SIDE STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT

1. A large side outer reinforcement has been 

installed to disperse energy upon impact effi-
ciently, so that the safety upon impact has been 
improved.

2. The side roof rail reinforcement rear rigidity has 

been enhanced to maintain the cabin space and 
improve the passenger rescue upon off-set rear 
impact.

3. An uneven-thickness steel sheet* has been 

adopted to the side sill outer reinforcement inner 
to thicken the sheet thickness of the front vehicle, 
so that the safety upon frontal impact has been 
improved.

NOTE: *: Steel plates with different thickness welded 
together to make one steel plate.
