Collision Avoidance technology

Forward Collision-avoidance Assist Monitors the surroundings while driving. The system will brake the car automatically if the vehicle in front stops abruptly, or if there is a risk of colliding with a car, pedestrian, or cyclist.

Dynamic torque vectoring

Dynamic torque vectoring enhances safety by precisely distributing power to individual wheels. This optimises traction and stability, especially in challenging conditions like wet or slippery surfaces.

Smart Cruise Control

Smart Cruise Control uses radar sensors and a camera to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle directly ahead. While a trio of anti-collision systems constantly scans for pedestrians and oncoming vehicles at intersections.

Stay in your lane

Lane Assist systems work to detect road markings along with other vehicles on the road, and then assist in keeping the vehicle centred on the road.

Reverse in safety

Rear Cross-traffic Collision-avoidance Assist alerts the driver if a car is approaching from the left or right while pulling out in reverse. It helps to brake the car automatically if the risk of colliding increases even after sounding an alarm.
