Tech That Helps: Exploring the Suzuki Across Hands-Free Power Liftgate
There are a variety of different benefits and troubles of living in the Caribbean, from wrangling the kids after a day at the beach, to running to your car during a sudden downpour. A vehicle that really helps handle island life is the Suzuki Across, an impressive hybrid with a striking design. However, sometimes the most beneficial aspects of a vehicle are the most simple, such as the Across' hands-free power liftgate. This isn't just a luxury add-on, but a practical tool that makes loading up your vehicle for errands or big trips a breeze.
The "Full Hands" Solution
Have you ever walked up to your car with an armful of groceries or luggage, only to drop your belongings while trying to shift them in your hands? The Across' power liftgate has a motion-activated sensor near the trunk so you can open it up with a quick wave from your foot, preventing dropped bags and broken eggs.
For added peace of mind, the sensor only works when it detects your smart key fob nearby, so you never have to worry about a stray dog or passerby accidentally opening your trunk.
Space and Safety for the Whole Family
Opening the trunk easily is fantastic, but having the room to store your life's adventures is just as important. Once that liftgate swings open, the Across reveals a highly spacious cargo area perfect for sliding in bulky items like beach chairs, oversized coolers, or luggage. And because wrangling kids and pets is a daily reality, the liftgate is equipped with an anti-pinch safety feature. If it detects resistance while closing, like a stray hand or an oversized bag jutting out, it automatically stops and reverses, keeping your family and your belongings safe.
Beating the Elements and Keeping Clean
After a weekend drive out to the country or otherwise needing to navigate through wet roads during the rainy season, the back of an SUV can collect a lot of grime. The hands-free feature means drivers never have to touch a dirty tailgate with clean hands, or otherwise risk getting mud on their work clothes. This also allows for lightning-fast loading to quickly get out of sudden rainstorms.
Smart Adjustability For Island Carports
Many Caribbean homes have low, covered carports or driveways with low-hanging branches. Fortunately, with the Across, you can set a custom maximum opening height, removing the stress of parking in tight spaces and ensuring the trunk stops where you need it to every time.
