Safety
The vehicle incorporates safety features like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Dual Airbags. Doors are equipped with side-impact beams. The sturdy ladder frame is boxed and is designed with built-in crumple zones at the front and the rear.

This helps in reducing the overall crash forces acting upon the occupants. The doors are equipped with side impact beams to take care of side impact.
