FRONT CROSSMEMBER CONSTRUCTION

• A lightweight, highly rigid front crossmember with integrated side members has been adopted.
• The transverse member is attached to the back of the front crossmember to create a highly rigid square
construction.
• This front crossmember component is rigidly mounted to the vehicle body at eight points, providing an
extremely large amount of suspension support stiffness and alignment precision.
