Performance
1) Gasoline engine
1.5L i-VTEC engine which has a good balance of power and low fuel consumption. By adopting a direct injection engine that injects fuel directly into the cylinder to efficiently draw out greater power, both power and fuel efficiency are well balanced.
2) Dampers
- Performance dampers
This enhances the overall power of athletic performance. It reduces the bending and slight vibration of the car body that occurs while driving, and gently adjusts it to improve stability. It also contributes to ride comfort and raises the overall level of driving.
See How Performance Dampers work?
- Amplitude-sensitive dampers (Front/Rear)
These are to achieves both ride comfort and steering stability at the same time. It absorbs flexibly when the width of vibration is small such as on a rough road surface, and keeps a stable posture for large movements such as when cornering. Equipped with an "amplitude-sensitive damper" which characteristics changes according to the situation.
What is the Benefit Amplitude-sensitive dampers?
Owners benefit from dampers that are secure and tight feeling in corners, yet smooth and supple when cruising, for greater ride comfort.
Features:
These dampers have a second piston valve, enabling them to provide the right damping force for the driving condition. For example, road bumps will trigger lower damping forces for a more compliant ride quality, while tight cornering will produce higher damping forces for sportier turning with less body roll.
3) VGR (Variable Steering Gear Ratio)
Seeking direct handling performance for the driver's will. Uses VGR (variable steering gear ratio) that changes the turning angle of the tire according to the amount of steering operation. Obtained a crisp turning performance in cornering.
4) Real-time AWD
5) Cornering is also powerful and refreshing.
6) Easy to drive and easy to handle
The minimum turning radius is 5.3m for ease of handling on narrow streets and intersections in the city.*
