"We should emphasize the distinct features of the new product." (Vocabulary for TOEIC, Ivy)

Is "distinct features" a correct and common collocation? What about "distinctive features"?
Ngram Viewer and Ludwig show that "distinctive features" is much more common than "distinct features".
Or are they both acceptable?
 
I would use distinctive features. (The distinctive features are those that make it stand out, that make it different from every similar product.)
