Something Familiar
Aston Martin Vanquish | Motor Trend
Aston Martin Vanquish has a pretty surprising feature that is not so obvious at first sight. The automakers had fun in putting these tiny tweaks on its design. Though the brand is known for performance and luxury, this Easter egg feature proved that the brand can also show some creativity.
When you look at the rear end of the Vanquish, you will see two ordinary back headlights. But if you look a little closer, you will notice that the shape of the two headlights forms the shape of Aston Martins iconic logo.
Amazing Light Show
Tesla always adds a little extra to their cars. And its not surprising to see something of this sort. What about a mini light show?
Yes. You read that right a light show. Teslas Model X is one of the vehicles with impressive Easter egg features.
To activate the light show, the driver needs to press down the T button in the car and enter either: ModelXmas or holiday. This will initiate the coordinated light display.
The Hidden Camera
Volkswagen Rear Camera | Euro Car News
Volkswagen Passat CC and Golf possess a nice feature hiding just behind its iconic logo. What is it? It is the rear camera.
When the driver activates the reversing camera, the logo flips up and reveals the lens behind it. It looks like a special feature from the Batmobile (in the superhero movie).
The Skyline
Chrysler 200 | Auto Parts Warehouse
This secret feature is one intresting and clever design tweak made by Chrysler. It made use of its origins skyline while removing its competition from the picture. How? Look at Chrysler 200s floor mats.
The floor mat shows Detroit skyline. But if you look closely, a building is missing from the view. And that is GM Renaissance Center Chryslers competitor.
Spiders Web
Volvo XC90 | Eurokar
Easter eggs make adults and kids feel happy. And in the Volvo XC90, the automaker added a fun surprise feature that will bring a smile to both kid and adult alike. Behind the lid of a storage bin hides a spiders web design.
And it is not just a spiders web. You can see a funny spider that will be appealing to kids. It is easier to tell them to put away their toys in the bin.

This Easter egg feature is both cool and historical. Like what a Jeep is, this feature can easily capture hearts. The Trailhawks wheels showcase a small red Willys Jeep.
Ambient Light
This surprising feature is more of a design than an Easter egg. But it is a nice surprise to Mercedes-Benz CLS owners to have the entire interior light up in bright colors.
The colors may also change depending on the car features that the driver is using. This could be a great addition to other cars.
Car-shaped Fob
Tesla Model S | The Infamous Wolf

Ford GT40 | Jalopnik
Ford GT40 showcases commemorative headlights to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The headlights literally looked like the figure 100.”
The one headlight shows 100 while the other one shows 001. It is a fun and clever way to add a surprise feature as a top automaker can do.Hello Sunshine!
