What are the safety trends and features for 2013?
Q-We are in the market for a new vehicle and top of my list in importance is safety. Are there any new or updated safety features car buyers should look for in 2013?
A-Actually, there are quite a few features you will want to consider that not only make your drive more comfortable, but much safer. Let's consider a few.
If you drive for long distances, you will want to look for zero gravity seats which are designed to reduce stress on the back. The seats reduce the spinal and muscle loads and encourage blood flow.
The next safety upgrade worth your attention is Backup Collision Intervention. This system uses radars fitted to the left and right rear of the car and can detect approaching vehicles, people, or objects in the vehicle's path that would prevent safe back-up.
Another superb safety improvement is the front center-mounted airbag you'll see on some Buicks, GMC, and Chevrolet model vehicles. This feature provides extra protection for the front passenger as well as the driver in a side-impact crash or rollover.
Next, and one of my favorite features, is the new hands-free text-messaging technologies such as the one in the 2013 Nissan Altima sedan. This feature reads text messages aloud and lets the driver respond through voice command or one button preset message such as "late" or "on my way".
Each of these new safety features will not only make driving more comfortable, but may also help reduce accidents. Clearly, today’s vehicles are far more advanced than cars made just 10 years ago, which means that many consumers will find these changes intriguing and welcome.
