Driver-assistance features (including Autopilot) like automatic emergency braking, collision warning, and lane-keeping assist are standard on the Model 3 sedan.

That, paired with the CX-5's attractive design as well as its impressive safety ratings (it has great IIHS crash test scores), affords the CUV much of the praise that people are saying.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

High-end models such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class luxury sedan possess both sophistication and comfort along with driver-assistance safety features which help protect those in them from harm. But of course, it will also benefit from Mercedes-Benz's Intelligent Drive suite-active brake assist, evasive steering assist, and attention assist.
