When it comes to buying a car, consumers continue to say that bigger is better. SUVs and trucks continued to outsell smaller sedans in September. But not all SUVs are created equal. Here the round up all the ones on the market with the most advanced features.
1. Volvo XC90
The Volvo XC90 is a roomy and luxurious SUV, but it also has several high-tech features. For example, there are four hidden cameras to provide 360-degree views when driving and parking.
2. Audi Q7
Audi gave its 2017 Q7 SUV a major tech upgrade. It has a driver-assistant system that can sense emergency situations and prepare accordingly by braking and closing the windows and sunroof to secure the car. Drivers can also opt to upgrade to the more advanced driving-assistant system that includes backup assist to prevent collisions while reversing and advanced cruise control to keep the car in its lane and keep up with traffic on highways.
3. Tesla Model X
The Tesla Model X has a sleek exterior with its sweeping, falcon-wing doors. The best part of the Model X is arguably that it is a luxury car with Tesla's Autopilot feature, which lets the car steer, brake, and even change lanes for you while driving on the highway. A front-facing camera mounted at the top of the windshield helps identify pedestrians and read speed-limit signs.
4. Range Rover SVAutobiography
Range Rover's SVAutobiography is an extremely luxurious SUV with a surround camera system. You can also open the trunk just by waving your hand. There aren't three rows of seats, but the second row has a massage function and can recline for extra comfort. There's also a folding table that comes out of the center console and a small refrigerating area for keeping drinks cool.
5. Bentley Bentayga
The Bentley Bentayga is so luxurious that there's a version that comes with its own fine china set. It also has eight driver modes, including cruise control and an off-road driving setting. The car comes with numerous driver aids, like a warning system that will detect obstacles in the rear when you're pulling out of a parking space.
6. Mitsubishi Outlander
The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is able to detect pedestrians and blind spots to aid in preventing accidents. It also can detect oncoming vehicles from behind for when you're reversing. The car comes with three drive modes: electric, hybrid, and parallel hybrid (powered by the motor but assisted by the electric motor). The car is capable of selecting the best drive mode based on the road conditions.
7. Lincoln MKX
The 2017 Lincoln MKX comes with several semiautonomous features, including park assist, which can locate open parking spots and help you reverse into them. There's also lane-keep assist designed to prevent drift. There are also four cameras on the car designed to allow you to see your entire surroundings. You can use a corresponding app to start, lock, unlock, and locate your vehicle remotely.
8. Audi Q5
If you're looking for a good crossover SUV, Audi gave its 2018 Q5 a significant upgrade. The car has 30 ambient-light options and fits five inside. The traditional instrument cluster has been replaced by a 12.3-inch digital screen that allows the driver to pull up a heads-up display on the windshield. There's also an 8.3-inch touchscreen on the console with voice control that can recognize gestures and hand-written entries.
9. Maserati Levante
Maserati's Levante is the brand's very first SUV. It features a suite of semiautonomous features, including adaptive cruise control, rear cross-path detection, lane-departure warning, and forward-collision warning. It comes with an 8.4-inch screen that you can control with a central knob. It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SUV starts at $72,600, and there's also a 424-horsepower option that can get to 60 mph in five seconds.
10. Chevrolet Bolt
The Chevy Bolt is a good choice if you're in the market for an electric crossover SUV. The Bolt starts at $36,620 and can drive 240 miles on a single charge. For the price, you're not getting the same number of high-tech features as you would in a Volvo XC90. But it comes with some perks like a digital instrument cluster, lane-keep assist, and a center console that can wirelessly charge your phone.
