REAR SUSPENSION OUTLINE
• A multi-link suspension composed of five links has been adopted.
• The links have been lengthened and optimally positioned. Due to this, they constantly provide ideal geometry
to respond to external forces applied during driving, improving handling stability and riding comfort, and
reducing road noise.
