FEATURE OF BODY CONSTRUCTION

• A high-vacuum aluminum die-casting integral molding strut housing is adopted to improve body rigidity, weight reduction, collision safety, and high accuracy.
• A high-vacuum die-casting integral molding door inner is adopted to improve glass raising/lowering performance during high-speed driving, to improve weight reduction, collision safety, high accuracy, and to improve open/close operability and closing noise.
• A high-vacuum aluminum die-casting integral molding rear seatback panel is adopted to improve body rigidity and weight reduction.

For this vehicle, a foaming agent is adopted to improve quietness and a highly rigid foaming agent is adopted to improve body rigidity.
In addition, for details of cross section G, a foaming agent is adopted to improve watertightness.

This vehicle is improved upon the following items as a high performance vehicle:

• Wheel alignment accuracy to provide driving stability and straightness
• Power train mounting accuracy to provide a better vibration level
• Door opening accuracy to provide a comfortable wind noise level

The body framework accuracy is improved to provide these items.

For the joint of strut housing, adhesive is adopted to improve driving stability and to prevent electric corrosion. For the joint of rear seatback, it is adopted to improve driving stability.
