Next time I'm at a rental lot, I've gotta peek under both a small and a large Toyota built on the TNGA platform to see how the front suspension is set up - specifically the angle and mounting height of the front upper control arm.
That angle tells you how much the car resists “nose-dive” when you hit the brakes (engineers call this “anti-dive”).
I bet Toyota kept the exact same mounting points and parts across small and large TNGA models to save costs (shared brackets, subframes, and “hard points”), the bigger/heavier cars might not get enough anti-dive. That would mean extra front-end dive under braking.
