Best Back-To-School Features from Buick and GMC

Summer break is coming to an end and that means back to school. It also means back to soccer games, art projects, bake sales, and so much more. Going back to school is a stressful time for many families and if you have the wrong vehicle, it can make it that much worse. That’s where Buick and GMC can help you make a smooth transition back into the school year. Features like fuel-sipping powertrains, fatigue-reducing safety features, and ample space for all of your needs can reduce the stress of going back to school. 

Safety

When your family is involved, safety is the most important feature you can have. Standard features like an impact-resistant chassis with designated crumple zones to protect passengers, and ample airbags work to protect your loved ones in the event of an accident. However, many Buick and GMC features are working behind the scenes to keep your family from ever needing those features. Buick and GMC offer a suite of driver assistance features that can step in and prevent an accident. Drivers will enjoy the forward collision warning, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and front pedestrian braking.

Fuel Efficiency

The biggest thing about going back to school is the amount of “going” your family will be doing. Errands, extracurricular activities, more trips to the store for supplies really add up. Thankfully, Buick and GMC have your wallet in mind. To keep extra stops at the pump to a minimum, Buick and GMC implement fuel-saving technology into its powertrains. With features like variable valve timing, direct injection, auto stop/start, fuel-sipping engines, and perfectly geared transmissions work together to keep you on the road longer. 

Spacious Interior

Is it just us, or does it feel like as soon as school starts, your vehicle gets a little smaller? With carrying around gear for sports, art projects, backpacks, gym bags, and more, space becomes a valuable commodity when school is back in session. Buick and GMC have designed all of their models to optimize interior space and comfort. Even in the smaller Encore and Terrain, you’ll have room to stretch your legs and carry everyone’s stuff too. For drivers who need to maximize space, the Yukon and Enclave offer 122 cubic feet and 97 cubic feet respectively. Premium seating promises outstanding comfort after long days and hours of traffic jams every week. 

Productive Technology

Managing your time is a chore itself, especially during the school year. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and wireless charging keep you connected from anywhere. Stay on top of tasks, emails, messages, calls, and more. Buick and GMC Connected Services keep you connected to your vehicle for remote start, car location, roadside assistance, and more. Alexa Built-In on many models gives you access to Amazon services like Prime Music, navigation, weather updates, and connection to your smart home devices. Get Amazon packages delivered to your vehicle with Key by Amazon, which is available to Prime members in select cities. 

Preparing for the school year can seem daunting but Buick and GMC can make it easier. Whether you need more space or want the technology to make you more productive, the Heritage Chevrolet Buick Owings Mills team can pair you with the perfect model for your family.
