The Car Upgrades Most People Want. And The Ones They Don't.

AutoPacific surveyed nearly 90,000 recent car buyers. In their Future Attribute Demand Study, they found the little car features we want on our new car. I was a little surprised by some.

1. Heated seats: 66%
2. Blind-spot monitoring: 60%
3. Front and rear parking sensors: 55%
4. All-wheel or four-wheel drive: 54%
5. Lane-departure warning: 54%
6. Apple CarPlay and/or Android Auto: 53%
7. Power front passenger seat: 52%
8. LED accent lights: 52%
9. Ventilated or cooled seats: 50%
10. Memory driver's seat: 49%

And here's the features buyers cared about, but a lot less. The least desirable upgrades are:

1. Augmented reality head-up display: 14%
2. Electronic engine noise enhancement: 13%
3. Ability to purchase things from the vehicle infotainment system: 12%
4. Biometric features: 9%
