Occupants are protected by air bags in the front and those mounted in the seats to shield against collisions from the side. Both the driver and the front passenger benefit from bags in the knee position. Systems are present to control and monitor traction, stability, braking, and tire pressure. Beams in the doors absorb force and reinforements are present in both the door sills and pillars. The upper interior trim is also designed to dissipate impact.

The doors, steering wheel and shift knobs are trimmed in a combination of both wood and leather. Both front occupants include ten levels of seat adjustment as well as heating.
