicles, AVAS technology has become very important for the safety of pedestrians. Many models like MG Comet, Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Innova Hycross now come with this feature. At low speed, the vehicle generates artificial sound that can be heard from outside, which reduces the risk of accidents. Overall, automobile companies are now incorporating high-end technology even in affordable cars, due to which customers are able to get better comfort, modern features and more safety at a lower price. This change is going to make the driving experience even better in the future.
