Which car models are equipped with HUD heads-up display?

Car models equipped with HUD heads-up display include BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, Toyota Levin, JMC E200 EV3, and Hanteng X5, among others. The HUD heads-up display, also known as the parallel display system, is a driver-centric, blind-operation, multi-functional dashboard. The HUD heads-up display is featured in many high-end vehicles, capable of displaying car speed and navigation information. With a heads-up display, drivers do not need to divert their gaze to check certain information. Taking the 2021 BMW 3 Series as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4719mm, width 1827mm, height 1459mm, with a wheelbase of 2851mm and a fuel tank capacity of 59l.

Last time I drove my friend's Cadillac CT6 on a long trip, I found the HUD to be a real highway marvel—I could see navigation and speed without taking my eyes off the road. Nowadays, more and more car models come equipped with this feature. Luxury cars like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class have it, and new players like the Xpeng P7 and Li Auto L9 are keeping up impressively. Among domestic brands, flagship models like the BYD Han and Hongqi H9 basically have it as standard. What surprised me most was that even the Toyota Camry, priced around 100,000 yuan, offers an optional version—technology really is becoming widespread. Every time I use it, I feel especially reassured, particularly when driving on mountain roads at night or in rainy weather. No more looking down at the dashboard! This feature is particularly friendly to new drivers, directly reducing the frequency of shifting focus and significantly improving safety.

Last month, I helped my younger sister pick a car with a heads-up display (HUD), primarily considering her safety when shuttling the kids. SUVs equipped with HUDs are becoming increasingly common in the market. For instance, the top-tier Honda CR-V comes with AR real-world navigation, making driving exceptionally intuitive. In the new energy vehicle segment, the NIO ET7 boasts an ultra-large display area that can project road sign reminders and even show the distance to the car ahead during traffic jams. Among traditional fuel-powered vehicles, the high-end Toyota RAV4 hybrid also includes this feature. For those on a tighter budget, the top-tier Great Wall Haval H6 is an option, available for just over 100,000 yuan. I must say this feature significantly alters driving habits—now, driving a car with a traditional instrument cluster feels oddly unnatural. Having driving data follow your line of sight is far more intuitive, especially when glancing at your speed while rushing for a green light in the city.

Recently tested over a dozen cars with HUDs and found significant differences between brands. BMW's projection position is higher, which is comfortable for prolonged viewing. The Audi A6L's windshield-type display offers the richest content, even superimposing speed limit signs directly on the road. Among new energy brands, the Leapmotor C11 stands out for its generous features, offering AR navigation at just 120,000 RMB. It's highly recommended to test drive before purchasing—some domestic cars list HUDs on their specs but have insufficient brightness, with daytime glare so severe it's like the feature isn't even on.

As a tech enthusiast, I'm fascinated by AR-HUD technology. Driving the XPeng G9, which projects navigation arrows directly onto real lanes, makes lane changes effortless. In luxury cars, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class features a massive HUD with 3D effects, though it costs an extra 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Recently, I discovered that the Zeekr 001, priced at just over 200,000 yuan, now includes a snow mode after an upgrade, turning digital displays blue in snowy conditions. These projection-equipped models share a common flaw: the windshield needs frequent cleaning, as fingerprints and smudges are highly visible. Perfectionists should keep a microfiber cloth in the car.

Two years ago, I specifically chose a Camry with HUD as my commuter car, and it unexpectedly became the most frequently used feature in the vehicle. I’ve noticed that besides luxury brands, mainstream family cars like the Volkswagen Tiguan L Pro and Nissan X-Trail have now adopted this technology, with even the budget-friendly Chevrolet Trax RS offering a basic display. The most practical aspect is the continuous display of speed limits on highways, helping to avoid speeding tickets. I highly recommend opting for a model with height adjustment—my 1.8-meter-tall friend complained that the information was blocked by the steering wheel when driving my car. Aftermarket HUDs often suffer from ghosting issues, making the factory-integrated units far more reliable.
