Vehicle Stability Assist and Motion Adaptive EPS

In slippery conditions, it's natural for drivers to react quickly and intuitively. Too often, this can lead to over-steering or under-steering and a subsequent loss of driver control.

Motion Adaptive EPS is an innovative feature of the Euro that works in combination with the Euro's Vehicle Stability Assist system. It smoothes out the steering in potentially dangerous situations, such as tight cornering or short braking, helping the driver steer in the correct direction and maintain full control.

Crisp shifting and brisk acceleration

With either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission, the Euro shifts easily from gear to gear. The powertrain harmony delivers the kind of acceleration that defines performance sedan.

 
 

Grade Logic and Shift Hold Control

When in automatic mode, the automatic transmission incorporates an advanced Grade Logic Control System and Shift Hold Control, both of which work to reduce gear 'hunting' and unnecessary changes.

 

Drive-By-Wire

The drive-by-wire throttle system replaces the conventional throttle cable with an all-electronic system, enabling better communication with the transmission for a smoother drive.
