From each manufacturer's Australian equipment list. No data means that car's document does not say. The drawings are our own illustrations of how each kind of system works.

Figures are for each model's cheapest current variant and are sourced from the manufacturer's Australian material. Prices exclude on-road costs. A highlighted figure leads that row only where at least two of these cars publish it. "No data" means we hold no figure, which is not the same as a zero. ANCAP ratings are shown with the year they were awarded because the protocols tighten over time.
