Design

Independent, 3-link, MacPherson struts with gas-filled shock absorbers, adaptive damping system, automatically changing the rigidity of the shock absorbers depending on the unevenness of the road, and ground clearance - depending on the speed. Anti-roll bar. Aluminum and steel elements are used

Rear suspension

Design

Independent 5-link, with gas-filled shock absorbers, adaptive damping system. Anti-roll bar. Aluminum and steel elements are used

Steering

Design

Rack and pinion, with hydraulic booster, speed-sensitive. Steering column - trauma-safe, telescopic, with a landing shift function and tilt adjustment
