No compromise on safety.

As you’d expect from such a powerful performer, the R32 has an uncompromising

approach to safety. For a start, the laser welded body provides exceptional strength,

while the airbag system includes driver’s and front passenger’s airbags with

passenger’s airbag deactivation switch, front seat side impact airbags and curtain

airbag system for both front and rear passengers. There are active head restraints 

for both driver and front seat passenger, helping to minimise whiplash in the event 

of a rear impact, three-point seat belts for all seats – height adjustable in the front, 

and innovative Isofix child seat preparation in the two outer rear seats, allowing 

child seats to be fixed directly to the vehicle’s chassis.

In addition, there are a number of active safety features that help you avoid having 

an accident in the first place. Traction Control (ASR) helps prevent wheelspin in

slippery conditions, an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) reacts to critical

driving situations in milliseconds by controlling the speed of individual wheels, 

and a confidence inspiring Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) which helps to prevent 

the wheels from locking under heavy braking including Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)

which boosts the brake pressure when it detects an emergency braking situation. 

All in all, the R32 is one of the safest cars on the road today, with a five star NCAP 

safety rating to prove it.

01

Bi-Xenon headlights

produce a much clearer, brighter light, giving you a better view of the road ahead 

and helping you drive more safely. Headlight washers help keep headlights free from dirt, ensuring 

maximum visibility.

02

The 

Electronic Stabilisation Programme

(ESP) detects critical situations in milliseconds, 

braking individual wheels and reducing the engine’s output to help bring the vehicle under control.

03

There are a total of 

six airbags

, optimally placed to protect the driver and passengers.

04

The 

flat tyre indicator

alerts you via a visual warning if it detects a loss of pressure in a tyre due to a puncture.
