The "Radar Safety Package" utilizes advanced stereo multi-purpose cameras and radar sensors to more accurately assess surrounding traffic conditions. Features include "Active Steering Assist," which recognizes and adjusts speed to the vehicle ahead, even stopping and automatically resuming speed, and "Active Brake Assist," which detects the risk of collision with vehicles, pedestrians, or objects, issuing warnings and applying automatic emergency braking.

Additionally, the "Evasive Steering Assist" detects the risk of collision with pedestrians crossing the roadway ahead, calculates precise steering torque, assists the driver's steering input, and supports vehicle recovery after evasion. These functions are designed to support the driver, ensuring a more confident driving experience.
Concurrently, the wheel designs for the A-Class and A-Class Sedan have been refreshed.
