A flat floor and long wheelbase relative to the short body give good rear legroom for four adults.

Global versions sold as Dolphin Surf earned a full five-star Euro NCAP score. Adult protection reached 82 %, child 86 %. The body uses a high percentage of high-strength steel. Standard passive safety starts with dual front airbags and expands to six airbags plus side curtains on upper grades. Active systems include ESC, ABS, TPMS and rear sensors. higher trims add AEB, lane keep and adaptive cruise.
