Self-parking systems, which first appeared in the 2000s, use the front and rear parking sensors, exterior cameras and clever software to get the job done. And watching a car steer by itself, as if by a ghost, into a tight parking spot is one of the eeriest feelings you can have in a modern car.
On some models, such as the iX, X7 and 7 Series, you can remotely park the car into a tight parking space, or garage, using a smartphone app, without having to be behind the wheel.
Auto Parking Assist is available as standard on the Haval H6 and H6 GT, but only the top-spec Ultra. It’s also available on the Tank 300, but only the top-spec Ultra Hybrid. The electric Ora small car, meanwhile, comes with Auto Parking Assist as standard on the Ultra and GT variants.
Hyundai’s Smart Parking Assist is available on Kona, Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade and the Ioniqs 5 and 6. Hyundai’s system also offers remote parking, like that of Kia and Genesis, allowing you to reverse the car into a tight parking space or garage using the keyfob while outside of the car.
