Cars that come with HUD include: 5 Series Li, Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 508, Audi A6, Audi A7, Lexus GS, and Land Rover Vision concept car, among others. HUD is a head-up display system that can show car speed and navigation information. With a head-up display, drivers don't need to shift their gaze to check certain information. Taking the 2019 Peugeot 3008 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4435mm, width 1840mm, height 1652mm, and a wheelbase of 2613mm. The 2019 Peugeot 3008 is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 167PS, maximum torque of 245Nm, and maximum power of 123kW.

Nowadays, many cars come with HUD (Head-Up Display) directly installed, eliminating the need for aftermarket additions, which is very convenient. In the luxury car segment, the coverage is quite comprehensive. For example, most configurations of the 3 Series and 5 Series come with color projection as standard. The high-end versions of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class also feature augmented reality HUD, and the top-tier Audi A6 can even display navigation arrows directly. Among domestic brands, the Lynk & Co 03++ includes HUD as standard from the second-lowest trim, while the top-tier BYD Han also comes with it. In the Great Wall series, the Tank 500 offers HUD as standard across all trims. For Japanese brands, the high-end Lexus ES includes HUD, and the Acura RDX comes with it in all trims. I find it most practical for highway driving, as it eliminates the need to look down at the instrument panel, significantly improving safety—especially during night driving, which becomes much more effortless.

When it comes to new energy vehicles, HUD (Head-Up Display) is becoming increasingly common. The new versions of Model S and X come with it as standard, and the high-performance Model 3 also features it. The NIO ET7 includes it even in the entry-level version, with an exceptionally large display area. The high-end version of the XPeng P7i comes with AR navigation projection. The Zeekr 001 includes it in all models except the base version. Traditional brands are also transitioning well, with the BMW iX3 offering it as standard across the range, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT version also featuring it. Friends who enjoy racing games might particularly love this design, as information is projected directly onto the windshield, creating an immersive driving experience.

The HUD configuration for family cars priced just over 100,000 yuan has also caught up. The top-end Haval H6 Guochao Edition comes with a head-up display, while the Xingrui Premium model also features a basic HUD, and the Changan UNI-T Sport Edition includes it as standard. Among joint-venture cars, the high-end variant of the new Mazda 3 Axela comes with it, and the top-end Nissan X-Trail also includes it. In practical use, displaying speed and navigation is sufficient, but it's advisable to confirm whether it's factory-installed when purchasing, as some dealers might try to pass off aftermarket devices as original. Be sure to adjust the brightness in strong sunlight, as glass reflections can affect visibility.

Actually, HUD has now become a standard feature in high-performance cars. The 911 series comes with full-color projection as standard, no optional upgrade needed; the BMW M4 and M8 project exclusive battle mode info directly onto the windshield; the Mercedes-AMG GT displays ultra-clear track data; and the Audi RS series even supports G-force display. Among Japanese performance cars, the high-end Subaru WRX features a dual-projection system. Enthusiasts in the tuning community all know that factory integration is far superior to aftermarket installations—the projection is perfectly positioned on the windshield right in the driver's line of sight, a level of integration that tuning shops simply can't match.

In recent years, SUVs have almost universally promoted HUD as a key selling point. Among luxury brands, the Discovery Sport comes standard with it across all trims, while the Volvo XC60 includes it in higher configurations. The top-tier Volkswagen Teramont X offers exceptionally clear projections. In the domestic market, the Li Auto L9 features a large AR-HUD as standard across all models, displaying so much information it can replace the instrument cluster. The high-end trim of the Hongqi HS7 boasts an ultra-wide projection. It's advisable to test-drive these models to experience the HUD firsthand, as the display quality varies significantly—some appear blurry or glaring, while others look as if they're floating directly on the road. Note that the effect may diminish in rainy conditions.
