The thull is equipped with 2 front doors, 2 rear swing doors, a roof hatch, a cab windscreen defrosting system, and comes with a front area for the driver and commander, an engine compartment, a communication corridor, and a rear area for troops and equipment.

A rear ramp and a roof interface for a 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm self-defense machine gun turret are available as an option. From the ergonomics standpoint, the VAB Mark III offers excellent exterior vision, with awide windshield and side windows, and, as an option: a 360° surveillance system, a BMS (Battle Management System), a gunshot acoustic detector and a laser warning system.
