Research Safety Features
What are vehicle features?
A feature is an enhancement of a vehicle included by an automaker to add overall accessibility, comfort, or experience. Some higher-end trim levels cost more than others due to the customization involved.
Is a feature the same as an accessory package?
A feature is a variation of a vehicle with a customization or modification made to it, while an accessory package is a list of features or vehicle add-ons that the customer can add at the time of sale. Features are produced by the manufacturer, while accessory packages may often involve third-party products.
