All the Sedans have larger tread than the previous model for enhanced handling stability.
2. STRUTS

performance. They improve ride quality and reduce vibration and noise.

The coil spring of each strut is arranged in an "S" form so that friction generated in the strut is
minimized and riding comfort is improved.
