Engines | ||||
Transmissions | ||||
Drivetrains | ||||
Tires | ||||

Accessories | ||||
Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | ||||
Unlock and lock the car using buttons on the keyfob. | ||||
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. | ||||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||||
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. | ||||
Mandatory, in all cars. | ||||
Torso-level front row airbags, usually contained in the seats. Many also protect the head, but not as well as side curtain airbags. | ||||
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 behind vehicle. Parking aid. | ||||
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. | ||||
When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||
Cargo Management | ||||
Climate Control | ||||
Maintains set temperature in front row. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||||
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. | ||||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | ||||
Drivetrain | ||||
When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||
Engine / Motor | ||||
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. | ||||
Exterior | ||||
Side skirts and possibly a front air dam and rear apron. | ||||
Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | ||||
Chrome or aluminum mirrors. Only listed if optional or not standard on the base trim. | ||||
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. | ||||
Large spoiler stands well above the trunk or hatch. | ||||
Infotainment | ||||
Jack for an iPod or similar device. No value because of incomplete data. Will soon be standard on nearly every car. | ||||
Enables hands-free communication by wirelessly connecting a cell phone to a microphone and the vehicle's stereo speakers. | ||||
Includes CD player. | ||||
Integrates an iPod with the vehicle's controls and speakers. Usually included if there is a USB port, but can also rely on a proprietary port. | ||||
Audio system capable of playing discs with MP3 files. | ||||
Screen-based navigation system. | ||||
XM or Sirius. Includes a subscription for three to six months, after which monthly fees apply. | ||||
SD, CF, PCMCIA, or other digital media reader. | ||||
In-vehicle security, communications, and diagnostics system. For 2011 and newer cars often includes a remote app. Monthly fee after the first 1-12 months. | ||||
Information about traffic conditions. Monthly fee after first 3-12 months. | ||||
Instruments, Lights, and Mirrors | ||||
Interior rearview mirror automatically dims when hit by headlights of following vehicle. | ||||
Headlights automatically turn on and off. Includes value of automatic-off headlights. | ||||
Reports the amount of boost being provided by the supercharger or turbocharger. | ||||
We haven't given this feature a value because it's hard to tell which cars have it. | ||||
Light wide area close in front of the vehicle. | ||||
Clears ice and fog from mirrors. | ||||
Includes value of non-illuminated vanity mirror. | ||||
Includes value of non-illuminated vanity mirror. | ||||
LEDs cast a soft glow over and/or highlight parts of the interior. | ||||
Front row reading lights. | ||||
Area around the vehicle is illuminated when the vehicle is remotely unlocked. | ||||
Includes value of manual remote mirrors. | ||||
Reports engine speed. | ||||
Reports average fuel economy, and perhaps also instantaneous fuel economy, distance to empty, average speed, and other stats. | ||||
Provide a brighter, whiter light than halogen headlights. | ||||
Seats and Interior Trim | ||||
Real aluminum trim on instrument panel, door panels, and/or center console. Deleted by wood trim even if they appear together. | ||||
Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||
Seat folds to enlarge cargo area. Unless the seat is also removable, it usually folds flat or nearly flat. | ||||
Seating surfaces are trimmed in leather; other upholstery tends to be leatherette. | ||||
Leather beyond the seating surfaces, door panels, and IP top. No additional value over leather upholstery because no way to standardize across all models. | ||||
Lower back support power-adjustable vertically as well as in and out. | ||||
Lower back support power-adjustable vertically as well as in and out. | ||||
Power tilting seat cushion; can take the form of a second height adjustment. | ||||
Power tilting seat cushion; can take the form of a second height adjustment. | ||||
Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||
Seating surfaces are part leather, part synthetic suede. | ||||
No additional value over leather upholstery because no way to standardize across all models. | ||||
Suspension, Wheels, and Tires | ||||
Shocks that electrically adjust their firmness based on sensor readings of the road surface. The driver might also be able to select a \"sport\" setting. | ||||
Same value as regular alloy wheels because no way to compare across models. | ||||
Alloy wheels plated with chrome. Some use a more durable, alternative process (PVD, Superchrome). Replace and include value of regular alloy wheels. | ||||
Varies throttle, steering, ABS, and/or stability control calibration. | ||||
Alloy wheels highly polished to yield an almost chrome-like finish. In the past valued more highly than regular alloy wheels. But the term is used so broadly lately, often meaning that only some of the wheel face is machined, that they have the same defau | ||||
Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||
Transmission | ||||
Electronically controls engine and transmission for perfect launch. | ||||
