Especially, the door side part of Cactus is notable. The ‘Air Bump’ placed at the bottom of head lamps and rear lamps absorbs the shock occurred within 4km/h to protect the body.

In terms of the front of the body, the radiator girlle cannot be found but air intakes are placed at the bottom of the bumper. Through it, air resistance is reduced and the sense of unity is enhanced. LED daytime running lights can be seen through head lamps which have unique position as they are located at the center of the bumper.

In terms of the side, black-ended A pillar and the details of the top of the C pillar give an effect to look as if the roof were floated. A strong and off-roader image is given by large wheels and the black wheel house. In terms of the rear part, different materials from the body are used for the trunk lid and the top of the bumper to remove simpleness.
