BODY SHELL
id091000025000
Outline
• A straight structure has been adopted which is both highly rigid and light.
• A multi-load path structure has been adopted which assures a high level of impact safety.
• A ring structure has been adopted which improves the overall rigidity.

Construction
Straight construction
-
• The straight shape of the frame creates a continuous configuration from the front to the rear.
• For sections of the frame that still require some curvature, continuous bonding with the horizontal frame was implemented and a closed sectional structure was made to the maximum extent possible.
Multi-load path construction
-
• Collision impact is distributed in multiple directions and absorbed efficiently.
Ring shape construction
-
• Overall body rigidity has been improved using a four-ring structure created by the upper body including the roof rail and B-pillar combined with the entire underbody reinforcement.
• Cabin deformation in a collision is suppressed by creating a ring structure.
Fail-safe
• Not applicable
