Can't help it
Buggy because the chassis is high
It is prone to rollover when cornering at high speeds and rolls too much
For example, the world-renowned classic off-road "god car" Prado
More than a decade ago, it had the title of "Rollover King"
The carrying also affected the Lexus GX on the same platform at the time
And the advent of KDSS
Very good solution to this rollover problem

KDSS is simply a dynamic suspension system
How does the system work?
Basically, it can be understood as being based on the original car
There is an additional set of balance bars that can be self-adjusting damping
The system consists of balance bars connected to the front and rear suspensions
The hydraulic cylinder system and the two-way hydraulic circuit are composed
When driving on the road, especially when turning at high speeds
Suspension stroke can be well suppressed
Improves stiffness and anti-roll
At the same time the accumulator in the hydraulic circuit
It also absorbs some suspension vibrations
This improves ride comfort
Off-road, the hydraulic cylinder on the balance lever floats up and down
It is also possible to loosen the restrictions on the suspension, thereby increasing the suspension stroke
Make the tires fit better on the ground and improve the vehicle's ability to pass
It is worth noting
KDSS is hydraulically driven and operates automatically
Given the comprehensive performance that KDSS brings
Many riders say Prado or Land Cruiser with and without KDSS
In terms of driving experience, it is completely two cars

And used on the LC300
E-KDSS is an evolutionary upgrade of KDSS

This GIF can be clearly seen in the same rough road conditions
The different states of the occupants in the LC200 and LC300 vehicles are different
This is actually Toyota to show the difference between the two
At the heart of KDSS is one more set
Hydraulically adjustable balance bar
And the front and rear suspension balance bars are connected by hydraulic circuits
It is purely mechanical and automatic
The E-KDSS adds ECU originals
Also the control of the front balance lever
From the original single hydraulic cylinder to a double-sided hydraulic cylinder
At the same time, the front and rear balance bars are no longer connected in series through the loop
In short, through the ECU
Actively and individually control the front and rear balance bar status
For example, in the highway high-speed driving state
The ECU can be based on the driver's steering action
Directly lock the front and rear balance bars to suppress the suspension movement
This greatly increases the lateral support
In layman's terms, it is to reduce the cornering roll
This allows us to turn faster and more comfortably
In off-road condition, the balance bar unlocks
The hydraulic cylinders on both sides can float up and down
The suspension stroke was released
Thanks to the E-KDSS's easy control of the suspension
LC300 suspension stroke equipped with E-KDSS
Compared with the LC200, it has increased by 30mm
Don't underestimate this 30mm, play off-road are all understood
In complex terrain, the suspension travel is even 10 mm short
Both can have a big impact on passability
Finally, there is the impact of occupant comfort on rough roads
Three hydraulic cylinders on the front and rear balance bars
It can indeed be understood as a set of sub-shocks
Capable of absorbing a portion of suspension vibrations
But in the same environment
LC200 Crazy Swing LC300 but steady as an old dog
This gap is somewhat exaggerated, and it is not excluded that there is an element of deduction
What do you think about that?
