Body Structure
OUTLINE

1. Outline
! The Legacy’s body structure is of a semi-monocoque design mainly consisting of press-formed
steel sheets welded together.
! A combination of longitudinal frames and annulous frames arranged like a cage forms both a
crushable zone that collapses in a controlled manner in the event of a collision (thus absorbing the
impact force) and a rigid cabin that is highly resistant to deformation stresses (thus maintaining a
survival space for the occupants).
