Both the driver and the passenger had marginal protection on the knees as they could get knocked into the structures surrounding the dashboard supported by the Tran fascia tube. The Tibia region for drivers showed weak and adequate protection but the passengers showed good and adequate. Global NCAP rated the body shell and footwell area as unstable and the car offers standard SBR for both the driver and passenger.
