Besides, the Co-Pilot360 brings safety gear brings hill start assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot information, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, and reversing camera with a built-in lens washer.

You'll just enjoy your car without a 2nd row heated seats, a B&O sound system with 980Watt 14 speakers, a wireless charging pad, and some other similar features.
