GENERAL INFORMATION

Newly developed H-shaped torsion beam type sus-
pension has been introduced.
•The coil spring is installed under the rear floor,
the torsion beam and arm assembly is installed in
front of the spare tyre house, and the shock
absorber is installed outside, so that the large
cabin space is achieved.
•The arm bushing with the toe control function is
adopted to optimise the tyre steering angle using
the bushing deflection caused by lateral force
and longitudinal force generated at cornering, so
that the good cornering performance is secured.
•The layout of shock absorber is optimised for
smooth riding.
•Long wheel stroke secures sufficient road holding
quality.
•The hub-integrated unit bearing is adopted for the
wheel bearing for sufficient suspension rigidity
(Refer to GROUP 27, Rear Axle
P.27-2).
•The dumping characteristic of shock absorber
has been changed. <4G1>
•The urethane bump stopper has been adopted to
improve the linearity. <4G1>
•Torsion beam rigidity has been improved <4G1>

FEATURES
WEIGHT REDUCTION AND HIGH RIGID-
ITY
•Application ranges of high tension steel plate,
antirust steel plate, and uneven thickness steel
plate have been expanded.
•The upper frame outer and front pillar connection
has been strengthened by adopting the upper
frame-to-front pillar brace.
•The radius of each opening corner for the doors
and tailgate has been enlarged.
•Cowl top lower panel and spring house panel are
directly joined for higher rigidity.
•Strut tower bar has been adopted <4G1>.
•A front suspension axle side plate has been
adopted <4G1>.
•The air outlet garnish has been installed to the
hood, improving the sporty image and cooling
efficiency in the engine compartment. <4G1>
REDUCTION OF VIBRATION, NOISE, AND
AERODYNAMIC NOISE
•Straight frame structure has been adopted.
•Curved front floor and uneven thickness steel
plate have been adopted.
•Rigidity of the suspension installation part has
been improved.
IMPROVEMENTS IN SAFETY
•RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) has
been used for the main body.
•Features a side door beam to boost safety upon
side impact.
•Direct combination key cylinder and inside lock
cables for the front doors have been adopted to
improve safety upon impact.
IMPROVEMENTS IN OPERATION
QUALITY
•The central door locking system, which
locks/unlocks all the doors and the tailgate, is
adopted.
•"P" position shift linked door-unlock function has
been introduced to the central door locking sys
-
tem(F1C1A).
IMPROVEMENTS OF PRODUCT
PACKAGE AND APPEARANCE
•Rigidity of door sash bottom section has been
improved.
•By improving the engaging sound between the
door latch and striker, the door locking sound
quality has been enhanced.
•UV & heat protect glass has been used for the
windshield.
•UV-reducing glass has been used for the front
door window glasses and rear door window
glasses.
•Privacy glasses have been used for rear door
window glasses, quarter window glasses, and
tailgate window glass (Option).
•Multi-mode keyless entry system (with door mir-
ror retraction/return control function) has been
adopted.
•Protector film has been attached on side sill
.
•Sunroof has been installed (Option).

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER PLANT MOUNT32-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2320000100663
An inertia main shaft 3-point support type has been
adopted as an engine mount system, which has the
following features.
•By optimising the 3-point mount layout, the idling
vibration and acceleration noise are decreased
drastically.
•The transmission mounting insulator is built into
the body side member in order to absorb the
vibration transmitted from the engine efficiently.
•By connecting the engine roll stopper rod assem-
bly to the high-rigidity front axle No.1 crossmem-
ber, the vibration transmitted from the engine is
decreased.
