Floating because centre of mass is higher + so so suspension. Always remember that it is not a sport car.
. Sharing on the "weight" question that many ppl asking.
Conclusion lighter car has disadvantage when head-on collision with heavier car. But if u bang a static object e.g. tree/wall or a static car. Then lighter car is actually safer. That is the reason why Bezza scored higher than Persona on ASEAN ncap test.
For example, if an SUV has a head-on collision with a compact car, the occupants of the SUV may be less likely to be injured than are the occupants of the compact car. One law of physics— kinetic energy is proportional to the mass times velocity squared (KE = mv2/2)—dictates that a larger vehicle has more kinetic energy than the smaller one for the same velocity. The resistance of the lighter vehicle to crash damage depends on its ability to absorb the specific energy transferred by the collision, a capability governed more by design than weight.
The situation may be different, Boeman adds, if the two vehicles driving at the same speed crash into a rigid barrier such as a large tree. The lighter vehicle would absorb much less energy than the SUV, potentially making the lightweight car safer for the occupants than is the SUV. If an automaker builds a lighter SUV, then the requirements to absorb energy decrease.
