5 of the Most Unique Car Features for 2025
Just when we thought a refrigerated armrest cooler was the ultimate feature a vehicle could have, we are proven dead wrong. Innovation is key in the automotive industry, and whether those innovations are related to safety, comfort, or convenience, there's no question that some features were the result of some very deep thinking. There are certainly automotive features almost no one uses, but there are some that make us applaud based on their sheer brilliance. For 2025, there are unique features, both real-world practical and highly technological, that change the entire experience of vehicle ownership. Here are five of the most unique car features for 2025.
The Hummer's revival brings back the massive ethos of the military-to-civilian beast to the 21st century with the exclusively plug-in electric power of the 2025 GMC Hummer EV in pickup and SUV variants ($99,045). Not only is it opulent and powerful, but it's also almost balletic when spaces shrink. The colossal Hummer EV sometimes needs help in tight quarters. Thankfully, GMC engineers came up with a special four-wheel steering system known as CrabWalk, which enables all four wheels to turn in the same direction by up to 10 degrees. Some vehicles have four-wheel steering, but the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels for tighter turns. The Crab Walk feature allows the Hummer EV to move diagonally without altering the angle of the body. This makes navigating tight trails or cramped urban spaces with remarkable agility a breeze for something this big. It works at a maximum of 1.2 mph, so don't think of threading the needle between two minivans on the highway. Learn more here.
Oh, to live the convertible life. It's wonderful when it's warm and sunny, but not so much when the temperatures drop. Mercedes makes it possible to not look (or feel) like a shivering fool with the top down thanks to its brilliant Airscarf and Aircap that are standard in the 2025 CLE-Class Cabriolet ($66,450). The Airscarf is located in the backrests of the front seats, blowing warm air through the headrests. The nozzles can be adjusted up or down to accommodate occupants of different heights, and they automatically adjust based on interior temperatures, exterior temperatures, and the speed at which the car is traveling. It combines with the Aircap, a system that utilizes two wind deflectors, one on the trailing edge of the windscreen that can be extended at the touch of a button, and a second automatic wind deflector between the head restraints in the rear. It reduces turbulence and keeps the warm air in the cabin. Together, the system extends the top-down season and almost justifies the extra cost of the Cabriolet style. The Aircap can also be used in hot weather to keep the cabin cool when the top is down. Learn more here.
Midway through the year, Volvo refreshed its XC90 ($59,745) three-row mild hybrid steed with updates to its front fascia, as well as an updated dashboard, better sound-deadening, revised suspension tuning, and a new 11.2-inch infotainment screen. The brand remains all about safety with numerous innovations. Case in point, their ingenious Integrated Child Seat. This isn't some new feature, as Volvo created its first one in 1990 and modified it in 2007 to accommodate the varying heights of children. Moreover, the seat is meant to eliminate the risk that seat belt slack creates when using a separate aftermarket booster seat. Just pull it up from the adult position, and it locks into place. There's no extra equipment required, and it easily retracts for grown-ups. More carmakers should implement this brilliant idea. Learn more here.
There are good car seats, and then there are great ones. The 2025 Lincoln Navigator Black Label ($116,495) has standard 30-Way Perfect Position Seats that are easily the latter. Since everyone's body is different, the Perfect Position Seats' level of customization can accommodate just about anyone. Inspired by executive office and private jet seats, Perfect Position Seats are aptly named. There are two sections on the seat upper, one that supports the shoulders and the other that provides suspension for the back. The power thigh bolsters are divided into right and left sections that can be extended, raised, and lowered individually. The bolsters for the shoulders, back, and cushion can also be adjusted separately. The power headrest can even move up/down as well as forward/back. Lincoln also includes heating and ventilation, as well as the Active Motion customizable massage feature. These are the car seats that you'll never want to get out of. Learn more here.
The 2025 Rivian R1T ($69,900) is one of the most innovative pickup trucks, and not just because it's fully electric. The R1T provides up to 420 miles of range on a full charge and as much as 1,050 horsepower from four electric motors. But it's more than just an electric powerhouse; it's a storage master. Due to the lack of a transmission tunnel like gas vehicles, the R1T makes use of its space with a Gear Tunnel Storage section that opens up both sides of the vehicle to 11.7 cubic feet of separated storage. It's 65 inches long, watertight, and even has a rubberized high-traction lining, so you can store muddy and sloppy gear without fear of messing up the cabin. It also features 120V and 12V ports, LED lights, and compartment doors that can hold 250 pounds for convenient seating. Learn more here.
