Hand crank windows is a weird choice, are the locks manual as well?

Wouldn't it significantly increase the cost (think wiring, motor, assembly, etc) to have "power windows"?

That's why I'm wondering if locks are manual as well. If there's no wiring at all going into the doors then presumably the doors will be cheap. But if they have power going in for locks already, power windows shouldn't be a costly addon.

I think automatic door locks are a US requirement for crash safety.
