| The body panels of Santana 3000 are processed on automatic press lines to reduce possible surface scratches or material deformations. Mechanical manipulators are used to feed materials and discard scraps to prevent sheet metals from bending or deformation that impairs the galvanization coating, and in this way the anti-corrosion properties are enhanced for the bodywork. |
 |
The flanging occlusion process is used to the joining of the interior and exterior panels of doors, bonnet and boot, with edge-folding glue applied to them afterwards. Impact bars are fitted to the front and rear doors coupled with double sealing to prevent noise, moisture and dust from coming into the vehicle. |
|
| Advanced cavity waxing technology is applied to Santana 3000. SVW is the first carmaker in China to introduce the cavity waxing technology. That is, at the end of the painting processes, certain amount of liquid wax is injected into the 4 working cavities at the bottom of the bodywork. Through a series of working processes, a protective layer is evenly formed on the cavity surfaces out of 3 kilograms of wax to the best anti-corrosion effect. |

McPherson suspension is used on the front axle. Consisting of spiral spring, stabilizer bar, suspension arm and other parts, McPherson suspension is generally used on cars today. The biggest advantage is that it increases the space between the two wheels and makes it easy to arrange parts like engines, etc. |
|
| Materials of advanced technology, such as point welding sealer, edge-folding glue, reinforced supporting adhesives, etc. are used for the body-making processes, to ensure that the body is of a good tightness, dust proof, noise and heat insulating, and both stoning and impact resistant, with visible exterior gaps of only 4 ~ 6 mm. |
 |
Hollow and ventilated disks are used for the front brake, as such a brake has effective heat dissipation and can automatically make up for the braking clearance with a good thermal and aqueous stability. |
|
Optimization has been made to the structural designs of the front panel, Pillar A, Pillar B, Pillar D, the roof, hat rack, rear partition panel, rear longitudinal beam, rear fender, rear wheel cover, floor and doorsill, so as to fundamentally improve their noise insulation, vibration isolation, shielding and tightness. By doing so the interior noise has been greatly reduced and the riding comfort noticeably enhanced. |
