virtually every system has been upgraded for this sedan and the improved ride and handling
is no exception. The vehicle height was lowered 12 mm in front and 6 mm in the rear for
improved steering response. Macpherson struts sit up front, supported by multilink coils in
the back. Stiffened body mounts, a softer ride rate, improved suspension geometry with a
raised roll center, and a retuned rear sway bar help pave the way for a smooth, controlled
ride. These drivetrain and suspension enhancements also contribute to the reduction of noise,
vibration, and harshness (Nvh). Drivers will appreciate a fun and sporty driving experience.
