It meets user expectations for high ballistic and mine protection, as well as high payload, along with unparalleled mobility, unlike other vehicles in this class. Compared to similar mine-resistant vehicles worldwide, the COBRA II MRAP's low center of gravity provides superior mobility and unparalleled handling on both stabilized roads and off-road terrain. Capable of carrying up to 11 personnel with various layout options, the vehicle can be configured with 3 or 5 doors to suit user requirements.