These special car features, both standard and optional, are excellent examples of innovative thinking in the automotive industry. While none of these five features is required to properly operate a vehicle, they're fantastic to have. From retractable booster seats to pass-through gear storage, these ingenious features change the car ownership experience for the better. We can't wait to see what carmakers will think of next.

The GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Is Off-Roading on Easy Mode: Review
Quick Specs 2025 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition Engine Turbocharged 2.7-Liter Inline Four Output 310 Horsepower / 430 Pound-Feet Ground Clearance 12.2 inches Base Price / As Tested $67,030 / $70,350 Pros: Great Design, Solid Infotainment, Unmatched Off-Road Capabilities Cons: Buzzy Powertrain, Spare Tire Impedes Bed Space, No Physical Headlight Switch GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Overview: No Compromise Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 For most adventurers, the AT4X is the ideal GMC Canyon. It comes standard with some serious equipment, including front and rear differential locks, rock sliders, and all-terrain tires. For occasional off-roading, it's more than capable enough. But there are a select few buyers who want even more. Something they know will be able to traverse virtually any terrain and climb any obstacle. For them, there's the AT4X AEV Edition . American Expedition Vehicles, or AEV, outfits this top trim with even more equipment to ensure a worry-free journey. In addition to all the standard AT4X upgrades, the AEV model gets skid plates for the rear diff, transfer case, and gas tank, along with 17-inch beadlock-capable tires wrapped in giant 35-inch tires, paired with specific fender flares. There are new metal bumpers and a bed-mounted spare added to improve approach and departure angles. In other words, all the stuff you could possibly want for an off-road vehicle, save for a winch and some flood lights. Engine & Drivetrain: A Torquey Four-Cylinder Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 There's only one engine to choose from with the AT4X AEV Edition: a turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four making 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. It's paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case offering high- and low-range gears for rock crawling. Drivers can choose between 2WD high, 4WD high, or 4WD low. There's also an Auto function that can switch between 2WD and 4WD, depending on drive mode and road conditions. The engine is almost diesel-like in its power delivery, with lots of punch down low. Redline is just over 6,000 rpm, though you'll never get near that in normal driving conditions. The meat of the power is between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm, and the eight-speed does a good job of keeping the engine there, whether you're cruising on the highway or creeping up a rocky hill. There's a bit more buzz in the cabin than I'd like, though it's tough to expect a truck that looks like this to be incredibly quiet or refined. Technology & Infotainment: As Good As GM Gets Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 The GMC Canyon comes standard with an 11.3-inch touchscreen paired to an 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster. Our tester also came with a $3,050 Technology Plus package, which includes a head-up display and an upgraded Bose audio system. That package is worth the money. It includes accessories like a power sunroof, adaptive cruise control, and something GM calls HD Surround Vision. That unlocks a 360-degree camera, allowing you to see exactly where the truck is placed on a trail. It's also useful if you street park often, as the front camera can show you precisely how much space you have between your bumper and the other car. The Canyon still uses the company's older infotainment system. In this case, that's a good thing. Even with GM shifting away from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Canyon's older system uses an Android-based operating system with wireless CarPlay connectivity. It's easy to use and responds quickly to inputs, and after a brief setup, it connects seamlessly to my iPhone. Climate controls have been left to physical buttons—another refreshing touch. Sadly, stuff like the headlights and traction control can only be adjusted via the screen. Passenger & Cargo Space: What You'd Expect From the Segment Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 Despite its wide stance and brawny looks, the AT4X AEV Edition is just as tight inside as the normal Canyon. The front row is snug, but there's plenty of adjustability in the seats and the steering wheel to accommodate all body types. The rear seats have adequate legroom, but the upright backrests mean bigger children and adults might become uncomfortable after an hour or so. For quick jaunts around town, it works. Bring some pillows if you're planning a road trip. Like every Canyon, the AEV Edition gets a 5.5-foot bed, for a total cargo volume of 41.9 cubic feet. The only difference here is the spare tire, mounted in the bed to improve ground clearance underneath. Suffice it to say, it drastically reduces the bed's usefulness. But as you can see, I still managed to squeeze eight tires into the space. You just have to be creative. Driving Impressions: Pretty Damn Excellent Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 When I drove the first Colorado ZR2 back in 2017, I knew GM had a winner on its hands. This AT4X AEV Edition is simply an evolution of that formula. Thanks to the black magic of Multimatic's DSSV dampers, the Canyon rides amazingly on the road and absorbs virtually any bump you throw at it. The truck does this without