Does the Chery Arrizo 7 have independent suspension?
2 Answers
Chery Arrizo 7 features independent suspension, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. Independent suspension means that each wheel on either side is individually suspended under the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. Most modern cars adopt independent suspension systems, which can be further categorized into transverse arm, longitudinal arm, multi-link, candle, and MacPherson suspension systems based on their structural differences. The Chery Arrizo 7 measures 4652mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1483mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Its engine delivers a maximum power of 93kW.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've studied the chassis of the Arrizo 7 in depth. This car features independent suspension both front and rear: MacPherson strut in the front and multi-link in the rear. The MacPherson design is simple and space-saving, making the steering feel particularly light and responsive. The rear multi-link suspension is even more impressive – when driving over rough roads, each wheel moves independently, keeping the body as stable as a cradle. During my test drive, I deliberately sought out some rough terrain, and the rear seat bumpiness was reduced by half compared to non-independent torsion beam suspensions. Another advantage of independent suspension is better tire contact with the road, providing more stable braking in rainy conditions. However, maintenance costs are slightly higher due to the increased number of linkage components. Many joint-venture cars in the same price range skimp on this configuration, so Chery's approach here is quite commendable.
