    Combo’s basic shape comes close to the ideal droplet flow pattern. With the help of computer simulations and wind tunnel testing, aerodynamicists optimised the design to achieve a drag co-efficient of 0.35. The resultant low wind resistance benefits fuel consumption and safety is improved via optimised lift and downforce behaviour and crosswind stability.

    Aerodynamic detailing includes:
    • A flexible front lip beneath the bumper and a spoiler action rear wheel arch trim improve airflow around front and rear axles.
    • Spoiler lips integrated into the rear lights and upper tailgate create optimal airflow in this area.
    • A-pillar trim shape prevents rainwater flowing from the windscreen to side windows and reduces wind noise.
    • Engine hood is slightly raised at the rear to direct airflow over the wipers.
    • The gap between large outside mirrors and the body is closed by a rubber lip, which effectively keeps dirt off the side windows
    .
    Damage Control
    Combo is designed to reduce off-road downtime in the event of an accident.

    Its large unpainted bumpers can take parking knocks without suffering damage and their wrap-around corners also protect side panels. Side protection mouldings all round and plastic panels in the wheel arches further increase protection levels.
