    3. Front Fender


      1. An upper front pillar door opening gusset, which connects the apron member portion and the front pillar portion, is provided in the front fender portion. As a result, a superior steering feel and roll feeling are ensured. In addition, to avoid a reduction in collision safety, a bead shape is provided to allow for a structure which is easily deform able in a collision.

    4. Floor Pan


      1. The No. 3 center floor reinforcement is located so as to connect the right and left of the front side installation portion of the rear suspension member sub-assembly in a straight line, thus ensuring a high level of rigidity at the load point. As a result, superior maneuvering stability has been achieved.

      2. Spot welding points between the front center floor pan and center floor pan, the No. 2 center floor cross member and center floor pan and the No. 1 rear floor cross member and center floor pan are optimally positioned, thus achieving superior maneuvering stability.

      3. The thickness of the center floor pan has been increased, thus achieving superior maneuvering stability, riding comfort and quietness.
