All models have six airbags including front and rear curtain bags. Four-star Euro NCAP rating is good, but not class-leading, ABS and Electronic Brake Distribution on all models. Effective immobiliser and deadlocks from Rapier models upwards. Alarm with remote control central locking and deadlocks are only standard on the XSI and D-Turbo.

Rear load area is capacious and deep, although access is compromised by the large rear light clusters. Plenty of space for knick-knacks, thanks to a series of cubby holes. Air-conditioned glovebox is ideal in summer for keeping drinks and snacks cool.
