New Tech Features in Kia Models

Feb 8, 2018

As your Waukegan Kia auto dealers, Classic Kia takes pride in bringing you vehicles with cutting-edge technology. That is why we’d like to let you know about the new tech features to look out for in 2018.

Remote Start Apps

The advancement and proliferation of onboard computers in cars have allowed for much better integration with smartphones. Cars can be unlocked, lights activated, the engine itself can now be turned on all from an app on your phone. You could say goodbye to clunky keychains, and never have to worry about locking your keys in your car again.

Self-Driving

Assisted parking and autonomous emergency braking have largely become industry standards. It has all been leading towards self-driving technology that is closer to becoming a commercial reality than ever before. Imagine being able to eat breakfast or review the days work while you safely move through traffic. You may not have to imagine it for much longer.

Steering Collision Avoidance

A further sign that self-driving cars are closer than you may think is the addition of steering collision avoidance. This system takes forward collision warnings and even autonomous emergency braking to another level. The vehicle will react and move on its own to circumvent a possible accident.

Wireless Charging

When you consider how much mileage we get out of our phones these days, keeping them charged becomes extremely important. While most vehicles have outlets you can plug a charger into, some vehicles are skipping the middle man and providing platforms that will charge your phone wirelessly. It may not be as dramatic as a car driving on its own, but it sure is handy.

Take a look at the 2018 Kia Sportage here at Classic Kia. We’d be happy to inform you of all the tech features currently available and waiting just over the horizon.
