Modern Ford vehicles are more tech-savvy than ever before. When you’re out and about on your daily driving tasks, you’re extremely well-supported, entertained, and protected in your Ford. Here are a few of the best tech features Ford has to offer today, and if you’d like to see more, you can always ask at your nearest Ford dealership.

Wireless Phone Charging

While driving, your Ford is generating a steady voltage of electricity. Why not make use of that to charge your phone whenever you get behind the wheel? Simply place your phone on the central charging pad, and your car will start recharging its battery automatically.

Seamless Smartphone Connectivity

While charging your smartphone, you can also have it seamlessly connect to your car. Modern Ford vehicles are compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Once connected, you can access almost all of your phone apps from your car’s large center-stack touchscreen. Make calls, send messages, post on social media, play music, listen to podcasts, or even watch movies and play games when safely parked. And if you like, all of this can be controlled with voice commands using built-in Amazon Alexa technology. 

Bang & Olufsen Sound System

If you enjoy music while driving, you’re in for a treat with the optional high-grade Bang & Olufsen Sound System. With ten speakers and a powerful subwoofer carefully placed around the cabin, you have immersive, crystal-clear surround sound. Voices from music, movies, or podcasts will sound like the speakers or singers are sitting in the cabin beside you. 

Ford CoPilot360 Safety Suite

You’re also protected in a modern Ford car by the fantastic selection of safety features included in the Ford CoPilot360 suite. Among these sophisticated safety systems, you have Pre-Collision Assist, Blind-Spot Information System, Cruise Control, Evasive Steering Assist, Lane-Keeping Assist, Auto High-Beam, and more. Whatever manner of collision threat you come across, your car is designed to avoid or at least greatly mitigate the possible harm. 

Precision Park Assist Systems

One of the most practical technological features in a modern Ford car is Active Park Assist 2.0. Never again will you have to fear tight parallel parking spots, dreaded reverse-perpendicular maneuvers, or returning to your car to find someone else has boxed you in. 

When you activate Active Park Assist 2.0, your car takes over the entire parking maneuver for you, no matter how tricky it is. Your car steers, shifts gears, brakes, and accelerates as required in precise movements until you’re safely parked or escaped from a tight spot. All you need to do is hold down the button and watch the magic happen.
