Suspension and steering
Tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has been adopted to assist the driver in understanding the tire
status to improve the safety.
Front suspension
Newly developed, in-wheel type double-wishbone suspension has been adopted.
Relatively long arms promote linear alignment changes during bounce and rebound, realizing excellent
controllability at the vehicle handling limits in diverse road and driving conditions.
Rear suspension
Multi-link suspension employing five links per wheel has been adopted.
Excellent handling stability, ride comfort, and road noise performance have been realized by optimizing
each link arrangement in consideration of geometry and compliance in order to maintain the optimum tire
contact area at any time in the optimal condition against external forces during driving.
