❓ Limited evidence of crashworthiness.

No official NCAP crash test Global o r Asian is publicly available for Changan Karvaan.

Body is built on a lightweight ladder frame, focused on cost-efficiency—not crash safety.

Real-life incident videos suggest the front crush zones are weak.

➡️ Structurally, it lacks the rigid cabin and crumple zones found in more advanced vans like Toyota Hiace o r Suzuki APV.
