| Cancels out interior noise by playing the opposite noise through the vehicle's speakers. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Accelerator presses back when system detects an inefficient excess of acceleration, to train the driver to drive more efficiently. Can be turned off. | ||
| Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | ||
| Enter and start the vehicle without removing the key from your pocket. | ||

| 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. | ||
| Selectively applies the brakes to guide vehicle back into the original lane when detects that a lane change will cause a collision with a vehicle in the blind spot. | ||
| Mirror-mounted lights indicate when another vehicle is in a blind spot. | ||
| When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||
| Alerts driver when approaching the preceding car too quickly. | ||
| Mandatory, in all cars. | ||

| Brakes lightly applied to help prevent the vehicle from inadvertently traveling out of its intended lane. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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 | ||
| Usually part of an overhead console. | ||
| Usually concealed behind a stowed armrest. Enables long items like skis to be carried without folding the rear seat. | ||
| Climate Control | ||

| Ionizes air to clean it. Might create high levels of ozone. | ||
| Wipers automatically turn on and adjust their speed based on input from a rain sensor. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Drivetrain | ||
| 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 | ||
