The most modern cars: top 5 models that offer state-of-art tech

Historically, manufacturers equid only expensive premium cars with the most modern technologies. However, over time, such features have become available on more affordable models. And now state-of-the-art solutions can be found on popular and mass-market cars. Almost every new car is now equipped with rearview cameras, automatic emergency braking, and smartphone integration.

Cars USNews has ranked the most tech-packed new cars. Here are the top 5 on the list.

Chevrolet Bolt EUV

The model boasts a truly high-tech electric transmission. However, this is not all it can surprise the buyer with. It is one of the cheapest cars equipped with a semi-automatic hands-free driving system. The system, known as Super Cruise, can control steering, braking, and acceleration. However, it requires compatible roads, which are not available everywhere. In the United States, for example, only 320,000 kilometers of roads are currently Super Cruise-compatible.

Unlike some semi-automatic driving systems available today, Chevrolet requires constant attention and the driver's ability to resume manual control at any time. If the system detects that you are distracted, it will disengage.

Hyundai Elantra

This is an energetic and balanced compact car with a very nice starting price. What makes it stand out in the niche is the impressive set of standard safety technologies. Some of them are unusual for this class.

In addition to the expected technologies such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, all Elantra models are equipped with automatic braking when reversing, driver attention monitoring, and a safe exit warning that can prevent you or your passengers from opening the door in traffic. In higher trim levels, the buyer can get automatic emergency braking with cyclist detection and intersection lane departure control, which can help avoid an accidental collision.

Nissan Rogue

The 2023 model boasts engine configurations that can change their characteristics according to the needs of the driver. Simply put, it can offer the right torque at the right time, and adjust the power when you need acceleration.

In addition, the Rogue is one of the few vehicles in its class with standard rear automatic braking. And models with upgraded interior trim are equipped with Nissan's semi-automatic ProPilot Assist driving technology, which is rare in this class.

Subaru Forester

In addition to the standard all-wheel drive, the 2023 Subaru Forester is equipped with many features to help you overcome difficult conditions and prevent collisions on the road. Thus, all models in the lineup have an updated version of the EyeSight suite of advanced safety and driver assistance technologies. And most can offer technology to optimize traction in suboptimal conditions, called X-Mode. It includes a downhill stability control system that helps maintain stability even on slippery slopes.

Models with maximum equipment can boast of automatic braking. It prevents the possibility of collisions and damage when reversing.

Toyota Sienna

The minivan from the Japanese automaker has an atypical tech set for cars of this class. Typically, drivers interested in minivans look for safety technologies that can keep children safe, as well as entertainment systems to keep them entertained on the road. The new Sienna offers all of this, plus excellent fuel economy and all-wheel drive.

The model is also equipped with a 245 horsepower hybrid powertrain. Its all-wheel drive system uses an electric motor for the rear wheels, so the model does not have a mechanical driveshaft connecting the front and rear wheels, which frees up additional space in the cabin.
