SIDE STRUCTURE
- The rear suspension spring assembling area (spring house reinforcement, spring house bracket plate, and spring house bracket) was placed in a lower position to improve front, rear, left and right direction rigidity and improve driving safety.
- Torsional rigidity was heightened and driving stability was improved by bonding the side outer panel and pillar reinforcement (front pillar reinforcement upper or rear pillar reinforcement upper) with the inner panel (side roof rail inner or quarter inner panel).

SIDE STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT
- A reinforcement was added in the front pillar. This suppresses the level of deformation of the door opening and recession of the deck crossmember upon front impact and offset impact. The design is also expected to improve passenger rescuability and to minimize the level of injuries.
- An uneven thickness steel sheet* in which the sheet thickness is thinner on the side sill side was employed for the centre pillar reinforcement to ensure safety upon side impact and lightweightness.
- The side sill outer reinforcement section was designed with large form, to suppress cabin deformation and improve safety upon impact.
NOTE: *: Steel plates with different thickness welded together to make one steel plate.
