The Selec-Terrain feature is a traction management system that complements the vehicle's all-wheel-drive powertrain. To adapt the vehicle to challenges in different scenarios, this system offers four modes with most trims (Auto, Sand/Mud, Sport, and Snow), though, in the rugged Trailhawk model, it adds Rock mode to tackle more demanding terrains.

Parking with the Compass is both fun and convenient with the available Parallel and Perpendicular Park & Unpark Assist features. After choosing an available parking spot, you can activate this feature and watch it steer the vehicle into the space while you still control shifting, braking, and accelerating.

6. An Expansive Sunroof for All

While many other vehicles come with a conventional sunroof, this one offers an expansive dual-pane panoramic one. This sunroof not only opens over the front row but also in the second row, allowing everybody in the cabin to stargaze on warm nights or feel a cool, flowing breeze on sunny days.
