Does the Elysion Have Independent Suspension?
1 Answers
The Elysion's front suspension is an independent suspension, while the rear suspension is not independent. This model uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension for the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension for the rear. More details about the torsion beam suspension are as follows: 1. The torsion beam suspension is a common non-independent suspension in vehicles, just as the MacPherson suspension is a common independent suspension. The MacPherson suspension is the simplest, most widely used, and lowest-cost independent suspension. 2. The MacPherson suspension has only one L-shaped control arm, which does not occupy much engine compartment space. Therefore, many front-transverse-engine vehicles use MacPherson front suspension. 3. Common independent suspensions in vehicles include MacPherson suspension, double-wishbone suspension, double-ball-joint suspension, double-lateral-arm suspension, and multi-link suspension. Common non-independent suspensions include torsion beam suspension and solid axle suspension. 4. The torsion beam is the simplest non-independent suspension, with a compact design and minimal space occupation. Using a torsion beam for the rear suspension can expand rear passenger space and trunk space, which is crucial for MPV models.
