As we move through 2025, Australian drivers are experiencing a transformative era in automotive technology. From enhanced safety systems to intelligent connectivity and eco-friendly innovations, the latest car features are designed to make driving safer, smarter, and more sustainable. Here’s a look at the top advancements reshaping the Australian driving experience and how Auto Leaders can help you maintain them.

Advanced Safety Systems

1. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
Starting March 2025, all new vehicles in Australia must be equipped with car-to-car AEB under the ADR 98/00 regulation. This technology automatically applies the brakes to prevent or reduce collision severity.

2. Reversing Cameras & Sensors
Mandatory for all new cars from November 2025, reversing cameras and sensors help prevent accidents when backing up.

3. Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS)
Electric vehicles will be required to emit sounds at low speeds to alert pedestrians.

Intelligent Connectivity

4. AI-Powered Voice Assistants
With AI systems like Google Gemini in Android Auto, you can safely interact with your vehicle hands-free.

5. Enhanced Infotainment Systems
Automakers are expanding infotainment capabilities with improved interfaces.

Eco-Friendly Innovations

6. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and similar models offer dual power and energy-saving features. Regular servicing at Auto Leaders helps maintain battery life and overall system health, maximising your EV or hybrid’s performance.

7. Expansion of Electric Vehicles (EVs)
With a growing range of EVs in Australia, Auto Leaders is proud to provide tailored EV servicing, including battery system checks, software diagnostics, and general maintenance.
