Too Afraid to Ask

Unibody means the car’s frame and body are one piece. It makes cars lighter and better on roads.

Technical Definition

Unibody construction integrates the vehicle’s frame and body into a single structure, reducing weight and improving handling but offering less ruggedness than body‑on‑frame.
