The chassis housing is welded from armored rolled steel sheets and provides protection for the crew from bullets and small fragments of shells. The layout of the car is identical to the SAU 2C1 . In the front of the case there is a motor-transmission compartment and a control compartment. In the middle and rear of the hull is the fighting compartment.
