Suzuki HEARTECT platform
The HEARTECT platform is an automobile platform that underpins various Suzuki models since 2014.
Construction
The platform is claimed to utilize "Advanced High Tensile Steel" and "Ultra High Tensile Steel", which are intended to increase occupant safety in case of a collision. Suzuki also claims that the platform offers increased body stiffness, allowing for better ride quality and handling. Additionally, via a reduction in weight of up to 30 kg (66 lb), the platform helps achieve an improved power to weight ratio.
The platform is shown to utilize MacPherson strut front suspension.
