Safety kit for the Neta V is rather basic, encompassing stuff like two airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, auto vehicle hold, ABS, EBD, and stability control. Similar to other xEVs in its segment, the Neta V forgoes the spare tyre and is fitted with a tyre repair kit instead.

Five colours are available, namely Cyan, Midnight Grey, White Storm, Sky Blue, and Sakura Pink.
