4WD's can be made to pitch on choppy surfaces, but the suspension effectively insulates the passengers from corrugations. Firmer damping might help here, but it is easy to keep the back behind the front. The lower arms and suspension cross member are the first low points in ground clearance, with a chassis cross-member and the fuel tank further back. Rear suspension is by live axle, five links and coil springs. Hi is selected by a rotary switch on the dash and with the clutch depressed.
Brakes are discs all round, with ABS and traction control.
Stomping on the stop-pedal in the rain or on gravel brings the Korando to a halt in a straight line, with just a little feedback and noise from the ABS system doing its job. While on safety features, the driver has an SRS air-bag. The handbrake acts on drums within the rear discs. There was no similar effect in reverse. The handbrake does need a good deal of force before it will hold the car on a steep bush track.
