SUSPENSION


id020000100400


Features

•  Adhesive-type balance weights have been adopted for the outer balance weight of the aluminum alloy wheels.
•  Tires with optimized characteristics and low rolling resistance have been adopted.
•  Strut-type front suspensions and torsion beam axle-type rear suspensions have been adopted.
•  For the front crossmember, flanges of the welded parts have been eliminated (flange-less), the cross-section has been expanded, and the connection rigidity of the welded parts have been improved, achieving both rigidity and light weight.
•  6-point rigid mount-type crossmember has been adopted to achieve the quick response at the low-to-mid speed range.
•  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 has been reduced to realize an optimized framework.
•  Caster angle and caster trail have been increased on the front suspensions to enhance the handling stability.
•  Ride comfort and stability during braking have been enhanced by raising the rear trailing arm installation position and reducing the longitudinal input to the rear suspension.
