Spot Welding
An increased number of spot welding points are provided throughout the body, increasing the connectivity of the panels and ensuring superior driving stability (yaw response, rear grip feeling, steering response and hand feedback).

The overload capacity has increased compared to a conventional vehicle by increasing the height of the side rail cross section (*d in illustration). Also, as a result, a sufficient strength is ensured even against a strong force from road impact.

The crossmember and side rail connectivity is strengthened and a highly rigid frame structure is created by using all round welding at each crossmember and side rail welding spot.
