Hyundai Cars w/ Adaptive Cruise Control (All 15 Models)
Previously exclusive to luxury vehicles, adaptive cruise control has become commonplace in many mainstream cars, including Hyundai cars.
The following Hyundai cars, SUVs, and trucks have an adaptive cruise control system.
Check the corresponding tables to see the relevant model years when the system became available.
Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Cruise Control
The first iteration of the more-basic cruise control system in older Hyundai models helps the vehicle maintain a steady speed, ideal for highway cruising.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) enhances the conventional system by adjusting the car’s speed to match the vehicle ahead, slowing down and speeding up when appropriate.
Newer Hyundais have SmartSense, a network of safety and tech features that includes adaptive cruise control.
Rival mainstream car makers that produce popular models with ACC include:
- Toyota vehicles with ACC.
- Nissan vehicles with ACC.
- Honda vehicles with ACC.
- Kia vehicles with ACC.
- Volkswagen vehicles with ACC.
- Ford vehicles with ACC.
