It has a helicopter! If tested successfully it could open up new avenues of reconnaissance/probing. It's called Ingenuity and has been specifically designed to fly in Mars' conditions. Oh, and it also landed on an ancient crater lake so if there was/is life on Mars this would be a likely candidate to find something.
