Body Structure
Body StructureLightweight and Highly Rigid Body
1. High Strength Sheet Steel
^ High strength sheet steel is used in order to ensure body rigidity and realize a lightweight body.
^ In the center pillar reinforcement, roof reinforcement, rocker outer and rocker inner, ultra high strength sheet steel is used.
^ Ultra high strength sheet steel has approximately 1.3 times the strength of conventional high strength sheet steel. Therefore, to provide the same strength of high strength sheet steel, a weight reduction of approximately 25% can be realized.
2. Brace
Excellent maneuverability and stability has been achieved by providing a cowl top outer panel for the front suspension tower.
