The engine drives the rear wheels via an enclosed driveshaft and either a rear-mounted six-speed manual or automatic transmission, and rear independent driveaxles.
Suspension is independent at all four wheels. The front end consists of upper and lower control arms, shock absorbers, a stabilizer bar and a composite transverse spring. The rear suspension uses upper and lower control arms, a toe-link, shock absorbers, a composite transverse spring and a stabilizer bar. The rack-and-pinion steering unit is mounted on the front subframe.
The brakes are disc at the front and rear, with power assist standard. An Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is standard on all models.
