BODY PANELING


- RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) has been adopted to improve safety during a collision at high level.
- The monocoque body with built-in rudder frame in which the sidemember is integrated into the bottom of the body has been adopted for weight reduction and low centre of gravity.
- The application area of the anti-corrosion steel plates has been enlarged to improve the rust resistance.
- High-tensile steel panels of 590-grade have been used for some panels to improve collision safety and reduce weight.
- The aluminium hood has been adopted to reduce weight.
