Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that Ford are one of the world's most popular car brands. They have a range of models to suit all lifestyles, from the frugal Fiesta to the mighty Mustang. If you're thinking of getting a new car soon, you might be considering a Ford model.
Did you know that Ford is also known for their advanced vehicle technologies? If you thought that the brand wasn't a leader of automotive innovation, think again! Let me give you five examples of how Ford's technology helps drivers like you and I have a pleasant time on the road:
1. Ford SYNC
If you've not heard of the Ford SYNC technology before, let me explain. In a nutshell, it offers voice-activated control of various functions in your car. If you have a Bluetooth smartphone, it will work fine with the Ford SYNC system.
For instance, you can tell it to stream an album or a song from your digital playlist. You can even tell it to make or receive calls for you while you're driving. Best of all, it even links with some of your favourite apps while you're on the road.
2. Easy Access Door System
On some models, the Easy Access Door System features as standard. The way that this technology works is simple. You have twin sliding doors on each side of the vehicle, and no B pillar that gets in the way.
It's useful for getting out of the car in a confined location. In case you're wondering, the B pillar's built into the doors themselves! Have a look for your local TCH Locations to find out where you can see such a model in person!
Let's set the scene. You are driving along in slow-moving traffic. The car in front slams on their brakes without warning! In most vehicles, you would have a low-impact accident.
Thanks to the Active City Stop technology, it will detect when such events happen before you do! It's a useful feature to have if you live or commute in a busy urban location. The system works as long as you are doing less than 19 mph.
4. Hands-Free Tailgate
Don't you hate it when you've got your hands full, and you have to somehow find your keys to unlock your car's boot? Well, thanks to the Hands-Free Tailgate technology, that problem's a thing of the past!
As long as your cars are on you, all you need to do is wave your foot underneath the rear bumper. The tailgate will then open for you, giving you one less thing to worry about on your travels.
5. Active Park Assist
Do you hate parking? I know I do! Parallel parking can be a nightmare at the best of times. Ford's Active Park Assist helps you out by identifying a space big enough for your car.
It will also steer the car into the space for you. All you need to do is control the pedals and gear lever. Pretty cool, don't you think?
