ESCORT, a leader in advanced radar and laser detection technologies, has launched the new MAX 4 radar detector, enhancing the ESCORT MAX product line. The MAX 4 is designed to offer a worry-free driving experience with double the false alert filtering accuracy of its competitors, an extended detection range, and inclusion in the Drive Smarter community, which provides real-time traffic alerts from other drivers.
The introduction of the MAX 4 comes at a time when, according to an ESCORT survey, more than 40% of US drivers have been pulled over for speeding within the last five years, with the majority citing inattention as the cause. With increasing insurance premiums and the widespread use of automated traffic enforcement, there’s a growing need for devices that enhance driver awareness and prevent costly tickets.
Jonas Forsberg, CEO of Cedar Electronics, the parent company of ESCORT, highlighted that the MAX 4 is not only for car enthusiasts but is also a valuable tool for everyday drivers. Its high accuracy in filtering false alerts ensures that drivers are only notified of relevant threats, enhancing focus and safety on the road.
Key features of the MAX 4 include advanced AutoLearn Intelligence that adapts to ignore false alerts repeatedly from the same locations, LNA technology that increases sensitivity for longer range detection, and compatibility with the Drive Smarter app, allowing users to share and receive traffic alerts. The device also integrates seamlessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, projecting critical alerts directly onto the vehicle’s infotainment system.
The MAX 4 is available for purchase at $399.99 on escortradar.com and bestbuy.com, and it will be available in Best Buy stores nationwide by this summer. For those looking to upgrade, ESCORT offers an online trade-in program accessible through their website.
