| Drivetrains | ||||||||
| Tires | ||||||||
| Audio Systems | ||||||||
| Accessories | ||||||||
| Powers devices with a regular home electrical outlet. Limited wattage: forget about using it to power a blow drier. | ||||||||
| Automatically maintains set distance behind preceding vehicle as well as set speed. Can bring vehicle to a complete stop then accelerate back up to set speed. Replaces regular adaptive cruise control, and includes its value. | ||||||||
| Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | ||||||||
| Liftgate can be opened and closed using buttons inside the vehicle and on the keyfob. | ||||||||
| Enter and start the vehicle without removing the key from your pocket. | ||||||||

| Unlock and lock the car using buttons on the keyfob. | ||||||||
| Start the car using a button on the keyfob. Interior can be a comfortable temperature as soon as you get in. | ||||||||
| Automatically steers the vehicle into a parking space. Driver operates the transmission, and sometimes also the brake and accelerator. | ||||||||
| Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||||||
| Homelink. | ||||||||
| Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||||||||
| Rear disc brakes. | ||||||||
| If active, automatically move forward when the vehicle is rear-ended. Note: becoming less common. | ||||||||
| Only listed when pricing a single model because insufficient data for all cars. | ||||||||
| Automatically pulse the brakes in hard stops to prevent wheels from locking up, making it possible to brake and steer at the same time. | ||||||||
| If collision detection system senses imminent collision, applies moderate braking. | ||||||||
| Automatically brakes car to avoid low-speed collisions. | ||||||||
| Mirror-mounted lights indicate when another vehicle is in a blind spot. | ||||||||
| When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||||||||

| Warns of traffic coming from either direction when vehicle is in reverse, to prevent accidents when backing out of parking spaces. | ||||||||
| Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||||||
| Alerts driver when approaching the preceding car too quickly. | ||||||||
| Mandatory, in all cars. | ||||||||

| Beeps signal distance to object behind vehicle. Parking aid. | ||||||||
| Prepares brakes (and sometimes also seat belts) for use when radar detects an imminent collision. Might also move seats and close windows. Early Lexus system used laser. Since automatic braking became common it has been unclear which models have this feat | ||||||||
| Rearview camera connected to display screen on the instrument panel. Often requires navigation system. | ||||||||

| Selectively applies the brakes to prevent excessive understeer or oversteer (spinning). | ||||||||
| Select electronic chassis control settings for a specific terrain type. | ||||||||
| Two types: a warning light when a tire is low on air and a pressure readout for each tire. | ||||||||
| Uses the brakes to channel torque to the outside wheels and counteract understeer. Similar to stability control, but proactive, and acting to improve cornering performance rather than prevent loss of control. | ||||||||

| Drivetrain | ||||||||
| When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||||
| The center differential can be manually locked using a button. Only for use at low speeds on loose surfaces. Engaging low range (where available) usually locks the center differential automatically. | ||||||||
| The rear differential can be manually locked using a button. Only for use at low-speeds on loose surfaces. | ||||||||
