• RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) has

been adopted for the main body in order to
improve all-round impact safety at high level.

• The applications of anti-corrosion steel plates

have been expanded to the hood, doors, inner
panel of the tailgate and reinforcements to
improve the anti-corrosive properties of the main
body.

• Some high-tensile steel panels in 590 MPa-class

and 980 MPa-class have been adopted to
improve the rigidity and weight reduction of the
panel.

• The sealer application area has been extended to

the entire flange folded edge of the doors, hood,
and tailgate, and the panel joints at the bottom of
the front floor and the rear floor, in order to
improve rust resistance.

The front and rear structures to absorb high energy,
and the highly tough cabin structure are adopted to
reduce the risk of passenger injuries at front-, rear-,
and side-impact collisions, secure the space for life
protection, and facilitate rescuing passengers. These
structures also have the following features:

1. The crush box structure has been adopted to the

front end of the front sidemember to improve the
characteristics at a minor frontal collision.

2. The ring structure of the side structure reinforce-

ment has been adopted to improve the collision
characteristics and the rigidity of the whole vehi-
cle.

3. A front floor sidemember is located in and under

the front floor to improve frontal collision safety.

4. The padding structure of the cowl top is designed

to have a crushable structure in order to effi-
ciently absorb energy upon impact, thus improv-
ing the pedestrian protection capability.

STEEL PLATE WITH UNEVEN THICK-
NESS

The uneven thickness steel panels* (in uneven thick-
ness integrated structure) have been adopted for the
parts shown in the figure to improve safety upon
impact and reduce weight.

NOTE: *: A steel sheet of varying thickness that is
welded into one steel sheet.

1. The sound dampening foam material has been

adopted to the upper and lower sections of the
front pillar, roof side rail section, centre pillar
lower section, wheel house arch, and rear end
inside to shield from external noise.

2. Urethane foam has been inserted into the centre

pillar lower section to shield from external noise.

BODY COLOUR CHARTS

Two types of colour variation have been introduced;
the colour suggesting the great nature or the colour
providing the sporty and tough impression. Colour
