The vehicle has been designed to protect the

occupant(s) during a collision. The vehicle

design begins with a strong, body-frame-integral

structure. High-strength steel makes up more

than 62 percent of the Spark EV’s underbody

and 42 percent of its upper body. Adequate

cutting tools will be required to penetrate the

structure.

The Spark EV is equipped with 10 standard air

bags, including both driver and passenger front

knee air bags to reduce the risk of injuries to

lower extremities in frontal crashes. Dual-stage

frontal air bags, seat-mounted side air bags, and

side curtain air bags that extend over the front

and rear seating rows are also standard.

Additionally, crumple zones protect the occupant

with front, side, and rear rails that are designed

to crush in the event of a collision.
