GENERAL INFORMATION
M2340000100825
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>

•COLT has been equipped with the new 1,500 mL
aluminium die-cast engine (4A9-engine) for fur
-
ther refinements of comfort driving, excellent
power performance, fuel economy, and ecology
performance.

•The body and suspension of COLT RALLIART
Version-R have been thoroughly tuned to
increase the 4G1-engine output which enables
dynamic driving.
•The robust image suited for the dynamic driving
has been adopted for the appearance.

ACTIVE DRIVING AND HIGH QUALITY
•For 4A9-engine, the aluminium die-cast cylinder
block has been installed for weight reduction of
the vehicle.
•For 4G1-engine, turbo-charger model has been
introduced to increase output and torque,
enhancing sporty image.
•Sporty driving has been ensured by the
"GETRAG" 5-speed manual transmission (floor
shift).
•The suspension has been tuned to improve cor-
nering and stability at high speed. Version-R>
•A strut tower bar has been adopted to improve
the body rigidity.
•Electric power steering system has been
improved and EPS-ECU has been additionally
equipped with the return control logic, resulting in
superior steering wheel return control and better
steering feel equal to or better than that for other
models with hydraulic power steering.

•The
active st ability control syst em (ASC) has the
st ab ility control and t he traction control (TCL)
fun ctio ns. By the integra ted control with th e
ant i-lock b rake system, the system stabilizes th e
ve hicle attitu de and at the same time secures the
drivin g force.
•When the st ability control fun ction dete rmin es
tha t the vehicle is in a dangerou s condition, it
redu ces the e ngine outpu t and a pplies b rake
force to f our wheels indepe ndently to control th e
ve hicle be haviour, avoiding the critical state.
•The tract ion control (TCL) fun ction prevent s the
drivin g wheel slip on a slippery road sur face,
ensurin g easy st artup, an d at the same time,
secure s proper drivin g force and improves ste er
