FEATURES
WEIGHT REDUCTION AND HIGH RIGID-
ITY
•Application ranges of high tension steel plate,
antirust steel plate, and uneven thickness steel
plate have been expanded.
•The upper frame outer and front pillar connection
has been strengthened by adopting the upper
frame-to-front pillar brace.

•A front suspension axle side plate has been
adopted <4G1>.
•The air outlet garnish has been installed to the
hood, improving the sporty image and cooling
efficiency in the engine compartment. <4G1>
REDUCTION OF VIBRATION, NOISE, AND
AERODYNAMIC NOISE
•Straight frame structure has been adopted.

-
tem(F1C1A).
IMPROVEMENTS OF PRODUCT
PACKAGE AND APPEARANCE
•Rigidity of door sash bottom section has been
improved.
•By improving the engaging sound between the
door latch and striker, the door locking sound
quality has been enhanced.
•UV & heat protect glass has been used for the
windshield.

MAIN BODY
BODY42-4
•RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) has
been adopted for the main body in order to
ensure all-round impact safety at high level.
•The use range of rust-resistant steel plates has
been expanded and high strength steel plates
have been optimally arranged. In addition,
rust-resistant steel plates are adopted for items
such as the hood, doors, inner panels of tailgate,
and reinforcements in order to improve the rust
resistance of the main body and to reduce its
weight.
•Sealer has been applied to the entire folded area
of the flanges for the doors, hood, and tailgate in
order to improve rust resistance.
