The rear suspension features a "torsion beam" with high-strength steel trailing arms and a Panhard rod. In addition to ensuring first-class comfort and handling, this remarkably compact set-up permits a flat, functional floor. Its disassociation from the body shell allows it to filter out road-generated vibrations efficiently while carrying heavy loads. The use of spring/damper units combined with a load and rideheight sensing device completes the picture.
