Rear suspension
Each rear wheel is guided by five independent multilink. These levers allow only the movement of the wheel, which does not degrade ride quality. By placing arms in a certain way, the designers got opportunities to reach a compromise between the high road performance and comfort. It is not so simple, because the setting is too soft suspension ride quality deteriorate due to manifestations of the so-called rudder effect (co-management) of the rear wheels. By contrast, passengers always complain if the suspension is too stiff.

All items are fixed to the rear suspension subframe 10 wide (Fig. 7.5), which is fixed to the underbody at four large rubber supports. In the middle of the sub-frame mounted differential 5. All five arms (spring, pulling, pushing, and the collapse of the diagonal) on both sides are fixed by resilient connections to the subframe and the wheel suspension. Advantages of the rear axle multilink: 1. Together with the front suspension, double wishbone provided with driving characteristics, minimal reliance on the impact side, braking and driving forces. 2. Although the suspension has a big move to its middle there is almost no side effects (widening or changes in the angle of convergence). The result is a magnificent straight. 3. A negative value collapse provides good cornering power of the wheels. Throughout the course of the suspension camber does not take a positive value. 4. At 60% fluctuation aligned rear arising during braking and acceleration. Because of this it is not lifted during braking and during acceleration sags. 5. Due to the three-tier insulation with elastic rubber elements between the wheels and the body in the cabin is almost inaudible noise chassis. 6. Reduced response to changing loads. For example, when the sudden release of "gas" in turn is a decrease in the resistance of cornering radius. 7. Install the wheel is adjusted with adjustable levers.
