Vehicle Outline
Exterior design
•Sporty and smart styling with an athletic high quality.
Interior design
•Spacious legroom in the second and third-row seats.
•A storage space with a high quality feel and utility.
•Safety assured feel of the large-sized panel from the center panel to the console.
Engine
•Engine block
—Variable valve timing that optimally adjusts valve timing in accordance with driving conditions has been
adopted.
—An aluminum-alloy cylinder head and cylinder block have been adopted.
—Shimless tappets have been adopted to minimize friction losses, thereby contributing to improved fuel
economy.
—An auto-tensioner that automatically adjusts the belt to compensate for stretching has been adopted to
minimize maintenance requirements.
•Intake, exhaust, control
—Weight reduction has been achieved due to a hard-plastic dynamic chamber.
—Maximum torque is achieved at all engine speeds due to the adoption of a variable valve timing system that
controls intake valve timing in accordance with driving conditions to attain highly efficient air charging.
—An electronic throttle valve has been adopted resulting in precise intake air control.

Suspension
•Front suspension
—A strut-type front suspension has been adopted.
—Due to the tight connection of the six-point rubber mounts to the body, high handling stability and improved
riding comfort is provided together with low NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) with no loss of mount
rigidity.

•Rear suspension
—An E-type multi-link rear suspension has been adopted.
—Link layout has been optimized to control the rear wheel alignment appropriately against the external force.
—A wider luggage compartment is ensured due to the separated positioning of the shock absorber and coil
spring.
—Also due to the separated positioning of the shock absorber and coil spring, side force on the shock
absorber is reduced so that the suspension system operates smoothly and riding comfort is improved.
—Setting the trailing links at the front in a higher installation position controls nose dive during braking and
has improved handling stability. As a result, tire road-hold has been improved, and excellent cornering
performance and handling stability has been realized.

Brakes
•A brake pedal with an intrusion minimizing mechanism has been adopted. As a result, driver safety has been
improved.
•A small diameter long-stroke type master cylinder has been adopted, improving operability and response.
•A large diameter, single diaphragm power brake unit has been adopted, improving braking force.
•High rigidity, 2-piston front brake calipers have been adopted on the front brakes for improved braking
performance.
•Large diameter, ventilated discs have been adopted on the front and rear disc brakes for improved braking
force.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)/Roll stability control (RSC)
•The DSC/RSC HU/CM, integrating both the hydraulic unit (HU) and control module (CM), has been adopted,
resulting in a size and weight reduction.
•A combined sensor, integrating both the yaw rate sensor, roll rate sensor, forward-G sensor and lateral-G
sensor, has been adopted, improving serviceability.

Automatic transaxle
•The AW6A(X)-EL automatic transaxle is a compact, lightweight, next-generation electronically controlled FF 6-
speed automatic transaxle that employs a Ravigneaux-type planetary gear. It employs a high-precision clutch
hydraulic control system for smooth, highly responsive gear shift feel.

Power Steering
•With the adoption of an engine speed sensing power steering mechanism, handling stability has been
improved.
•With the adoption, for all vehicles, of a steering column with a tilt mechanism, operability has been improved.
•With the adoption of a steering shaft with an energy absorbing mechanism, safety has been improved.
Safety
•The adoption of the triple-H, strenghtened frames on the floor, sides and roof areas provides enhanced
protection.
•Injuries in a pedestrian-vehicle collision are minimized by the increased space between the hood and engine.
•Dual-inflator type air bags that control deployment of the air bags in two stages by detecting the scale of an
impact have been adopted for front-seat passengers.
•Side air bags that effectively protect the chest area have been adopted for the front seats.
•Large curtain air bags have been adopted that deploy and cover the front and rear side windows to protect the
heads of the front and rear passengers.
•Pre-tensioner and load limiter mechanisms have been adopted for the front seat belts.
•An immobilizer system has been adopted. This anti-theft device prevents the engine from being started unless
the encrypted identification code, transmitted from a special electronic chip embedded in the key, corresponds
with the identification code registered in the vehicle.