feeling wallowy or floaty—in fact, it's even pretty sporty. Yet, when you take the AEV Edition off-road, it performs even more valiantly. Small bumps are ironed out entirely, while bigger imperfections are light—the truck just letting you know they're being conquered. And despite an inherent tightness in the setup, there's enough articulation to crawl over more challenging terrain. The two-speed transfer case and lockable differentials allow drivers of all skill levels (even lowly auto journalists) to traverse smoothly over any sort of obstacle. Water crossing, rock faces, mud pits, you name it. All I had to do was press some buttons, then drive forward. The truck did all the work. And I was having a blast. All of this capability doesn't come totally without compromise. Those huge tires aren't exactly the best for on-road handling or braking performance, and they make a lot of noise at highway speeds. But if you're buying something as extreme as this, you probably already know that. Fuel Economy: Expectedly Average The tires also don't help when it comes to efficiency. The GMC Canyon AT4X AEV Edition is rated at 16 miles per gallon city and 16 highway, for a combined rating of 16 miles per gallon, according to the EPA. That's 4 fewer MPG versus a normal Canyon. If you want something more efficient, consider a different hobby, because efficiency and off-roading don't usually mesh. Payload & Towing: Not a Work Truck The normal Canyon is well-equipped to handle big payloads and lots of cargo. But the AEV's reworked suspension and drivetrain throw a wrench into the formula, trading off tradesman capabilities for off-road prowess. As such, the AEV Edition carries a maximum payload of 1,250 pounds, and a max towing capacity of 5,500 pounds—390 and 2,200 pounds less than the normal truck, respectively. Pricing & Verdict: Expensive But Worth It Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 Our tester carried an as-tested price of $70,350. That's a lot of money for a mid-size truck. But a bargain relative to what you'd pay to a lesser Canyon with equivalent aftermarket parts. So we're not terribly upset with the price. That being said, the AEV Edition is only worth it if you plan to off-road often. Otherwise, you'll be better off with the standard AT4X, which starts at $58,720. It's cheaper, more economical, and for many, the most rational choice. Competitors Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison Ford Ranger Raptor Nissan Frontier Pro-4X Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro 2025 GMC Canyon FAQs Does the GMC Canyon have a V-8? The GMC Canyon does not have an available V-8. You can't even get a V-6, actually. The only engine available is a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four making 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Can the GMC Canyon tow? Yes, the 2025 GMC Canyon can tow a decent amount. The most capable versions are rated at 7,700 pounds of towing capacity—plenty for a race car and a trailer. Off-road focused models, like the AT4X shown here, are rated a bit lower due to their equipment. How much does the GMC Canyon cost? The 2025 GMC Canyon starts at $40,095, including destination. That gets you a 2WD Elevation model with the 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four. Our tester, an AT4X AEV Edition, landed at the other end of the pricing spectrum, with an MSRP of over $70,000.

The Polestar 4 now comes from South Korea instead of China
The 2026 Polestar 4 — the one without a rearview window — is now on sale in the US. And instead of being manufactured in China like the 2025 version, this all-electric coupe will be imported from South Korea. Of course, Polestar is a Volvo offshoot based in Sweden, and like Volvo it's owned by China's Geely. But with trade tension between the US and China escalating, Polestar's owners made a deal with Renault Korea Motors to manufacture the Polestar 4 at that company's plant in Busan. The EVs assembled there will be distributed to North America, as well as the South Korean market. That's the big news about the Polestar 4. The EV otherwise remains the same: the long-range single-motor rear-wheel drive version starts at $57,800 (including a $1,400 destination charge), which is only slightly more than the 2025 model year. Meanwhile, a dual-motor Polestar 4 with standard Pilot pack will start at $64,300. The EVs assembled there will be distributed to North America, as well as the South Korean market. The Polestar 4 is a coupe-style SUV with a targeted range over 300 miles and a 102kWh battery. One of the most distinctive features is the total absence of a rear window, which Polestar argues 'enables a new kind of immersive rear occupant experience.' The Verge contributor Daniel Golson said it was a little dark for rear-seat passengers but overall found a lot to like about the digital rearview mirror. The company says it will be its fastest production car to date, with a zero to 60mph sprint time of 3.7 seconds for the dual-motor versions and a maximum power output of 400kW or 544 horsepower. Both dual- and single-motor versions will be available, with single-motor versions featuring rear-wheel drive. The 102kWh battery is fitted to both long-range versions. A disconnect clutch allows the car to disengage the front electric motor when not needed to maximize range and efficiency. The Polestar 4, which is confusingly slotted between the Polestar 2 fastback sedan and the Polestar 3 SUV, is extremely important for the automaker's future. Polestar briefly removed the Polestar 2 from its website amid confusion around new tariffs from the Trump administration. The company is now only offering pre-owned versions of the EV. As InsideEVs notes, that makes the Polestar 4 the cheapest model in Polestar's limited North American lineup.

