| 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. | ||||||||
| Mirror-mounted lights indicate when another vehicle is in a blind spot. | ||||||||
| When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||||||||
| Ceramic composite brake rotors. | ||||||||
| Alerts driver when approaching the preceding car too quickly. | ||||||||

| Rearview camera connected to display screen on the instrument panel. Often requires navigation system. | ||||||||
| Airbags contained just above the window level. Except in cars without a rear seat usually cover first and second row. | ||||||||
| Selectively applies the brakes to prevent excessive understeer or oversteer (spinning). | ||||||||
| 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 | ||||||||
| Actively splits power between the left and right rear wheels, which generally yields sportier handling. | ||||||||

| When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||||
| Engine / Motor | ||||||||
| Automatically cuts off the engine when the vehicle is stopped and restarts it when the driver lifts off the brake pedal. Not listed for hybrids, where it is generally part of the powertrain system. | ||||||||
