Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure (All)
What’s the Benefit?
The ACE body structure is designed to enhance occupant protection in a frontal crash, making for greater driver confidence.
The Feature:
The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.
Enhanced frontal crash-energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment and can help to more evenly disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles in a crash.
The design also helps reduce the potential for misalignment with the frame of an opposing vehicle, whether it is large or small.
Additional structural elements are engineered to enhance vehicle performance in small overlap frontal collisions.
