At the end of this article, you will be able to make a decision and get a better understanding of features that are absolutely crucial to have in 2024.

1 Electronic stability program

ESP or electronic stability program is an important safety feature which helps in controlling a spin out situation when a car is under harsh braking. It senses individual wheel speed and detects understeer and oversteer conditions working in conjunction with ABS and traction control systems.

2 Head rests and three-point seatbelts for rear passengers

Head rests and three point seat belts are crucial for passenger safety. Head rests protect the occupants head from whiplash whereas seat belts secure the occupants on the seats in case of an impact.

3 Power-steering

Having a powered-steering is one of the most important features to have in 2024. It greatly assists one's driving. When electronically assisted it allows for much lesser physical effort to be put in when maneuvering a vehicle.

4 Central locking with engine immobiliser

Another important safety feature in a vehicle is central locking with engine immobiliser function. Central locking allows all doors of the vehicle to be locked and unlocked at the same time. This helps ensure that none of the doors are left unlocked by mistake leading to potential theft. The immobilizer prevents the engine from starting in the event of unauthorized entry.
