• Lane departure
• Automatic temperature control
• Emergency communication communication system
• Exterior parking camera rear.
• Exterior parking camera is not available.
• Front dual zone A/C.
• Apple CarPlay can be spotty at times and won't connect properly. I have found that as long as I wait until everything has started up before plugging in my phone it works good.
• The B&O speakers sound fine but I could not tell a difference between any other car stereo I've ever had. Also the heads up display is a neat gimmick but it's just above the instrument cluster that displays all the same info. It will display driving directions but only if you use Ford navigation. It does not interact with CarPlay.
• The interior materials really do appear cheap, lots of plastic everywhere. Other than the accent panel that runs through the middle of the dash and a few pieces of leather on places you rest your arms on, it's all plastic.
• Adaptive cruise control works really well and I like that I can set the follow distance. Be careful on the highway, while trying to overtake with adaptive cruise active your vehicle may suddenly brake because of a semi or other slow moving vehicle up ahead. This has happened to me a few times and can be dangerous and unnerving if you drive aggressively.
• Parking assist is a cool feature and works as advertised most of the time. I've had a few instances where it tried to cram into too small of a spot and just stops after backing halfway in.
• High beams can be set to auto as well. So you can turn on auto lights and auto high beams and never touch either again, ever.
• Ford Connect is an app you can download on your phone allowing you to remote start from the app. The app also displays lots of vehicle info, including tire pressure. With remote start, the climate control will default to where it was last set.
• Exterior trim scratches easily so be careful where you lean.
