Boasting a 78 per cent high-strength steel body composition, with a tensile strength of 1500 Mpa, the car was revealed to be highly effective at maintaining stability and overall cabin safety throughout impact tests of several strengths. Combined with a comprehensive technological system of 16 intelligent safety features, the car promises safe driving that is both intuitive and effortless on UAE roads.
