• 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

M2420005002891

Two types of colour variation have been introduced; 
the colour suggesting the great nature or the colour 
providing the sporty and tough impression. Colour 
names have been modified for easy recognition. The 
colour recipe is the same as the conventional one.
