The body is made of stamped steel. Most of the components are welded together, but some are seated with a special adhesive. The hood, doors and some other vulnerable panels are zinc coated and treated with a special primer to prevent paint peeling.
Some external components are made of plastic. The front and rear bumpers and grille are molded from a synthetic material that is very strong yet lightweight. Plastic components such as wheel arch liners improve the anti-corrosion performance of the body.
