General description
The body is of welded steel construction available in 3 or 5-door Hatchback, 3 or 5- door Estate, soft-top Cabriolet, or Van configurations.
The body is of monocoque construction and is of energy-absorbing design.
Rust and corrosion protection is applied to all new vehicles and includes zinc phosphate dipping and wax injection of box sections and door interiors.
All body panels are welded, including the front wings, so it is recommended that major body damage repairs are left to your dealer.
