SUSPENSION

Features

•  To Improve rigidity and handling stability:
―  A strut type front suspension adopted.
―  Multi-link rear suspension adopted.
―  For the front/rear crossmembers, the welded flange has been eliminated (flange-less), the cross-section expanded and the connection rigidity of the welded parts improved to achieve both rigidity and light weight.
―  By adopting a 6-point rigid mount-type front crossmember, the force generated from the tires is transmitted directly, and an agile vehicle response in low-to-mid speed range has been realized.
―  The caster angle and caster trail was increased on the front suspension.
―  The cross-section on the center member of the front crossmember has been expanded and the longitudinal offset of the front lower arm installation position reduced to realize an optimized framework.
―  The longitudinal span of the rear crossmember has been expanded and the longitudinal offset of the rear lateral link installation position reduced to realize an optimized framework.
―  By raising the installation position of the rear trailing link, the longitudinal input has been reduced, ride comfort improved, and the sense of safety during braking improved.
•  To improve handling stability and ride comfort:
―  Positions of the links and rigidity of the bushes were reviewed to increase toe-in for the lateral force input to the tires.
―  Grip of the rear tires was increased by the increased toe-in, and a mild vehicle response in high-speed range has been realized.
•  To improve marketability:
―  Affixing-type balance weights adopted.
•  Tires with optimized characteristics and low rolling resistance have been adopted.
