Top Auto Industry Trends for 2023
It’s always exciting looking towards the future for what’s to come, and when it comes to vehicles, there are several emerging trends to get ready for. These are some of the top automotive industry trends we’re seeing emerging in Subarus for 2023 models and beyond.
Enhanced Connectivity
Our lives are more connected than ever thanks to technology, so why shouldn’t our cars fit into our lives the same way? Every year, cars offer more technologically advanced connectivity features, like Subaru’s STARLINK multimedia center. Most 2023 Subaru models come equipped with a touchscreen that’s compatible with Wireless Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto for seamless connectivity. You can even get a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot right in your vehicle, or connect remotely through the MySubaru app.
Online Car Shopping
Even here at Twin Falls Subaru, we’re seeing an increase in online car sales, and it’s a trend that’s gaining traction nationwide. Buyers love the convenience of online browsing at home or from their smartphones, allowing them to make a more informed decision when it’s time to sign the papers. You can check out all the specs and features of each vehicle on our website, then schedule a test drive and get pre-approved for financing before you come visit us.
More Used Vehicle Sales
As the mass shortages and shipping delays come to an end, we’re still seeing an increase in demand for pre-owned vehicles. There can be a lot of value in used vehicles, even as production and manufacturing are ramping back up for the new year. Certified pre-owned vehicles give you the value of buying used with the added assurance of thorough inspections and additional warranties.
Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Production
It’s no secret that hybrids and EVs are gaining popularity, and car manufacturers are keeping up. Subaru alone has the Crosstrek Hybrid and upcoming Solterra EV. As we plan for an electric future, driving EVs and hybrids are becoming more normalized, especially as charging stations pop up around the country. Keep an eye out for news about future hybrid and electric vehicles from Subaru!
Autonomous Driving Technology
While we might be several years away from self-driving vehicles, the technology is rapidly developing in the form of various driver assist features like Subaru’s EyeSight. Driver assist is proven to reduce collisions and mitigate distractions with surround-view cameras and escalating alerts to keep you on the right track. Even though it’s not fully autonomous, drivers are starting to rely on pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle management, and adaptive cruise control for a safer drive.
