Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004885

The capability of a vehicle's suspension and tires to maintain firm contact with the road surface, particularly during cornering and over uneven terrain. It describes how well a car grips the road, influencing its stability and handling response. Roadholding is evaluated through objective tests like lateral acceleration, measured in g-force on a skidpad, and subjective driver feedback during track testing.
