StarStarStarStar

Prevents wheels from locking up during braking, ensuring steering control is maintained during an emergency stop.

StarStarStarStar

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

StarStarStarStar

Detects and reduces loss of traction to prevent skidding or spinning out by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels.

StarStarStarStar

Night Vision System

StarStarStarStar

Provides enhanced visibility beyond the reach of headlights by using infrared or thermal imaging to detect objects in the dark.

StarStarStarStar

Whiplash Protection System

StarStarStarStar

Seat design that limits neck movement during a rear collision, reducing the likelihood of whiplash injuries.

StarStarStarStar

Traction Control System

StarStarStarStar

Minimizes wheel spin during acceleration by automatically adjusting the power output or engaging the brakes.

StarStarStarStar

Blind Spot Detection

StarStarStarStar

Sensor-based system that alerts the driver to vehicles in adjacent lanes that may not be visible in side mirrors.

StarStarStarStar

Seatbelts

StarStarStarStar

Restrains passengers during a collision, preventing ejection and reducing impact injuries.
