| 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. | ||

| Unlock and lock the car using buttons on the keyfob. | ||
| Operate the power windows, sunroof, and/or convertible roof using buttons on the keyfob. | ||
| Greatly reduce the amount of sunlight entering the rear side windows. Retract into rear doors. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Small external cameras provide a top-down view all around the vehicle, to reduce blind spots while parking. | ||
| If collision detection system senses imminent collision, applies moderate braking. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Beeps signal distance to object in front of vehicle. Parking aid. | ||
| Beeps signal distance to object behind vehicle. Parking aid. | ||
| 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 | ||
| Torso-level second row airbags, usually contained in the rear door. Some also protect the head, but not as well as side curtain airbags. | ||
| Deploys extended duration side curtain airbags when the vehicle rolls over. Usually included on tall vehicles. Rare on others. | ||
| Automatically applies brakes when the car is hit to prevent it from hitting a second object. | ||
| 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). | ||
| Select electronic chassis control settings for a specific terrain type. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Automatically applies a front brake to counteract sway induced by a trailer. | ||
| Additional features for stability control, such as performance calibration. | ||
| Wide angle camera allows the driver to see well to each side from the very front of the car when pulling out of parking spaces or side streets. | ||

| Provides heat for an extended period of time after the engine has been cut off. | ||

| Drivetrain | ||
| When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||
| Engine / Motor | ||
| 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. | ||
| Valves open in the exhaust at high rpm and/or during brisk acceleration, for power boost and/or richer sound. | ||
