This a unique premium car amongst others and it stands out due to its advanced safety features.
The car is embedded with a system known as the variable geometry intake system that makes it stand out in terms of technology.

Amongst the safety features are the three point seat belts for all five of the passengers. Moreover the body of the car has been designed in such a way that the engineers have incorporated crumple zones in the front and rear. These crumple zones help to absorb the majority of the force of an impact in case of an accident thereby minimizing the risk to the passengers. To add to the safety of the passengers steel crash bars have been incorporated wherever possible and the steering has been made collapsible.
