Yep- 2012 onwards.  Optional, I think, but when you see that face plant in the car's window, they look like a good idea.

Think only on the Luxury model along with factory GPS.....the Standard model did get them, unless that now changed....a rider on the Autobarn in Germany atributes the airbag to saving his bacon a couple of years ago.
