• The engine is supported at the following three points: front part of the engine (No.3 engine mounting), one side of the transaxle (No.1 engine mounting), and rear upper part of the transaxle (No.4 engine mounting). The supporting point at the side of the transaxle (No.1 engine mounting) has been set at the lowest edge of the transaxle. With this layout, No.1 engine mounting absorbs the rotation force, generated under the engine torque fluctuation and transmitted to the powertrain, and distributes the rotation force to the front and rear part of the engine (pendulum).
