Buick Lets You Super Cruise

July 26th, 2023 by

The idea of taking your hands off the steering wheel seems counterintuitive. However, with Super Cruise, you have the most advanced hands-free driver aid of any technology in production today. For 2024 the Buick Envision will get this incredible option that will allow you to relax and enjoy the ride ahead. 

Envisioning The Future

The 2024 Buick Envision will be one of the first Buick products that will let its customers option and experience the best hands-free system in Super Cruise, which allows the driver to take their hands off the steering wheel and relax a little bit, only needing to perform basic functions, such as using the turn signal stalk in order to tell the system you would like to change lanes. You must keep your eyes on the road ahead, though, as the system will warn you and then disengage if you aren’t paying attention. 

The Future Is Now

NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) classifies Super Cruise as a Level 2 autonomous technology. While it is not 100% autonomous, as it still needs the driver to maintain attention with the possibility of re-taking control of the vehicle, it is regarded as the safest and most effective autonomous vehicle system currently on the market. General Motors test drivers and engineers have covered more than 400,000 miles of roads in the United States and Canada where Super Cruise is able to be utilized, you can rest assured that it has been well tested before any car has been sold to the public. 

By the end of this year, Super Cruise will be a feature on 22 General Motors vehicles. 

A Worthy Purchase

Featuring a 2.0-liter Turbocharged Inline-4 that produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the Buick Envision comes standard with Front-wheel drive or All-wheel drive as an option. With the rear seats upright, you have 25.2 cu.ft. of cargo space, and with them folded, you get a total of 52.7 cu.ft.
