SUSPENSION


id020000100400


Features

•  Strut type front suspension and multi-link type rear suspension have been adopted.
•  For the front/rear 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 front 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.
•  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.
•  Positions of the links and rigidity of the bushes were reviewed to increase toe-in for the lateral force input to the tires.
•  Caster angle and caster trail have been increased on the front suspensions to enhance the handling stability.
•  Grip of the rear tires was increased by the increased toe-in, and a mild vehicle response in high-speed range has been realized.
•  Tire pressure monitoring system has been adopted.
•  Affixing-type balance weights has been adopted.
•  Tires with optimized characteristics and low rolling resistance have been adopted.
