Innovative Parking Technology at Classic Kia

Apr 7, 2017

Parking can be a major hassle, when you are lucky enough to find a space, getting in and out of it can be even more of a headache. At Classic Kia in Waukegan, IL, we know the difficulty that squeaking into a parking spot can entail, a parallel parking spot even more so. It is for this reason that we’d like to inform you of some the innovations that have been made in parking technology.
Many of the problems when it comes to parallel parking stem from the fact that you only have the vantage point of the driver seat, and, seeing as you can’t see through the body of your car, it is impossible to see with absolute certainty exactly how close you are to an object. You are forced to make educated judgment and hope for the best. When you buy or lease a 2017 Kia Sorento or Kia Sportage, you have the option of a 360 camera, which takes the guesswork out of parking. With the 360 camera, you can see anything in your immediate area, including how close you are to any other cars, or even how close or far you are from the curb.

As impressive as the 360 camera is, it’s the Smart Parking Assist System that is the real show stopper. Once you’ve engaged the Smart Parking system it will scan for a suitable parking space. Once it’s found a safe one, it will essentially park itself. You retain control of shifting and acceleration and braking, but your 2017 Kia Sportage will do all the rest.

To see these amazing features for yourself, come into Classic Kia. At your local Kia dealership, you’ll find these cutting-edge driving machines and many more.
