Lets compare KWID and CS1 braking in an emergency situation KWID No ABSDriver slams the brakes - wheels lockDriver loses controlNarrow tyres (155mm) loses grip easilyVehicle slides forwardStopIf this scenario happens in highway - "aba saranai" CS1ABS equipped Driver slams the brakes - ABS takes control over brakingDriver can steer the vehicle while fully brakingsits on 185mm wide tyres so doesn't lose grip as easily as KWIDVehicle doesn't slideStop/steer away from dangerIf both cars fail to stop before crash the impact force will be lesser for the CS1 because its stopping distance is shorter - thus the impact speed is low. CS1 have crumple zones, collapsible steering columns, dual Airbags and rigid cabin so passengers of the CS1 are obviously more protected than the passengers of the KWID which comes with a frail body shell, No airbag for the front passenger, No pretensioners, no nothing (top end variant)I know this comparison is between a fully loaded family sedan and an entry level hatch but both of them are priced similarly and difference between running cost is almost negligible.Vehicles can be brought back from dead - human lives, however, cannot.</blockquote>
