The sensation and thrill of driving is perhaps unparalleled and incomparable to any other feeling known to mankind. Yes, it’s a bit exaggerated. But not all of us can afford the types of luxury and feature-bedazzled gadgets that come with luxury cars on the market. We do however, have the power to take out a car loan or even lease the car of our dreams for a more economic way of “owning” the most decked out car that we so desire.

With technology advances these days, gadgets and luxurious features in cars have imploded into the market. Luxury car manufacturers waste no time in implementing these new features into future designs. Read on to find out the best luxury car features.

We all have been guilty of multitasking while driving. Whether it be answering the phone, changing radio stations, eating a snack, or all of the above, it is apparent that driver distraction is an issue that must be addressed. Technologies are being developed to help drivers keep both hands on the steering wheel and their eyes fixated on the road while still being connected to electronics inside the vehicle. These may be accessed with the press of a convenient button on the steering wheel, or displayed on an LCD screen with control switches. Ease of access is key with this kind of technology. The LCD screen display allows the driver or passenger to personalize digital information that can be utilized via voice command or touch screen gestures.

Another great feature to keep your eyes peeled for involved blind spot intervention, a very handy tool that can even save you in fender bender situations and life threatening circumstances. Blind spot intervention features in new cars is an advanced safety feature that increases visibility through use of a camera in front of the rear view mirror. While the camera detects lane markers using radar, it senses the presence of other objects and cars near your proximity. As a warning light flashes, a sound is also audible, warning you that you’re close to other cars. At the last stage, braking may be automatically applied, guiding the driver back to the centre of the lane safely, and away from harm.

A feature you may not have heard of is inflatable seat belts. While this feature is more popular for those consumers who have frequent children and older passengers in their vehicle, this can also be a great safety add-on for anyone, as it provides even more protection against head, neck, and chest injuries that would occur during a crash. Designed to function exactly like a traditional seatbelt, these inflatable seat belts spread the impact of a collision over five times more over your body, are more comfortable, and should reduce pressure while helping to control head and neck jerking in the event of a collision.

With all these advanced features, it’s a good idea to lease a vehicle with these add-ons to see if you would like to dish over the extra capital to buy one. While not all of us are lucky to have enough economic means for ownership of a car with all these great features, we still have the option of taking a car loan and financing our new dream cars that way.
