Other Features
The Exeo also features the same multi-link fully independent front and rear suspension as used on the Audi A4, again with light-weight cast aluminium alloy front suspension arms and virtual steering-axis uprights. All models are equipped with ZF-supplied power steering, with some models having speed-sensitive 'servotronic' variable assistance.
Disc brakes are fitted front and rear, with the radially ventilated fronts ranging in diameter from 280 millimetres (11.0 in) by 22 millimetres (0.87 in) thick, to 320 millimetres (12.6 in) by 30 millimetres (1.18 in). At the rear are solid (un-ventilated) discs ranging from 245 millimetres (9.6 in) by 10 millimetres (0.39 in) to 288 millimetres (11.3 in) by 12 millimetres (0.47 in). All discs, front and rear, utilise a single-piston sliding brake caliper.
Chassis electronics feature as standard the Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Programme, which also includes Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and emergency Brake Assist (BA). This ESP system also includes Anti Slip Regulation (ASR - or traction control), and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) traction aids.
Roadwheel options vary from a basic 7Jx16 steel wheel with plastic wheel covers, to a number of variants of alloy wheels, from 16" to 18" in diameter.
Conventional halogen dual-bulb (H7 dip and H1 main) headlamps are standard, with self-leveling single-source Bi-Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights available as an option.
Luggage capacity in the saloon variant, measured according to the VDA 'block' method, is 460 litres (16.2 cu ft). On the other hand in the estate Exeo ST variant the boot size starts from 442 litres (15.6 cu ft) (or 564 litres (19.9 cu ft) when loaded up to roof) and after folding rear seats it rises to 882 litres (31.1 cu ft) (or 1,354 litres (47.8 cu ft) when loaded up to roof with rear seats down).

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
