The PARS 8x8 can be fitted with a full range of weapons systems including manual ring mount machine gun station or remote weapon station with light or medium caliber weapons. A variety of weapons can be installed on the roof, such as a 7.62 or 12.7 mm machine gun or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. The PARS 8x8 can be also equipped with one or two man turret armed with 25mm automatic cannon.

The hull of the PARS 8x8 consists of a composite aluminium and steel armour that provides a protection for the crew and infantry against firing of small arms 7.62 mm armour-piercing attack through a full 360°. The vehicle is also protected against mines and IEDs threats. In option, the PARS can be fitted with an add-on armour package to increase protection. One of the most significant features of the PARS vehicle is situational awareness. A unique feature is that the vehicle commander and driver sit side-by-side. The driver and the commander are seated at the front of the vehicle, both with flat-panel displays all information about the status of the vehicle. There is three large day periscopes at the front position of driver and commander and one on each side that provide excellent visibility. Eight infantrymen can be seated at the rear of the hull on individual seats down each side of the hull facing inwards. All shock-absorbing seats are fitted with five-point seatbelts as standard. Back of the driver and commander position, there is an access passage to the troop compartment at the right side of the hull. The troops leave and enter the vehicle via a large hydraulic ramp mounted at the rear of the hull. To allow for PARS to be rapidly re-configured for different operational roles, all members of the PARS family have a removable roof so that it can be quickly converted for a wide range of specialist roles.
