How does the lightweight build of Alsvin affect safety in case of an accident?

Some critics argue that lighter vehicles offer less protection in collisions. Do you think Alsvin’s body structure feels durable and crash-resistant?

The Alsvin’s relatively lightweight build contributes to better fuel efficiency but raises questions about passive safety in case of a collision. While the car is equipped with basic structural reinforcements and 2 airbags, it lacks the advanced crash protection offered by more premium rivals. In minor to moderate collisions, the body structure holds up reasonably well, but in severe impacts, lighter vehicles generally offer less protection than heavier, better-reinforced ones. Owners should be aware of this tradeoff and ensure seatbelt use and defensive driving.
