| 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. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| Selectively applies the brakes to maintain a slow, steady descent on off-road downhill slopes. | ||||||
| Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | ||||||
| Alerts driver when the vehicle seems to be wandering out of the lane. | ||||||
| Rearview camera connected to display screen on the instrument panel. Often requires navigation system. | ||||||
| Deploys extended duration side curtain airbags when the vehicle rolls over. Usually included on tall vehicles. Rare on others. | ||||||
| Airbag inflates under leading edge of seat cushion to prevent the passenger from sliding forward. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||||
| Cargo Management | ||||||
| Can adjust cargo floor to maximize space or to create a floor level with the folded seats (and hidden storage beneath it). | ||||||
| Hitch rated for up to 5,000 pounds. Capacity of the vehicle could be lower. | ||||||
| Usually part of an overhead console. | ||||||
| Includes side rails and crossbars. | ||||||
| Requires roof rails. Together constitute a roof rack. | ||||||
| No crossbars. | ||||||
| Includes seven-wire harness, necessary for larger trailers. | ||||||
| Climate Control | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| Vents at aft end of center console, in B-pillars, and/or in ceiling. | ||||||
| Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
| Exterior | ||||||
| Protective cladding extending partly onto the doors. | ||||||
| Protective cladding extending partly onto the doors. | ||||||
| Moldings on the bodysides, to protect against door dings in parking lots. | ||||||
| Scoop on the hood, often not functional and purely decorative. | ||||||
| Flaps mounted behind two to four wheels, to protect the body from mud and rocks. | ||||||
| Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | ||||||
| Prevent underbody damage when off-roading. | ||||||
| Used to connect the vehicle with another, so one of them can tow the other out of the mud. | ||||||
| Extensions to the wheel opening, both decorative and protective. | ||||||
| Infotainment | ||||||
| Touchscreen and/or voice control over apps that can include online search, Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, OpenTable, and MovieTickets.com. Requires connected compatible phone. Fees may apply after first three years. | ||||||
