What's the Infotainment System Featured in New Ford SUVs?
In the new 2021 Ford Escape, Explorer, Edge, Expedition, Bronco, Bronco Sport, and every other new Ford SUV, you'll have the option to upgrade to the new Ford SYNC® 3 infotainment system. The SYNC® 3 infotainment system is designed to allow you to enjoy a connected and controlled experience behind the wheel and features many integrated features.
With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can seamlessly connect your mobile device via Bluetooth or using a USB cord. Once connected, you can control calls, messages, apps, music, maps, and much more using a large touchscreen display or using voice commands, allowing you to enjoy a familiar menu setup and control all these features with the touch of your finger or simply by saying the words.

You can use it through the SYNC® 3 system and have access to navigation, Amazon Prime, Traffic information, your at home devices, and much more so you can always stay connected wherever your travels take you around Corpus Christi.
What Other Technology Features Are Offered in New Ford SUVs?
If you want to avoid the clutter of wires, you can take advantage of a wireless phone charging pad in new 2021 Ford models like the Edge, Explorer, and others. With a wireless phone charger, you can simply set your phone down on the pad and let it charge without the need for wires.
What Driver Assistance Features Are Offered in New Ford SUVs?
Every new Ford SUV will offer either a standard or available Ford Co-Pilot360™ system. The Ford CoPilot360™ system is a suite of driver assistance technology features that allow you to drive with greater confidence knowing that your vehicle is looking out for you every time you get behind the wheel. For example, on the new 2021 Ford Explorer, you'll get a standard Ford CO-Pilot360™ system, featuring helpful driving aids like:
- Blind Spot Information System: a system that alerts you if there's a vehicle in your blind-spot while trying to change into another lane
- Rear View Camera: A camera in the back of your vehicle that displays your surroundings on the touchscreen display in your vehicle, allowing you to back out and into spaces with greater confidence.
- Automatic Emergency Braking: This feature will warn you if it detects a potential collision ahead. If you fail to apply the brakes on time, the system will automatically apply them for you.
- Lane-Keeping System: If you start to drift out of your lane without a turn signal on, the system will adjust your steering to keep you safely within your lane.
