FEATURES


  1. OUTLINE


    1. A Rear-Wheel Drive Package with Super-Low Center of Gravity


      1. A rear-wheel drive package with a super-low center of gravity has been adopted in order to achieve a low center of gravity, low inertia, compactness, and weight reduction.

      2. A design has been adopted that locates the power unit in the front midship, and front/rear weight distribution has been optimized.

    2. The FA20 Engine


      1. The FA20 engine is a 2.0-liter, 16-valve, DOHC, Boxer, 4-cylinder gasoline engine.

      2. This engine uses the Direct injection 4-stroke gasoline engine Superior version (D-4S) and variable valve timing control. These systems achieve improved engine performance, fuel economy and clean emissions.

      1. Aerodynamic performance has been improved with the adoption of aerodynamic sandwich*.

        Tech Tips

        *: This is a technique that uses air currents above, below, and on either side of the vehicle to sandwich it, which helps improve handling stability without negatively affecting the vehicle's drag coefficient.
