If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, but aren’t sure where to start, consider these essential aspects through the duration of your search:

Standard and Available Technology

With the advancement of safety technology in the newest cars, why not take advantage of it? Many brands offer a variety of driver assistance and safety technologies, often combining them into a full-on safety suite. If you’re particularly wary about driving on the highway, parking in tight spaces or navigating the city, check which safety technologies are included in your vehicle of choice.

Additionally, infotainment centers in today’s vehicles can elevate your experience behind the wheel – with popular software like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto including navigation, audio streaming, as well as hands-free calling and texting, you can safely stay connected with the proper tech.

Seating and Cargo Capacity

This may be a no-brainer, but seating and cargo capacity may depend on what specific model you choose. Make sure that the vehicle and trim level you have your eye on has the proper amount of space to accommodate your passengers (like if you need a third-row seat) and belongings alike.

Gas, Hybrid or Electric?

The automotive landscape is changing, with EVs and hybrid vehicles becoming more and more prevalent. If you’re considering an EV, accessibility to public charging may be a deciding factor. For example, it may be better to go electric if your local city or town has the infrastructure for various public charging stations.

Hybrid vehicles are great for those who want to reap the benefits of efficiency while not going fully into the EV realm. If you stick to the traditional route of gas only, take a look at the fuel efficiency of your prospective car, truck or SUV to see if it aligns with your preferences. 

How Does It Drive?

While even the best research can provide great insight, there’s no better test than driving the vehicle yourself. If you’ve been endlessly reading or watching videos on a particular model, take it for a spin yourself by scheduling a test drive with one of our Tom Ahl dealerships.
