Ignition system without distributor (three twin ignition coils).
Manual Transmission has four or five fully synchronized gears, the selection of which is carried out by means of a handle connected to the box by a system of rods and levers. Cars can also be equipped with an automatic transmission (AKP).
Steering rack and pinion type with variable gear ratio. The steering is equipped with an amplification device.
Front suspension independent type on MacPherson struts. consisting of springs and shock absorbers. All models use a stabilizer bar.
Rear suspension made in the form of levers with spring and telescopic shock absorbers and an open-loop cross member. Trailing arms are attached to the body through rubber-metal bushings.
The braking system includes:
Front disc brakes.
- Rear drum or disc brakes.
- brake compensator.
- vacuum booster.
- Hand brake on the rear wheels.
- Anti-lock braking system can be optionally installed (ABS).
All-wheel drive installed on some vehicles (Quattro modification) includes additional units: a rear differential and two drive shafts, a cardan shaft and an additional differential between the front and rear wheels, instead of a solid rear axle, a double wishbone rear suspension is used.
