Although it features six airbags in the Indian market, the model tested in Latin America comes equipped with only two airbags and lacks advanced safety features.

Test Methodology
The testing involved various collision scenarios, including frontal and side impacts at differing speeds. The SUV lost significant points in side head protection, highlighting its inadequate safety performance.
