The suspension is all-coil, with anti-dive MacPherson struts at the front and a redesigned anti-lift torsion beam arrangement at the back. The U-shaped rear beam contains a built-in stabiliser bar and the gas-filled dampers use what Toyota calls "multi-leaf linear control" to control body lean when cornering yet still absorbing road shock. The rear suspension controls toe (the amount by which the wheel varies from a straight-ahead position) via specially designed bushes. Despite this, and all of Prius' ancilliary equipment, the rear load space retails a usefully flat floor.
