Some people have a misconception that there is a compromise in safety in hybrid cars because of the "lighter" design. The truth is that all hybrid vehicles are equipped with the same safety features that are found in standard models. For example, hybrid cars have a traditional front air bag system and side curtains. Additional safety features may include electronic braking systems featuring anti-lock brakes, tire pressure monitors, and rear view cameras.
