Default Which material are use to build the xc90?

I was thinking about the fact that modern car usually use plast and plast fiber to build some part of the car because they are lighter.

Is there any part of the xc90 like door etc, that are make in plast or in a lighter material than metal, steal?

The xc90 weight a lot 2 ton so i suposse that all the part are made in metal


regards

I'd of thought the doors are still made of steel but the bonnet and tailgate will be aluminium
