On the streets of our cities you can meet cars manufactured 5, 10 and more years ago. Even those that have celebrated their tenth anniversary look modern. But time dictates its own rules and new requirements are imposed on modern vehicles. From our article you will learn what kind of car can be considered truly modern.

Modern automobile: main features
Most of them are relevant at all times, but at the modern stage, they are taken more seriously:
-reliability;
-cost-effectiveness;
-safety;
-comfort.
Reliability of a car is one of the main selection criteria, because "a car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation". Technology and experience are important here. Probably, that is why everyone strives to own cars of famous brands, which have a strong base for developing new technologies and producing quality products.

Cost-effective - this is not only related to optimizing personal expenses, but also to the desire to reduce the burden on the environment.
Safety - the presence of driver assistants and developments that reduce the number of accidents. Caring for the safety of the driver and passengers, as well as pedestrians, is one of the main directions of work of modern automobile companies.

Comfort - cars are used as commercial transport, for long journeys, so the level of comfort should be such that the driver and passengers stay in good physical shape for as long as possible. Ergonomics, quality finishing materials, special technical solutions are important here.

Top 5 most modern cars
As an example, we bring you a mini-review featuring five modern cars:
-Tesla Model S
-Mercedes-Benz S-Class
-BMW i8
-Audi e-tron
-Maserati MC20

Tesla Model S
Production of the Tesla Model S started in the spring of 2012. Since then, the exterior of the electric car has been completely updated. The car is available in four configurations: Standard and Long Range, as well as Perfomance and its extended version Performance Ludicrous. It is equipped with a powertrain with an output of 382-762 hp and can drive up to 643 km on a single charge. The maximum speed that the Tesla Model S can reach is 250 km/h, and it accelerates to 100 km/h in 2.7-3.8 seconds.

The car is very maneuverable, which is important in a busy city traffic. The turning radius is 5.7 meters. At high speed, the driver and passengers will feel very comfortable, because the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance of the car is 0.24. If you buy a used car, we recommend to check the VIN-code of the car in Italy before the transaction. You can use the service on a free and paid basis.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

A leader in the automotive industry in terms of innovations. One of them that has emerged in recent years is the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) system. This is a unique learning digital complex with elements of artificial intelligence. Thanks to it, everything in the interior has become even more digital. Changes have been made to both hardware and software components. Driving the vehicle has become even easier and more comfortable.
The voice assistant is available on every seat. Passengers can activate it with a special app to learn and communicate. The system can recognize passengers by voice, which allows it to be used for individual functions. There is also a special 3D mode for spatial viewing, the basis for which are two built-in cameras.

BMW i8

A hybrid car in a coupe body, which belongs to the class of sports cars. The maximum speed is 250 km/h. It is equipped with a six-speed gearbox and all-wheel drive. A two-door cabriolet version is also available, but the coupe with five seats and four doors is still more versatile.
The hybrid is equipped with a powertrain with a total output of 374 hp. In sport mode, it can accelerate to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. Fuel consumption is 4.5-5.5 liters per 100 km.

The interior looks futuristic, while retaining the corporate style. A large three-spoke steering wheel is installed, with controls for additional functions on the spokes. Behind the steering wheel there is a large digital panel, and on the center console there is a huge touchscreen display for navigation and multimedia system control.

Audi e-tron
Premium vehicle released in 2018. It is an all-electric crossover with a drag coefficient of 0.25 to 0.28 - depending on the body version. It is equipped with innovative DMD LED headlights. Inside the headlights there is a block with a large number of micro-mirrors, which under the influence of electromagnetic field can change their inclination with a frequency of up to 5000 times per second. In this way, the light beam can be changed to project a picture or animation.

The electric car is equipped with two asynchronous three-phase electric motors. In the standard configuration, the car is equipped with a powertrain of 313 hp. If desired, a special mode can be activated, which increases the power to 408 hp (the period of operation of the mode - up to 8 seconds). Maximum speed is limited to 200 km/h, and it takes 5.7 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h. Depending on the version, the range is from 336 to 436 km.
Maserati MC20

A very striking car that impresses even more when viewed from the rear. The main elements that catch the eye at the rear are the signature trident on the rear window, stylish LED lights, round exhaust pipes and a massive diffuser.

The Italian two-door auto is equipped with 20-inch wheels with a ventilated brake system. Carbon-ceramic wheels are available as an option.
