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.
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 to make the structure a closed section to the maximum extent possible.
The impact force if the vehicle is involved in a collision is absorbed very efficiently by distributing the impact in multiple directions.
Four ring structures have been created for the upper body including the roof rail and B-pillar, and the entire reinforcement area of the underbody.
By creating a ring structure, cabin deformation control has been improved.
