Hydroforming is used on high strength steel to give the unitary body structure the feel of traditional ladder frame architecture.

Sophisticated electronics, as capable as they may be, need a firm underpinning to function properly. Appropriately, Land Rover engineers have combined car-like handling with truck-like rigidity by employing an Integrated Body-frame. Hydroforming, which limits the use of welds and gives designers more control over frame thickness and design, is used on high strength steel to give the unitary body structure the feel of a traditional ladder frame architecture. At the corners, the double-wishbone fully independent suspension includes height adjustable air springs to provide balance and stability. Rack-and-pinion steering yields a precise steering feel not always found in sport utility vehicles.
