BODY CONSTRUCTION CHARACTERISTICS

BODY CONSTRUCTION

Fender Shield

The cross section of the front sidemember has been 
increased and a steel sheet with variable thickness* 
has been adopted for the front sidemember inner to 
increase the thickness of the cabinet side in the aim 
to improve safety in collision, body rigidity, and real-
ize lightweight.

NOTE: *: A steel sheet of varying thickness that is 
welded into one steel sheet.

The spring house panel has been designed to be 
directly installed with the cowl top lower panel, and 
the body rigidity of the suspension attachment holder 
has been increased to improve operational stability 
and quietness.

Front Deck

Dash Panel

• A dash panel crossmember has been added and 

the thickness of the dash panel lower has been 
increased to improve collision stability.

• A silencer (steel sheet binding type vibration 

damping material) has been added between the 
dash panel and dash panel silencer to control the 
penetrating sound and vibration from the engine.
