The timing of the intake valve is designed to vary continuously, helping to deliver power across the entire rpm range in every gear.
All-wheel Drive That Feels Like Rear-wheel Drive
Under normal conditions, the engine´s power is split 40/60 to the front/rear, resulting in a rear-wheel drive-like feel. Traction 4™ automatically helps compensate for any difference in speed between the front and rear wheels; for instance, if a front wheel starts to slip, as happens under conditions like hard acceleration on a patch of ice or gravel, the engine´s power is automatically and seamlessly transferred to the rear axle and wheels to help regain traction.
Aluminum Suspension
An aluminum suspension improves overall handling agility by reducing unsprung weight—the total weight of components not supported by the suspension´s springs, including control arms, brake components, wheels and tires—along with increased strength to help with maneuvers through hard turns.
Sport-tuned Suspension
The X-TYPE Sport comes with a suspension system tuned with firmer, more aggressive settings. Combined with the available Dynamic Stability Control, the improved system provides quick response and exceptional handling throughout all types of driving maneuvers.
