OVERVIEW
The vehicle's occupants are protected by an armored cell assembled inside the bodywork, a woven Kevlar blanket on the floor and armor under the floor. The vehicle has armor in the following areas:
- The engine bulkhead.
- The roof.
- The rear three-quarter panels.
- The A, B/C and D pillars.
- The doors.
- Behind the rear seats.
- The sills.
- The floor.
The door hinges and door stop mechanisms are reinforced to support the additional weight of the armor. Gas struts are installed to aid door opening and prevent involuntary closing.
A new front cover in the luggage compartment conceals covert system components installed on brackets attached to the luggage compartment floor.
