Today’s Luxury Car Trends

From: REAP, LLC. | Retirement & Estate Advisors & Professionals

While automobiles are depreciating assets, they are necessities for many people. And with advances in technology, car owners have come to expect much more from their vehicles than simply transportation. Are you currently in the market for a new car? Are you familiar with the latest high-tech offerings? Consider your options and decide what’s most important to you.

High-Tech Safety Features
Integrated lane drift warnings, rear bumper cameras and adaptive cruise control (to maintain a safe distance behind the vehicle ahead of you) are some of the most desirable features in today’s cars. Advanced safety components like these might even qualify for a discount on your auto insurance, so be sure to talk to your provider.

Entertainment and Convenience
Manufacturers also develop new technology to make the driving experience more enjoyable and convenient. Road warriors, in particular, value a car with connectivity capabilities common in smartphones, such as Wi-Fi that can act as a mobile hot spot. Voice commands, which allow drivers to make a call, send a message and play music without the use of their phone, are also in demand.

Top-of-the-Line Rides
Of course, car tech isn’t just about safety and entertainment; it’s also about taking luxury to the next level. Many commuters are thrilled (and some are skeptical) about self-driving cars as they continue to pop up in cities across America. But it’s clear the idea is still in its infancy. For now, discriminating tech enthusiasts in the market for a new vehicle look for innovations that minimize one’s carbon footprint while offering elegant touches and an exciting driving experience.
