New and Upcoming Technologies

Chevy cars are becoming safer, smarter, more efficient, and more connected. Technological hurdles that once seemed insurmountable are becoming a reality. Smith Motors is here to tell you all about the latest and greatest Chevy technologies. Make sure to stop by Chevy Hammond for new and used vehicle purchases, leasing, trade-ins, servicing, and more.

EV Technology

Chevy is utilizing General Motors’ unique high-voltage, fast charging Ulitum battery pack. With this high-powered battery, their newest Silverado EV has an estimated 400 miles of range along with a 350-kW fast-charging system. Chevy offers two fast-charging systems: Level 2 charging and DC fast charging. The level 2 charging system charges at a rate of 39 miles of range per hour of charge. Comparatively, the DC fast-charging system receives up to 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes. With fast charging technology and higher-powered batteries, owning an electric vehicle is more convenient than ever.

Entertainment and Connectivity

Staying connected and entertained on your long daily commutes are vital. From communication to navigation to entertainment, Chevy lets you do it all. Their infotainment system features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity along with in-vehicle apps and SiriusXM with 360L. Not to mention, the built-in Alexa integration lets drivers use voice commands to play their favorite songs, access their Amazon account, and even activate their smart home devices.

Safety Technology

There’s no doubt that Chevy offers some of the safest cars in the world. Here are some fun Chevy facts: many of the top 2022 fan favorites scored an NHTSA’s coveted five-star overall safety rating, such as the Trax, Trailblazer, Equinox, Camera, and mid-sized Blazer. It’s all due to their advanced safety package, which includes:

 

  • Automatic emergency braking and forward collision alert: Reduce the chance of forward collision and automatically brake when getting too close to a vehicle.
  • Front pedestrian braking: Warns you and automatically breaks as you draw close to pedestrians.
  • Lane departure warning and lane-keep assist: Keeps you in the center of the lane.
  • Following distance indicator: Maintains a safe driving distance between you and the vehicle ahead.

 

One of Chevy’s most advanced features is their Super Cruise, driving assistance technology. It allows drivers to operate hands-free and drive autonomously. Combined with LiDar map data, vehicle sensors, and cameras, the car can drive to your destination with ease. Not to mention, it uses adaptive cruise control technology to maintain a safe driving distance and will accelerate or brake based on traffic conditions.
