Latest Features In Cars

Trunks that mechanically open even if your hands are full.

It's Cool: It's always a nightmare trying to open your back as soon as your hands are full with groceries or beach stuff; you usually wind up attempting to kick your back open or perform some embarrassing hand dance move to make it operate. The 2015 Kia Sedona helps you out by automatically opening your back when it finds your smart key in your pocket, and can be programmable for security and effortless access.

NASA-approved car seats that prevent fatigue on long drives.

Why It's Cool: Road trip-inflicted sore butts can make the best of us cranky. To counter this catastrophe, the surprising duo of Nissan and NASA teamed up to develop "zero gravity" chairs which help keep you in a natural posture, while comforting your muscles and spines with cushioning. That's true space-age technology.

Lighter cars, thanks to the use of military-grade aluminum.

Why It's Cool: These days, the concept of a "light car" doesn't only apply to these adorable little smart vehicles you see drifting around the mall. Take a truck like the 2015 Ford F-150, which is 700 pounds lighter, or even Honda's light Fit hatchback that's 57 pounds lighter. This is thanks to the use of next-generation aluminum, making automobiles more lasting, more gas efficient, and easier to control.

Automatic stop and begin engines to conserve gas through these traffic jams.

Why It's Cool: Your car goes through a lot of fuel as it is not moving in traffic, and some folks even go through the measure of stopping their car when things come to a halt. The 2015 Chevy Malibu gets rid of all of the guesswork and automatically stops a vehicle if your foot is on the brake pedal in a jam, and restarts the automobile as soon as your foot is off, saving your gasoline and saving the environment.

Way more gas-efficient engines and motors.

It's Cool: Though the price of gas may be going down recently, the majority of us agree that the less we need to fill up, the better life is. Cars like the 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan and the 2015 Honda Fit are beginning to go beyond 30 miles per gallon, while even more beast-y vehicles such as the 2015 Ford F-150 have more efficient cylinders to save motorists from going into the pump too often.

Sensors that know your driving style and can discover when you're too tired to push.

Why It's Cool: After a long, exhausting night, one of the worst choices you can make would be to drive and risk getting into a severe injury. To solve this, automobile companies such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz have developed sensors and systems that know the way you push and alert one to pull over and have a break when you start swaying or becoming reckless.
