Kia fans know the brand has some of the coolest tech features for the money. Most models are packed with modern tech at every trim level. Get up to speed with these six smart features you’ll find when you visit your local Kia dealer.
1. Smartphone Integration
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you access all your smartphone apps from your dashboard. You can stream your favorite podcasts at the push of a button and have Siri or Alexa read your messages with hands-free voice commands. It all takes place on the expansive touchscreen you’ll find on your Kia’s dash. Many models even come with a 12.8-inch screen.
2. Kia Connect
Through this app, you’ll have a ton of cool features at your fingertips. You can control an array of vehicle settings through your smartphone or tablet, including climate and device charging. Forgot where you parked? No problem since you can set up Find My Car on Kia Connect.
More importantly, though, Kia Connect has important built-in security tech. You can lock and unlock your vehicle at the push of a button. The app also assists with stolen vehicle recovery and offers a rear occupant alert to remind you about quiet children and pets riding in the backseat.
3. Automatic Emergency Braking
This type of smart tech stops your Kia when you get too close to another vehicle – or a cyclist or pedestrian. Forward collision warning and avoidance assistance is standard on many current models as part of Kia’s suite of Drive Wise features.
4. Smart Cruise Control With Stop and Go
You’ll enjoy a relaxing drive on the highway with the help of Kia’s Smart Cruise Control. Another component of Drive Wise, it keeps you at a safe distance from the car in front of you. If someone slams on the brakes, your vehicle will stop automatically as needed and will even start again within 3 seconds when it’s safe to do so.
5. Connected Routing
This cool Kia navigation system helps you get where you’re going faster, whether it’s around the corner or across the country. It uses real-time traffic data to find the best possible route and enhance the accuracy of projected arrival times.
6. Kia eServices
You can truly make your Kia your own with this personalized system, which lets you schedule service for your vehicle. You can also create a custom map to save your favorite locations in any city, so you’ll never forget the name of that great cafe or pizza place. You can also set alerts for certain drivers with My Car Zone. Parents with teens can create speed limits and curfews to keep them safer as new drivers. These smart Kia features showcase the brand’s attention to innovation, safety and driver experience. You can try them all out when you call Kelly Automotive today to schedule your test drive.