F1 driver penalty points after Max Verstappen's Spanish Grand Prix incident
After a thrilling Formula 1 triple-header, the grid has a chance to catch their collective breath before the next race weekend, the Canadian Grand Prix. And one driver has a chance to collect themselves after an eventful Spanish Grand Prix, a race that now has them at risk of a one-race suspension. Advertisement Max Verstappen was given both a ten-second penalty, and three penalty points, for an incident in the closing chapter of the Spanish Grand Prix. After being instructed by his team to give a place back to George Russell, Verstappen slowed down to let the Mercedes driver pass him, only to accelerate into Russell through a corner. Race officials handed down both a ten-second penalty and the penalty points after the race, putting Verstappen on the cusp of a suspension. Here are the current penalty points for the entire F1 grid, starting with Verstappen. What are FIA penalty points? Similar to your road driver's license, F1 drivers operate under an FIA Super License, which they can obtain based on results in the lower categories. Advertisement In an effort to promote safety on the track, and keep the drivers in line, penalty points on said Super License are among the potential penalties race stewards can hand out for infractions. Penalty points are reserved for the more severe incidents, such as causing an accident or violating rules regarding yellow and/or red flags. If a driver reaches 12 penalty points on their FIA Super License over a single calendar year period, they are hit with a one-race penalty ban. Last season Kevin Magnussen missed the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after accumulating enough penalty points to trigger the one-race ban at the previous race, the Italian Grand Prix. Penalty points remain on a driver's Super License for one calendar year, after which they expire. What F1 drivers currently have penalty points? As the F1 schedule shifts into summer, several drivers have penalty points on their FIA Super License. Advertisement One of those drivers is the reigning Drivers' Champion, and the driver most at risk of a one-race ban. Note: Penalties are listed from oldest to newest.

Two points: Race officials determined that Ocon caused a collision with then-teammate Pierre Gasly on the opening lap of the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix. Those two points will expire on May 26, 2025, and that incident may have doomed his tenure at Alpine. What F1 drivers still have a clean slate? As the schedule shifts into summer, several F1 drivers have a clean slate: Advertisement Kimi Antonelli Gabriel Bortoleto Esteban Ocon: Ocon began the year with three penalty points on his FIA Super License, all of which have now expired Pierre Gasly Lewis Hamilton Charles Leclerc Yuki Tsunoda Do any inactive drivers have penalty points outstanding ahead of 2025? There are also five drivers who may not be on the grid when 2025 begins, but have some points remaining on their FIA Super License that are yet to expire. Valtteri Bottas Five penalty points Valtteri Bottas returns to Mercedes as a reserve driver for the 2025 F1 season. However, he has five points currently on his FIA Super License. Bottas is frequently mentioned as an option for the incoming Cadillac F1 Team. Three points: Bottas had a rather eventful Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He was given a three-point penalty for causing a collision with Kevin Magnussen. These three points expire on December 8, 2025. Two points: Bottas was given two more penalty points in Abu Dhabi, these for causing a collision with Sergio Pérez. These also expire on December 8, 2025. Jack Doohan Four penalty points Jack Doohan was replaced at Alpine by Franco Colapinto following the Monaco Grand Prix. At the moment he has four penalty points on his FIA Super License. Advertisement Two points: Doohan was given a two-point penalty for causing a collision with fellow rookie Gabriel Bortoleto during the F1 Sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix. These expire on March 22, 2026.
