REAR SUSPENSION OUTLINE

id021400100100

• An E-type multi-link rear suspension, has been adopted.

• The rear suspension design includes a link layout that provides both handling stability and riding comfort, and creates suitable camber control characteristics.

• E-type multi-link rear suspension arm/link layout is similar link layout to that of the conventional multi-link rear suspension, except for the separated layout of shock absorber and coil spring.

• The coil spring and shock absorber have been separated, and the coil spring is held between the rear crossmember and rear lower arm. This enables the shock absorber and the coil spring to be located closer together for a lower and flatter passenger cabin floor.

• The separated layout of shock absorber and coil spring eliminates friction between the two parts. Also, shock absorber side force is reduced so the suspension system operates smoothly and riding comfort is improved.
