The crush box structure has been adopted to the
front end of the sidemember to improve the
characteristics at a minor frontal collision.
Closed-crosssectional construction has been
used for the front roof rail, the roof bow center and
the rear roof rail to improve vehicle body ridigity
and suppress vibration and noise.
An annular construction has been used for the side
structure reinforcement to improve collision safety
and vehicle body ridigity.
The front frame structure is supported in three
directions by the dash crossmember center, dash
crossmember lower, and front sidemember rear in
order
to improve the frontal collision
characteristics, and increase the vehicle body
rigidity.
The front sidemember structure has been changed
to a straight frame structure with a hexagon cross
section in order to improve the collision
characteristics.
The padding structure of the fender has been
adopted to efficiently absorb energy upon impact
and improve the pedestrian protection capability.
The impact absorbing opening on the cowl top
outer panel has been added to efficiently absorb
