7 Awesome New Car Features We'd Want On A Long Road Trip

We wouldn't want to do a long journey without these features.

Modern cars are becoming increasingly safer and more comfortable thanks to new technology. Even a simple Honda Fit now has adaptive radar cruise control - a feature once reserved for high dollar luxury cars. Some of these features can be intrusive, but many can make driving easier. We have compiled a list of our seven favorite new car features that we would want to make a long road trip more comfortable.

Adaptive Cruise Control

One of the best modern features for a road trip is adaptive cruise control (ACC). ACC helps by keeping a set distance from the car in front, freeing the driver from having to even touch the pedals. Advanced systems can even bring the car to a full stop in a traffic jam, and even more high tech systems such as Tesla Autopilot and Cadillac Super Cruise can even handle steering duties.

Head-Up Display

During a long road trip, it can be easy to become distracted when looking at the screen or trying to adjust the radio. This is why a good head-up display (HUD) system is important. A HUD projects important information on the windshield, so it is right in the driver's line of sight. Having a good, clear HUD with data such as navigation prompts and radio information can be very helpful on a long drive.

Infotainment System

While all of the technology on this list is important, it pales in comparison to the importance of a good infotainment system. Without one, other technology may be difficult to use. We like infotainment to be clear, easy to control, and intuitive. Some systems, like Lexus', are difficult to controls. Others, including those from Mazda and Toyota, don't pack desired features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. On a long road trip, we want the infotainment system to be quick and easy to use, so we can keep our eyes on the road. Systems such as Ford Sync and Volvo Sensus have excellent voice command to help keep distractions to a minimum.

Premium Sound System

No long road trip would be complete without music, which is why premium audio makes our list. Most cars offer some sort of upgraded audio system, some of which are better than others. Of the systems we've sampled, the Volvo Bowers & Wilkins was a standout thanks to its unique concert hall mode, which made the music sound like it was being played live in concert.

Wireless Phone Charger

In the past, you would need a specific car charger that would plug into the 12V outlet. Now, modern cars have USB ports and even household outlets to help charge devices. One of our favorite new features is wireless charging, which can charge a phone without a cable. Unfortunately, you have to own a phone with this capability, or the charging pad is useless. We also like the pad to be in a convenient spot, so we can check the phone while it charges. Surprisingly, this isn't always the case.

Adjustable Seating

Having comfortable seats is extremely important during a road trip. That is why highly adjustable seats are a must-have. Lincoln's seats can be adjusted 30-ways, and even feature massaging. Massaging seats are especially great to help keep the driver comfortable on a long road trip. Ventilated (or air conditioned) as well as heated seats can also help keep the driver's body temperature neutral, enhancing comfort on long journeys.

Adaptive Suspension

Adaptive suspension can be useful for many reasons, including giving a car a more comfortable ride as it adjusts to road surfaces to create a smooth ride. They also include a "sport" or "race" mode, which will come in handy for any fun roads along the route.

The Enspire Is Buick’s Awesome New Electric Crossover You Can’t Have

Well, for now...

Buick teased it briefly earlier this month, but I don’t think anyone was expecting the company’s new electric SUV concept to be this gorgeous. The brand kept details light and sweet during Tuesday’s reveal in China but did let it be known that the battery-electric SUV features the company’s eMotion electric propulsion technology, which the Enspire uses to produce a maximum of 550 horsepower metered out to all four wheels.

When all’s said and done, the Enspire should sprint to 60 mph in just 4 seconds. Buick also kept the battery specs a secret but did say the electric crossover can go 370 miles on a charge, and it supports fast and wireless charging. Which means that using a fast charging station will get you 80 percent of the battery’s range after 40 minutes of waiting. It was rumored that the beautiful Buick Avista concept would be produced if the Chinese market took a liking to it. Well, think of the Enspire as what the Chinese market wanted from the Buick Avista all along: a beautiful, timeless design, but with room for shopping in the back, a chauffeur up front, and WiFi. Of course.

Hopefully, we'll see more of these design elements on Buick’s moving forward, in particular, the sharpened and slimmer headlights with LED accents, along with the more natural integration with Buick’s waterfall grille. In the back, the design features a thin LED light bar spanning the entire rear, which helps widen the SUV’s stance, along with the Buick block text spelled out over the rear liftgate. Moving inside, the Enspire brings technology to the front with a brand new OLED screen along with an intelligent augmented reality technology-based head-up display system. Buick also said a 5G high-speed network concept is standard.

It’s unclear what Buick intends to do with the Enspire, be it actually produce something like it, or just use it to inspire future design. Regardless, the Enspire concept will appear next week at the Beijing Auto Show, which opens on April 25. It'll be interesting to see if the Enspire makes it to North America later this year for the 2018 LA Auto Show.

Cadillac's Twin-Turbo V8 Engine Now Has An Awesome New Logo

But will it appear in more places than just the CT6?

Cadillac surprised us when it decided to reveal a V-Sport version of its flagship CT6 sedan. The CT6 V-Sport was set to be powered by Cadillac's new 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8, producing a whopping 550 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. Cadillac then deemed its new car was sporty enough to forgo the V-Sport badge, changing the name to the CT6-V .

The CT6 will now the be the first of Cadillac's newly-named 'CT' models to receive a V badge. It will also be the first to utilize the company's 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8, nicknamed the Blackwing, which will also be offered in a 500-hp state of tune on the CT6 platinum.

Along with a cool name like Blackwing, Cadillac wanted to make sure it had an awesome logo to accompany it. GM Authority has uncovered what this new logo will look like, along with trademark filings in both the United States and Canada. The logo consists of “two stylized wings comprised of six elongated geometric shapes.”

We expect the logo to appear somewhere on the engine cover, not on the exterior of the car. Interestingly, the logo did not show up when Cadillac first revealed the CT6 V-Sport, as the engine was originally referred to as the LTA.

The Blackwing engine will be hand-built by just six workers, with each motor being assembled by hand. With such a heavy emphasis on exclusivity, we aren't sure what other cars the Blackwing engine could appear in. It seems like a lot of work to go through on GM's part to develop a new engine and a cool new logo, just to use it in a single car.

Cadillac's new V8 could eventually appear in the next-generation Escalade or be borrowed for the rumored mid-engine Corvette. Either way, we doubt we have seen the full potential of the Blackwing engine.
