In addition, you can always check official crash‑test results on the NHTSA and IIHS websites.
Key safety features include: ✔️ Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection ✔️ Standard lane‑departure warning with lane‑keeping assist ➕ Available blind‑spot monitoring and rear cross‑traffic alert
