START DRIVING HANDS-FREE WITH SUPER CRUISE DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY

If equipped, Super Cruise®* is an available driver assistance technology that allows hands-free driving on compatible roads. While you’re using the feature, it helps prompt you to pay close attention to the road so you’re ready to take control.

  • Super Cruise on 25MY and older vehicles

Available on select 2026 and 2027 Super Cruise-equipped models
