Car technology has been steadily progressing for the
past several years, with automakers putting more and more time into finding the
best infotainment and safety technology. From touchscreen interfaces to
automatic emergency braking and more, a lot has changed in the automotive
world. One of the most fascinating features to come out in the last few decades has been the head-up display (HUD). This bit of tech has been around since the late 1980s on cars - it was first used in military airplanes - but it was very simplistic and only present on a few luxury models.
Today, many models come with the technology, but still many drivers may not be familiar with all the bells and whistles that the new HUD technology offers. On Hyundai, the head-up display comes standard on several models, including the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, the 2015 Equus and the 2015 Sonata. As with past models, the head-up display appears in the driver's line of sight on the windshield and shows everything from speed to navigation. The current head-up displays on Hyundai models also show other relevant information, such as blind-spot detection and lane departure warning. All of this is to ensure that drivers never have to take their eyes off the road, thus avoiding accidents that occur because drivers are distracted.
In the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, the head-up display moves fully out of its older brother's shadow with the introduction of a 7-inch color screen in the instrument panel that shows drivers even more information simultaneously - without ever having to take their eyes off the road. Safety features such as HUD technology have helped earn sedans like the 2015 Genesis top safety ratings, including a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
All three Hyundai models that feature head-up displays are now at Van Hyundai. Stop by today and test drive the brand-new 2015 Hyundai Genesis or 2015 Hyundai Sonata in Dallas to experience this amazing safety technology up close.
