| Accessories | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| Check on car and remotely control various functions (remote start, locks, lights, and/or HVAC) from a telephone or computer. Can require a monthly fee. | ||||||
| Can turn on air conditioning system remotely using the key fob, to cool down the car before getting into it. Some also enable this with heat. | ||||||
| Unlock and lock the car using buttons on the keyfob. | ||||||
| Remote start the car using a phone-based app. Complimentary for at least three years. | ||||||
| Automatically steers the vehicle into a parking space. Driver operates the transmission, and sometimes also the brake and accelerator. | ||||||
| Homelink. | ||||||
| Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||||||
| Rear disc brakes. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| Ceramic composite brake rotors. | ||||||
| Warns of traffic coming from either direction when vehicle is in reverse, to prevent accidents when backing out of parking spaces. | ||||||
| Applies the brakes to a slipping drive wheel to transfer torque to the other side, simulating the effect of a limited-slip differential. We haven't identified all applications, often implied by traction control. | ||||||
| Alerts driver when approaching the preceding car too quickly. | ||||||
| Mandatory, in all cars. | ||||||
| Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | ||||||
| Beeps signal distance to object in front of vehicle. Parking aid. | ||||||
| Beeps signal distance to object behind vehicle. Parking aid. | ||||||
| Warns driver of pedestrians in path of car. | ||||||
| Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||||
| Cargo Management | ||||||
| Climate Control | ||||||
| Automatically recirculates interior air when pollution is detected in outside air. | ||||||
| Maintains set temperature in front row. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||||||
| Temperature can be separately set for left and right sides of the passenger compartment. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||||||
| Layer within windshield creates heat, quickly melting ice on the windshield. | ||||||
| Augments resistive electric heater. A much more efficient source of heat when the outside air is above freezing. | ||||||
| Filters exterior air before it enters the passenger compartment. No default value because most cars have them, even in cases where they're not in the official list of features. | ||||||
| Wipers automatically turn on and adjust their speed based on input from a rain sensor. | ||||||
| Provides heat for an extended period of time after the engine has been cut off. | ||||||
| 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 | ||||||
| Double level charger, faster charge times with 220V source. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| Allows for quick charging to 80 percent capacity at 440V charging stations. Using such chargers frequently might degrade the battery. | ||||||
| Valves open in the exhaust at high rpm and/or during brisk acceleration, for power boost and/or richer sound. Valves can also be opened with a switch. | ||||||
| Changes sound of exhaust and/or appearance of the tips. In some cases might slightly improve performance. | ||||||
| Exterior | ||||||
| Additional spoiler feature (value on top of spoiler type). Rear spoiler can lower to reduce drag or rise up and/or tilt to increase downforce. | ||||||
| Side skirts and possibly a front air dam and rear apron. | ||||||
| Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | ||||||
| Strong and light, but could be very expensive to repair. | ||||||
| Reduces weight. | ||||||
| Spoiler mounted beneath the nose of the car, to increase downforce. | ||||||
| One or more glass panels in the roof that cannot be opened or removed. | ||||||
| Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | ||||||
| Spoiler extends automatically at high speeds. Otherwise flush with body. Can be manually extended and retracted. | ||||||
| Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||||

| Enables hands-free communication by wirelessly connecting a cell phone to a microphone and the vehicle's stereo speakers. | ||||||
| Audio system capable of playing DVDs on a front-row screen. Inoperative when the vehicle is moving. No value because of incomplete data. | ||||||
| Touchpad that interprets handwritten inputs. | ||||||
| High-definition radio, which broadcasts a digital signal. Free, no subscription fees. | ||||||

| Activate Siri using button on steering wheel. Make calls, hear and dictate texts and email, manage calendar, turn-by-turn nav. Requires iPhone 4S or higher. | ||||||
