BODY STRUCTURE


  1. OUTLINE


    1. Light Weight and Highly Rigid Body


      1. High-strength sheet steel and ultra high-strength sheet steel are used in order to achieve excellent body rigidity and a lightweight body.

    2. Safety Features


      1. The impact absorbing structure minimizes cabin deformation by effectively helping to absorb the impact energy in the event of a front, side or rear collision. This provides high performance occupant protection.

    3. Rust-resistant Body


      1. Rust-resistant performance is ensured by the extensive use of anti-corrosion sheet steel, as well as by an anti-corrosion treatment that includes the application of anti-rust wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to easily corroded parts such as the hood and fender.

    4. Low Vibration and Low Noise Body


      1. Effective application of vibration damping and noise suppressant materials reduces engine, wind and road noise.

    5. Aerodynamics


      1. Various types of airflow routing parts that control airflow are provided under the floor, and an under cover is provided to make the under floor area flat in order to ensure excellent aerodynamic performance.

    6. Parts with Low Repair Cost


      1. Top-level damageability is achieved among the same segments, thus reducing the repair cost in the case of a minor collision.

  2. MAIN FEATURES


    1. Exterior Design


      1. Front View (Sedan Models)


        • The outer skirt of the hood panel folds into the front pillar, giving a unique AVENSIS identity.

        • For the front end, a 3-dimensional evolution of the "Keen Look*1" and "Under Priority*2" express a bold and dynamic presence.

          Tech Tips

          *1: A Toyota-original front expression that provides a bright, intelligent and dynamic impression. It is express by a combination of the Toyota mark enhanced 3-dimensionally and the dynamic Toyota theme of "Under Priority".

          *2: A front design with an assertive lower grille design, based on technical theories to ensure aerodynamic, cooling, and pedestrian protection performance.


          1. The center of gravity is focused around the front emblem to express "Keen Look" boldly and dynamically.

          2. The combination of the upper and lower front bumper expresses a strong 3-dimensional architecture.

          3. The large lower grille with the movement of the volumes on the bumper corners express a good stance.

      3. Rear View (Sedan Models)


        • The character line from the upper side of the doors encompasses the upper sections of the luggage compartment door panel sub-assembly, thus expressing a dynamic image.

        • The black horizontal line used on the rear bumper cover expresses a wide and stable cover.

        • Further more, the main architecture emphasizes consistency in design with the front and express a good stance.

        • The design of the rear view has departed from a boxlike shape as much as possible, expressing elegance.

      4. Rear View (Wagon Models)


        • The character line from the upper side of the doors encompasses the upper sections of the back door panel sub-assembly, thus expressing a dynamic image.

        • The black horizontal line used on the rear bumper cover expresses a wide and stable cover.

        • Optimal proportions are used for the body and rear bumper to reduce the commercial vehicle feeling and lend a unique theme.

        • A rear spoiler is provided as standard equipment. The rear spoiler has a robust line which expresses a sporty appearance.

        • An integrated type roof rail is provided as standard equipment to express a sense of unity with the body.

      5. Side View (Sedan Models)


        • Compared with the conventional sedan models, the base of the front body pillar has been located further forward and the base of the quarter pillar has been located further toward the rear to produce a large smooth line flow which passes through the hood panel, roof panel and luggage compartment door panel sub-assembly, thus expressing a dynamic side design.

        • The belt line and door character line raise toward the rear of the vehicle to form a wedge shape, thus expressing a sporty image.

      6. Side View (Wagon Models)


        • Compared with the conventional wagon models, the base of the front body pillar has been located further forward to produce a smooth line, which combines with the hood panel, roof panel and rear spoiler to express a dynamic side design that complements the inwardly inclined back window glass.

        • The belt line and door character line raise toward the rear of the vehicle to form a wedge shape, thus expressing a sporty image.
