Front wheels react independently to changes in road surface, providing a smoother ride, and optimum driver control. McPherson strut-type suspension helps provide greater durability.

Independently sprung wheels help keep tires perpendicular to the ground for optimum traction. Separation between springs and shock absorbers improves suspension performance.

The location, design, and diameter of the stabilizer bars help keep the vehicle level during cornering and sudden lateral moves, such as crash avoidance maneuver, for improved handling and driver control.

Power-assist increases at low engine rpm for ease of steering during low-speed maneuvers. It decreases as engine speed increases for more road feel at higher speeds.

Based on input from various sensors, VDC helps maintain vehicle directional stability by controlling the amount of engine power and/or applying brake pressure to individual wheels as needed.

Nissan Super HICUS makes slight adjustments in the angle of rear tires to provide more agility at lower speeds - and greater stability and control at higher speeds.

Use of high-strength steel in key structural portions of the body assembly enhances structural rigidity. Enhanced structural rigidity helps reduce noise and helps improve handling and durability.

Weld-bonding (structural adhesive) is used around all door openings, inner fenders, and other major body panels, enhancing structural rigidity.
