In-car Entertainment

• Wireless audio streaming - Strike the cord. With wireless streaming, the endless library of music on your mobile device is available through your vehicle's sound system! Make a playlist befitting of your road trip as it rolls along; let the back seat passengers control the selection; catch up on your favorite podcasts. With wireless audio streaming, all you have to do is press play.
• External memory control - Digital access anywhere. Your media of choice doesn't have to stay behind just because you're going somewhere. Now, music and media from your hard-drive, devices or memory stick are easy to access and control from your vehicle, thanks to the external memory control.

Powertrain and Mechanical

• Variable valve timing - Change your output. There are a lot of variables in your drive, so why should your engine always operate the same? With variable valve timing, the engine is efficient at both low and high RPM's, so you get better fuel efficiency, cleaner emissions and improved performance. Variable valve timing provides a better drive, every time.
• Inline-4 engines produce adequate horsepower while typically offering better fuel efficiency and more economical maintenance than larger engines.

Safety and Security

• Hill hold control - Don't go back. You know the feeling - you're stopped on a hill and you're worried about your vehicle rolling backwards when you release the brakes. This is even more worrisome when you're towing. With hill hold control, the vehicle automatically applies brake force to prevent itself from rolling back. So whether you're towing a heavy load or simply stopped on a steep incline, hill hold control keeps you on the up and up.
• Electronic stability control - Helping you stay grounded. By monitoring and comparing vehicle dynamics to driver input, this system acts instantly to help control the vehicle if it loses traction. It engages the traction control and anti-lock brake systems if skidding is detected, and it may even react well before you're aware of a loss of traction. With electronic stability control you can stay on the road ahead.
• Brake assist - Stop right there. Something jumps out into the middle of the road and you need to stop now! With brake assist, you will. It uses the speed of the brake pedal's travel to sense panic braking, then applies all available power to boost your stopping power. Brake assist can stop the accident before it is one.
• Manual rear child safety door locks - Keep it all inside. Manual rear child safety locks help prevent a kid's fidgets from becoming a big problem. Because if kids can touch it, they want to play with it, and that includes door handles and locks. When enabled, the safety locks stop the doors from being opened from the inside. Manual rear child safety door locks replace mistakes with peace of mind.

Technology and Telematics

• Wireless connectivity - Strike the cord. Wireless technology makes it easy to place calls without having to fumble with your phone. It integrates your device with the system inside your vehicle for hands-free access. Keep connected and keep your hands on the wheel with wireless connectivity.
