Smart technology is an integral part of our lives. It has become a part of many aspects, including our driving. Chrysler brings a shining example of this integration to the roads. Its offer to combine technology with style is the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. This is not like the minivans of the past. Rather, it combines function with technology and style.
Safety and Technology Intertwine
Safety is paramount in life. It is even more important when you take to the roads either by yourself or with your family and friends. The Pacifica answers the safety bell with many technology innovations.
As you drive, there are times when your car may wander outside your driving lane. Avoid an angry horn or a potential accident by relying on your van. The Pacifica has a lane alert system, which helps to keep you in your lane. This feature is helpful on narrow roads or in heavy traffic. It’s important to know who or what is behind you at all times.
Thanks to a new federal law, you are guaranteed to have a backup camera as standard equipment on your van. The camera alerts you of people or objects that are close to you as you backup. Sometimes it may feel as if you need your head on a swivel while driving. Rather than taking your eyes off the road to check intersections, let the car do the work for you. It comes with an onboard cross-traffic alert system.
Keep Your Passengers Entertained
Long car rides are draining for people of all ages. Keep everyone happy and relaxed with the UConnect system, which comes standard in your new Pacifica. The connect gives your passengers a chance to watch movies while on the road. It also allows you to connect your Apple or Android device to your car. If you’re an Apple user you need to have the Apple Carplay to connect your device. Android users must download Android Auto to connect their onboard devices.
Control Your Car without Taking Your Hands Off the Wheel
Distracted driving is a major factor in many car accidents today. Avoid this potentially dangerous situation by using the car to connect wirelessly. You can communicate with others by using a hands-free talking system. You can also control your satellite radio without your fingers leaving the wheel.
Technology Meets Ease
Technology extends to the back of your van as well. It comes with a hands-free liftgate. Gone are the days when you have to balance items with one hand while struggling to open your trunk. Simply lift your foot in front of the sensor. The motion will trigger the sensor to open your rear liftgate. Once the liftgate is open, load and unload your vehicle as usual.
Technology usually leads to an increased price. However, your wallet will like this hybrid. It comes fully loaded, while the MSRP of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid starts at $39,995. You can begin the car-buying process without leaving home. Check out our selection today.
