Does the BMW X1 have air suspension?
1 Answers
No. Working principle: Automotive air suspension transmits data to sensors based on different road conditions. The collected signals are sent to the control unit, which performs calculations and issues commands. It then controls the air compression and exhaust to automatically extend or compress the springs, achieving the ideal elastic state. This helps reduce wind resistance and fuel consumption while enhancing vehicle stability during driving. Advantages: It can adjust the stiffness and height of the suspension according to the needs of different terrains. For example, for sporty driving, it can be set stiffer and lower, while for off-roading, it can be set higher and softer. Disadvantages: It cannot guarantee the precise wheel alignment position in each mode, and the wear on tires may vary under different modes. Additionally, air suspension is costly, and repair expenses can be very high if it gets damaged.
