Amazon’s Alexa assistant is spreading like wildfire across the automotive landscape. Recently, Lexus announced it added Alexa connectivity to its all-new ES about a week after Kia said it was doing the same in several of its vehicles. At this point, more automakers seem to be adopting the voice-activated assistant than not. Here, we present every brand currently embracing the AI helper as well as the functions on offer, which can include starting your car, adjusting the heat or air conditioning, and checking the charge level on an electric vehicle. This list is sure to expand, but as of now, here are the cars, trucks, and SUVs where you’ll find Alexa functionality:

BMW and Mini

Models available: All models with BMW Connected or Mini Connected

Description: All vehicles with BMW Connected have been able to integrate with Amazon Alexa devices since 2016 to remotely check the vehicle’s charge state or fuel level, in addition to basics such as turning on the car and cranking up the heat or A/C. BMW Connected customers can also use Alexa to schedule maintenance appointments or check out the travel time to their destination. In mid-2018, in-car, voice-activated Alexa services will be added.

In detail: You won’t need a smartphone to use Alexa in your car when the feature is added, because all BMW models and select Mini vehicles come equipped with a built-in SIM card for cellular connectivity.
