Seven of the Best Used Cars With Modern Tech Features

There are many benefits to choosing a pre-owned vehicle over a new one, including a lower price, skipping a lot of depreciation, and having a huge variety of different options to explore. There are also some potential drawbacks. One of the biggest ones that people worry about is missing out on modern features by going with a vehicle that’s several years old. When you come to us looking for used cars for sale near Mason, we’re happy to answer all your questions about our inventory and help you explore the kinds of tech features you’ll find on them. To help you get a head start, we’re going to take you through seven of our favorite picks for a great used vehicle with modern and exciting tech features.

Mercedes-Benz C Class

As you’re looking at different used vehicles with an eye toward great tech features, luxury models are some of the best ones to go for. Luxury vehicles typically have impressive comfort and technology. After all, it’s part of what makes them a luxury class. This tends to age well, and you can find something like a Mercedes-Benz C Class sedan pre-owned with great features inside for you to enjoy. The other benefit is that you also get to save money on such a luxury vehicle, getting all of this great technology while going easier on your budget.

When looking at pre-owned C-Class models, there are many potential vehicles to choose from since this compact car has been around since the 1990s. The fourth generation of the C-Class is a great place to start, which began with the 2015 model year and ran through 2021. A C-Class from 2019, for example, could have the standard seven-inch multimedia display and 5.5-inch gauge screen, or the available 12.3-inch virtual gauge display with a 10.25-inch multimedia screen. Incredible sound systems and wireless charging pads are also available in 2019 models, so you can go pretty far back and still get remarkable features.

BMW 5 Series

Sticking with luxury cars for a moment, BMW is also well known for making vehicles with bold performance, gorgeous styling, and impressive interior features. The BMW 5 Series is a midsize car that’s been available for more than 50 years. We suggest focusing on the seventh generation of the 5 Series, which ran from the 2017 model year through 2023. If you go with a 2021 BMW 530i, for example, then you’ll find a standard 12.3-inch infotainment system with a similar 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster as part of the BMW Live Cockpit system. BMW gave this sedan an update and refresh for 2021, which is part of why this is a particularly exceptional model year to look for and a great way to get fantastic tech in a used vehicle.

Ram 1500

For something a bit different while still getting you some impressive technology, the Ram 1500 pickup is a fantastic choice. Although we’re a Chevy dealership, we can still recognize quality and impressive features when we see them. In this regard, Ram set the standard in recent years for interior features. In particular, we suggest going for a 2019 or later Ram 1500 to get the latest tech features in its fifth generation. (Avoid the Ram 1500 Classic, however, which has the older features from its previous generation.) Although these models can have an 8.4-inch infotainment display, we suggest looking for the available 12.3-inch Uconnect system for enhanced functionality. This can be found with a large driver display and an incredible Harman Kardon sound system, creating a great truck for driving around Mason each day.

Nissan Altima

From the outside, the Nissan Altima is a fairly unassuming vehicle, a midsize car that’s been around for more than 30 years. Nissan is a great choice when you’re looking at used models because they’re a leader when it comes to long-term reliability. They’re also well known for making vehicles that are fun to drive, with great features inside and out. A sixth-generation Altima, which started with the 2019 model year, is a good choice if you want some good technology while sticking to a tight budget. An eight-inch infotainment display is standard in the 2019 Altima, plus you get driver assistance tech like automatic emergency braking. If you want some enhanced features, look for a 2023 or later Altima, when a refresh introduced an available 12.3-inch infotainment screen and more.

Chevy Blazer

Although we are happy to help you find whichever used vehicle best meets your needs, that does not mean we overlook the impressive features and technology that can be found in our Chevy models. The Chevy Blazer is a particular favorite of ours in this regard. First introduced for the 2019 model year, every Blazer model has recent features for you to enjoy. Looking inside a 2019 Blazer, for example, standard features include an eight-inch infotainment display, keyless entry, and push-button start. Higher trims offer upgrades like a Bose premium sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, and more. A light refresh for the 2023 model year makes that a fantastic one to look for pre-owned. A larger 10-inch infotainment system is standard in 2023 models, with great options like a wireless charging pad and more available.

Toyota RAV4

Introduced for the 1994 model year, the RAV4 is a compact SUV that has become one of the most popular vehicles in the world. Toyota is well known for making reliable vehicles that drivers can depend on for a long time, which makes them very popular options when you’re looking for a used vehicle. They can also deliver impressive tech features to enhance their value further and ensure you have a great time when driving around Mason each day. With tech in mind, we’d go with a fifth-generation RAV4, which launched with the 2019 model year with a seven-inch infotainment display and the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver-assistance features as standard equipment. Toyota gave the RAV4 an update for 2023 with an available 10.5-inch infotainment display and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, making that a particularly good one to look for.

GMC Sierra 1500

Another great option, if you’re looking for a used full-size truck with impressive tech features, is the GMC Sierra 1500. With performance comparable to the Chevy Silverado 1500, the Sierra tends to deliver a more refined interior that includes great comfort and tech features for you to enjoy. The fifth-generation GMC Sierra 1500 that launched with the 2019 model year is a terrific choice if technology is at the top of your features list. In particular, a Denali model gets you a premium GMC infotainment system, an eight-inch digital Driver Information Center, and a Bose Premium sound system. The Denali Ultimate Package adds a multicolor 15-inch head-up display and a rear camera mirror to take your truck’s tech features even further. An update for the 2022 model enhances the tech features with an available 13.4-inch GMC infotainment system, 12.3-inch customizable Driver Information Center, and much more for you to enjoy.
