Is the Mazda6 a body-on-frame vehicle?
1 Answers
Mazda6 is not a body-on-frame vehicle. Body-on-frame construction is commonly used in off-road vehicles and trucks. A body-on-frame design features a rigid chassis composed of longitudinal and cross beams running through the vehicle body, offering high strength, excellent torsional resistance, and strong bump absorption capability. In contrast, unibody construction lacks a separate frame, with the vehicle body itself serving as the mounting base for the powertrain and suspension, bearing all structural loads with high structural integrity. The Mazda6 is a mid-size sedan with a 4-door, 5-seater three-box body structure. Its dimensions are 4670mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1435mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675mm. The suspension system adopts a combination of double-wishbone independent suspension with stabilizer bar and multi-link independent suspension.
