Standard A-KIP® Package

Certified materials,
original character.

The scope of the standard package is identical at both levels – the protection level defines threat coverage, ballistic glass thickness and payload.

Protected windshield

Ballistic glass certified to VPAM-PM 4 or 6. The front camera, the driver assistance systems and, if fitted to the base vehicle, the windshield heating are retained.
Protected door and tailgate glass

All four side door windows and the tailgate glass in certified ballistic glass, VPAM-PM 4 or 6.
Protected cargo side glass

Covered inside with opaque ballistic material and OEM fabric trim – outside, the original look with dark tinted glass remains.
Protected doors and tailgate

Certified ballistic materials inside all side doors and the tailgate, VPAM-PM 4 or 6.
Roof protection by level

Level 4: certified security film on the panorama roof, which stays functional. Level 6: main roof in ballistic steel and/or special composites, panorama roof deactivated.
Spare wheel removed for payload

The tailgate is finished with high-quality trim panels; an emergency tire sealant system with compressor is included.
