safety cell construction

  • Integrated body structure designed to work as a system to provide protection for occupants. Its major design features include:
  • Front-end structure with a reinforced sub frame to provide energy absorption
  • Cross cowl beam that helps provide an additional mounting point for the steering column and airbag mountings, reducing their movement in the event of a frontal impact
  • High-strength side door intrusion beams
  • Sheet metal at the front and rear corners that collapses progressively and predictably to dissipate some of the energy of an impact.
