Like the midsize Mazda CX - 9, the CX - 5 will move upscale with a higher trim line and get updated driver assists, such
as adaptive cruise control becoming full - range.
Not exact matches
But certain autonomous features will
become commercially available in the coming years, such
as adaptive cruise control, hands - off lane following and automatic braking.
But there are some oddities in the features list: The base SXT doesn't have a backup camera or parking sensors — really, on something this big, it's pretty much a must - have — while blind - spot monitoring, which is increasingly
becoming standard on many vehicles, was only added to my top - line trim
as part of a $ 1,450 package that also added
adaptive cruise control, forward emergency braking, and lane - keeping assist.
This
control also extends to optional systems such
as the
adaptive suspension
control system Audi magnetic ride,
adaptive cruise control,
adaptive light and progressive steering whose steering gear ratio
becomes increasingly more direct when turning.
At this level though, we were a little surprised at some of the omissions from the XF's standard gear: The R - Sport lacks a few of the things
becoming common once the $ 100k line is crossed, including
adaptive cruise control, lane - keep assist (the errant driver just gets a warning), blind - spot sensor, rear cross-traffic alert, brake - assisted
cruise control, LED headlights and internal niceties such
as head - up display, digital radio, seat heating / cooling.
