As a leading vehicle manufacturer, Ford has a long history of pushing boundaries when it comes to in-vehicle technology, connectivity, and safety tech. Modern Ford vehicles come packed with innovative tech features that aim to entertain, assist, and delight drivers and passengers. Here are the top features you will find in the latest models at your Ford dealer.
1. SYNC 4 Infotainment
Modern Fords come with SYNC 4, the fourth generation of Ford’s entertainment and connectivity solution. As an upgrade from previous versions, SYNC 4 allows users to seamlessly integrate their smartphone apps and features into the vehicle experience.
SYNC 4 comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloud-based connectivity, enhanced voice recognition, and customizable screen options. For even greater personalization, Ford offers SYNC 4A with Adaptive Dash Cards, which display helpful information on the screen.
2. Ford Co-Pilot360
Ford equips its latest models with the latest high-tech aids under its Ford Co-Pilot360 suite. The suite includes standard and optional features like automatic emergency braking, blind spot information, lane-keeping system, rearview camera, and automatic high-beam headlights.
Ford also has Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, which offers more premium driver aids like evasive steering assist, adaptive cruise control, and post-collision braking.
3. Adaptive Cruise Control
Driving in heavy traffic doesn’t have to be stressful, thanks to Ford’s intelligent adaptive cruise control technology. This technology allows drivers to set a cruising speed and follow distance. The system automatically adjusts vehicle speed based on traffic flow and the car ahead.
Ford’s adaptive cruise control packages come with extra features, depending on the model. These include forward collision control and brake support, stop-and-go capability, and lane centering. With this technology, drivers can relax a bit more behind the wheel while still maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
4. FordPass Connect
FordPass Connect is an innovative connectivity system that allows Ford owners to use a smartphone app to control their vehicle. With FordPass, you can start or schedule the vehicle to start from anywhere, check fuel, maintenance info, and odometer readings, and find your parked vehicle on the map. You can also lock and unlock your Ford with a simple tap on the app.
5. BlueCruise Technology
Ford has taken innovation one step further with its available BlueCruise technology. BlueCruise enables autonomous driving by using cameras, radar, GPS inputs, and detailed map data. It handles acceleration, braking, and steering on certain mapped highway routes known as Blue Zones. Ford plans to expand Blue Zones and enhance the tech’s capabilities even further.
With these technologies and other in-cabin features, modern Ford vehicles are brimming with smart capabilities. Swing by White’s Ford in Urbana, Ohio to explore the latest tech in Ford vehicles.
