Our Top 3 Safety Features
1. Hill-Assist Control
South Africa is a very mountainous landscape, so a safety feature like Hill-Assist will help when you need to do the dreaded hill-start, especially when you're on a sharp gradient. This is quite handy with an SUV.
2. Park Distance Control (Rear)
Backing up into a shopping mall parking can be a bit of a chore, especially when there's a hidden pole and you need to figure out the distance between your car and your pole; park distance control sensors will make your life easier.
3. ISOFIX Child Restraint System
The little ones need to travel safely, and an ISOFIX child seat restraint system is a solid way to keep children safe in a car. There are two anchor points on the outer rear seats in the Urban Cruiser.
Now that you know the top 3 safety features, here are the top 3 things you need to know about the Urban Cruiser.
