Improved driveability

•  Bell-shaped constant velocity joint adopted for wheel-side joint of front and rear drive shaft

•  Tripod-shaped constant velocity joint adopted for differential-side joint of front drive shaft

•  Double offset-shaped constant velocity joint adopted for differential-side joint of rear drive shaft (4WD)

Improved rigidity, reduced noise and vibration

•  Characteristics of front drive shaft optimized

•  Constant velocity joint type rear drive shaft adopted (4WD)

•  3-part, 4-joint type propeller shaft with middle shaft bearing has been adopted (4WD)

Improved off-road mobility, handling stability and marketability

•  Electronic 4WD control system adopted (4WD)

Size and weight reduction

•  Rear differential with an integrated coupling component adopted (4WD)

•  Aluminum differential carrier adopted (4WD)

Improved serviceability

•  Self diagnostic function adopted for electronic 4WD control system (4WD)

•  A maintenance-free transfer has been adopted (4WD)
