Cars With Advanced Safety Systems

Cars With Advanced Safety Systems Need a new car? Then consider one with active safety systems. Manufacturers are building cars with systems that can help you avoid or mitigate a crash in all sorts of situations, such as closing in on another car too quickly, changing lanes into an unseen car in a blind spot, or simply backing out in a busy parking lot. Key active safety systems include: Forward-collision warning, with or without auto brake, should be on top of your new-car wish list. Backup cameras are becoming increasingly common. They are highly recommended. By 2018, they will be standard on all cars. Blind-spot warning and rear-cross traffic majority are commonly bundled together, and they are well appreciated among CR staff. Lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist can help keep the car on the right track, helping limit those times when the car may wander. Once sold on the concept of these active safety systems, there remains the challenge in interpreting each manufacturer’s offerings, each with their own unique name, and then figuring out which trim and/or option is necessary to get the gear. To help, we’ve compiled a table which details what advanced systems are available on models offered by car manufacturers. If the safety system is available as an option or if it means moving up a trimline to get the system it is listed as “opt,” meaning optional.   Car Models and Advanced Safety Systems Choose a car manufacturer from the drop down list to see which safety features are standard (“Std.”), optional (“Opt.”) or not available (“N/A”) for its models.
