Body Structure

Lightweight and Highly Rigid Body

1. High-strength Sheet Steel





^ High-strength sheet steel is provided on the '08 LX 570 in an effort to reduce the vehicle weight while increasing the rigidity.

^ High-strength sheet steel is used in the pillar reinforcements, floor reinforcements and rocker members. As a result, high-strength sheet steel makes up 33% of body shell mass.

Frame





A high-strength, high-rigidity, axial-compression collision safety frame structure is used. This frame structure helps minimize frame buckling as much as possible, and considerably reduces the amount of offset between the load application point and the frame buckling point when a collision occurs.
