PROTECTIVE INSTINCT
Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA) will detect emergency
braking and assist the driver in bringing the car to a stop.
And the Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) cradles the
front seat occupants to help reduce the risk of whiplash injuries.
SENSE OF BALANCE
A broad stance and an advanced chassis promote stability,
as do the AWD and Four-C options. The Stability and
Traction Control system (STC) counteracts wheel spin
by cutting power to a wheel until it regains traction. The
available Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system
(DSTC) also works to prevent skids by applying the brakes
when needed. The steering is communicative yet firm. And
for an enhanced sense of road feedback at highway speed,
there's the option of a speed-dependent steering system.
RESILIENT FRAME
Built with high strength steel, the robust safety cage is an
extremely rigid construction intended to form an enclosure
around the occupants of the car. It is surrounded by the
body's various deformation zones — resilient areas designed
to absorb the forces generated in a collision.
