Mini cars offer a big challenge when it comes to safety while designing them but Chevrolet Spark has considered all the parameters in mind while designing this vehicle which is a big feet in itself since over the years, none of the mini cars could clear the stringent series of tests carried out by the IIHS. About 62% of the under body and 42% of the upper body of the spark is constituted of lightweight, high resistance steel imparting its high safety and strength. Plus, its sturdy door beams and H-shaped structure under the seating area are meant to prevent from severe shocks thereby lending an extreme level of protection. The driver’s and passengers front knee air bags have been installed to absorb shocks from frontal injuries. Similarly, the rear rail is made of steel body so as to prevent side and rear impacts damage the fuel tank.
