All models of Lancer protect you with RISE body design, or Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution. This rigid safety shell absorbs energy in strategically located crumple zones, shielding all occupants from impact. It also creates a stiff structure for the vehicle, improving handling - another key safety feature when you have to steer clear of hazards.
From the ground up, even the way it sticks to the ground, Lancer is one safe car. There is a comprehensive array of active and passive safety features all resulting in a very reassuring drive, and a 5-star ANCAP safety rating is also extremely comforting.
The base model ES comes with driver and passenger airbags, as you’d expect. It also comes with a driver’s knee airbag, a recent development that has been shown to reduce injury significantly.
All other models of Lancer feature driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags. They deploy in dual-stages, which means they inflate to minimise injury from the airbag itself.
Inside every Lancer you’re also protected by three-point ELR safety belts with pretensioners. This system reels in any slack in the belt before impact, then releases a small amount to reduce sudden shock to the body.
