Zone Body construction means passengers sit in a reinforced occupant zone, incorporating front and rear crushable zones to help protect in the event of a collision. Zone body construction optimizes Cefiro's structural design and material selection.
Use of high-strength steel in key structural portions of the body assembly enhances structural rigidity. Enhanced structural rigidity helps reduce noise and improves handling and durability.
Front and rear crumple zones absorb impact energy, helping to reduce the risk of injury to passengers by helping to maintain passenger compartment structural integrity.
One solid frame is welded together to make a whole body structure, creating an extremely safe cabin and sub-frame.
Torsional rigidity has been increased by 30%. This contributes to best-in-class NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels.
Extensive use of noise-dampening materials throughout the new Cefiro. The pitch of the engine noise in the cabin is now more conductive to quiet conversation. Noise and vibration during idling and acceleration have been reduced.
