This driveline is managed by a computer to provide torque to the wheels that need it most. The result is an all-wheel drive system that’s able to react to road conditions, so your car gives you the ideal handling every time.

Looking at the Honda Accord though, we do find that this car provides a standard Traffic Sign Recognition system. This feature utilizes a camera to monitor signs along the road to provide you with speed limit information with a small icon.

The Nissan Altima provides us with a very secure drive with the available ProPILOT Assist feature. This system works with your Intelligent Cruise Control feature and your Intelligent Lane Intervention feature to provide you with a guided driving experience. You’ll enjoy a very relaxing trip when you’re equipped with these available features.
