NORMAL MODE WET MODE GRAVEL MODE MUD MODE
Balanced Throttle/AYC Anti-Hydroplane AYC High-Slip Traction Deep Throttle- Transmission Type: High-Efficiency Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
- Shift Logic: Adaptive Step-Shift programming (simulates stepped gear changes under aggressive wide-open throttle inputs to eliminate CVT rubber-banding)
- Drivetrain Layout: Front-Engine, Front-Wheel Drive (FF)
- Active Yaw Control (AYC):
- Integrates wheel-speed, steering-angle, yaw-rate, and lateral G-sensors to apply micro-braking forces to the inside front wheel during cornering.
- Reduces understeer and tightens cornering lines without driver intervention.
- 4-Mode Drive Selector Matrix:
- Normal Mode: Standard urban baseline balancing engine revs, EPS weighting, and standard AYC intervention.
- Wet Mode: Specifically tuned for tropical downpours; increases steering resistance and applies aggressive AYC brake-slip suppression to prevent hydroplaning and loss of traction during sudden puddles.
- Gravel Mode: Increases traction control thresholds to permit controlled wheelspin and sharpens yaw braking for stable high-speed unpaved gravel tracks.
- Mud Mode: Delays traction control cut-off, allowing wheelspin to clear mud treads while maintaining steady low-end torque delivery.
3. Chassis, Suspension, Geometry & Braking
The chassis is engineered for rough-road durability, featuring an increased caster trail angle, a fast-ratio steering rack, and large-diameter rear shock absorbers.
