Abstract
A suspension system for an engine includes an engine mount and an electronic control unit. The engine mount has spring characteristics that are switchable between first spring characteristics and second spring characteristics. The electronic control unit is configured to switch the spring characteristics of the engine mount to the first spring characteristics when the rotational speed of the engine is lower than a predetermined rotational speed, and torque of the engine is equal to or larger than a predetermined torque. The electronic control unit is configured to switch the spring characteristics of the engine mount to the second spring characteristics when the rotational speed of the engine is lower than the predetermined rotational speed, and the torque of the engine is smaller than the predetermined torque.
