Unibody vehicles are composed of a single unit by welding together pressed parts made of steel panels. Each panel is stamped and welded to the other panels in order to form a structure. The unibody structure has the strength and the durability to perform as a body and as a frame.

Following a collision, visually inspect the entire vehicle for damage. In a collision, damage may spread beyond the point of impact.
