Saftey concerns for i10 not properly addressed

I am planning to buy a car and had test driven i10. The drive was quite comfortable,
Pros
a) very good power steering
b) cool interiors
c) smooth gear shift
d) powerful AC

Cons
a) I found the pickup to be very moderate with AC on

I want to book it but have a major concern, I read that there are no crash impact beams (side or front) in i10.
Doesn't it make this car very vulnerable and if it is a flaw, How could it be rated Car of the Year
 Or there is some superior mechanism.

I have searched a lot in the web regarding safety issues for  i10, but could not get much info.

 On the other hand, there is a good info on Safety aspects of Santro Xing which includes

a) dual member side impact protection

b) Crumple zone to absorb frontal impact

c) Ultra high strength steel members built onto doors

d) Collapsible steering colum

There is a EuroNCAP safety certification for i30 and Getz, but not for i10. This makes me more concerened
