Car shopping? Here are the brands with best tech offerings

As the access for mobile technology continues to rise in demand, car manufacturers are eager to meet this need. Now, it’s common to see even the basic models come with an array of tech offerings, like Bluetooth capability.

All told, many companies have gone even further to provide vehicles with mobile command centers where you can do everything from answering calls to accessing traffic and navigation information through voice command or by the push of a button.

One of the best ways to view the tech feature landscape is to examine it at the brand-level, where you can compare how a manufacturer’s offerings relate to others in its class.
