Ride and handling are key vehicle characteristics related to its on-road behavior.
Handling is the vehicle's ability to maintain or change the intended direction under steering input and external factors. Good handling ensures precise vehicle response to driver commands and provides comfort and confidence in control.
Stability is the ability of the vehicle to remain balanced, avoid skidding, and not roll over during motion, especially in corners and under braking. It refers to the car's capacity to maintain its path and withstand external influences.
Braking is the process of reducing speed or bringing the vehicle to a stop.
Together, these three parameters determine how safe and comfortable a vehicle behaves while driving, maneuvering, and decelerating in emergency situations. They are closely interrelated and influence each other—for example, during abrupt braking, it is important to maintain handling and stability to prevent skidding or loss of control.
