Which cars have cruise control?

Vehicles equipped with cruise control are typically automatic transmission cars. The method to use cruise control is as follows: 1. Locate and press the cruise control button on the steering wheel; 2. When the car reaches the desired cruising speed, press the set button downward; 3. After setting the cruise control speed, you can press the button upward or downward to fine-tune the cruising speed; 4. While using cruise control, it is essential to remain vigilant and monitor road conditions at all times. The function of the cruise control system is to maintain the vehicle's speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed.

To be honest, I've driven many car models and found that cruise control was first introduced on the 1958 Chrysler Imperial, which was a luxury feature back then. But with technological advancements, it's now available on almost all new cars, from affordable domestic models like the Geely Emgrand or Great Wall Haval H6 to mainstream brands like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. The compact SUV I recently rented had it, making long highway drives effortless without constantly pressing the accelerator. Some older models, like those before 2005, might lack it, but vehicles produced after 2010 generally have it as standard or optional. The widespread adoption of this feature is due to the affordability and efficiency of automotive electronic systems. During regular maintenance, it's also important to check the sensors to ensure safe usage. In short, when choosing a modern car, over 90% come with cruise control.

As a young urbanite, I always check the specs sheet when buying a new car, and cruise control is super common. It used to be seen only in Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but now even domestic cars around 100,000 yuan like the BYD Song Pro or Kia K3 come with it as standard. The Japanese sedan Nissan Sylphy I test drove last year had this feature—just press a button to maintain speed on the highway and avoid tickets. Entry-level electric models like the Wuling Hongguang MINI might not have it, but mid-to-high-end versions like the XPeng G3 with adaptive cruise control are even better. Car manufacturers are making this a basic selling point. If you're on a tight budget, the used car market likely has post-2015 German or Korean models with it. Check the user manual before buying to confirm the feature works.

The cruise control in our family car is very practical, making long trips with kids much more convenient. Most mid-range cars now come equipped with it, like the Ford Focus or Hyundai Elantra, which can maintain a steady throttle on the highway. I've noticed that some compact cars, such as the Toyota Vios, also offer it as an option. In terms of safety, maintaining a constant speed reduces the likelihood of fatigue-related accidents. The activation button is usually on the steering wheel, making it simple and easy to use. If opting for a used car, models from 2008 onwards are more likely to have it.
