Honda's new flexible chassis design promises better handling

Auto Nov 12, 2025

Honda is rolling out a new flexible chassis design in 2027, moving away from the old stiff frames commonly seen.
Instead of just focusing on rigidity, Honda's new approach lets the front of cars like the Odyssey, Civic, and CR-V flex during turns.
This means better handling and more control when you're behind the wheel.

The design also improves manufacturing efficiency

This design isn't just about smoother rides—it's also safer.
Tested in Ohio and Japan, it works with advanced tire tech and Honda's Motion Management System for extra stability.
Plus, by using up to 60% of the same parts across different models, Honda makes manufacturing more efficient.
Bottom line: expect sharper steering, comfier interiors, and a driving experience that feels fresh—without sacrificing safety.
