Energy Absorbing - Bumpers

The front and the rear bumpers contain energy absorbers which are made of a polystyrene material. The energy absorbers are positioned between the bumper impact bar and the bumper fascia. The vehicle bumpers are designed to withstand a collision into a fixed barrier at 8 km/h (5 mph) with minimal damage. After absorbing the energy of a minor collision, these bumper system restore themselves to their original position.
