Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. These are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the seat and main and auxiliary instrument panel assembly of the four-seat and five-seat universal vehicle body provided in this application includes: a universal lower body assembly 1 and an upper body assembly 2.

[0043] The lower body assembly 1 has a universal seat hole group for selectively installing the four-seat version second-row seats 7 or the five-seat version second-row seats 13, and a universal instrument panel hole group for selectively installing the four-seat version sub-instrument panel 5 or the five-seat version sub-instrument panel 12.

[0044] The lower body assembly 1 can be welded from the floor assembly, front bulkhead assembly, left and right longitudinal beams, cross beams, and various reinforcing plates to form the skeleton of the body-in-white. The universal seat hole group and the universal instrument panel hole group are a series of holes of specific size and position stamped in the corresponding positions of the skeleton components, such as the floor at the second row of seats and the center channel, and some holes have pre-embedded welding nuts.
