A powertrain mount 10, 110, 210 includes a resilient mount 20, 120, 220 that is connected to a powertrain component 5 by a connecting arm 30, 130, 230. The resilient mount 20, 120, 220 is moveable by an actuator member 41, 141, 241 relative to a structural member 8, 300 of a motor vehicle in an opposite direction to a predicted displacement of the connecting arm 30, 130, 230 so as to reduce the displacement of the powertrain component 5 relative to a fixed point on the motor vehicle when the predicted displacement occurs. This reduces the final displacement of the powertrain component 5 relative to a fixed point on the motor vehicle when the predicted displacement occurs and allows the use of a softer resilient mount 20, 120, 220 than would otherwise be the case.
