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. | ||||||
Mandatory, in all cars. | ||||||
Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||||
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 | ||||||
Above floor system for organizing cargo. | ||||||
Climate Control | ||||||

Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | ||||||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | ||||||
Drivetrain | ||||||
Actively splits power between the left and right rear wheels, which generally yields sportier handling. | ||||||
The center differential can be manually adjusted to vary the torque split front to rear. | ||||||
When one front wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||
When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||

Light wide area close in front of the vehicle. | ||||||
Clears ice and fog from mirrors. | ||||||
Front row reading lights. | ||||||
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 | ||||||
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. | ||||||
