Does the Teana have independent suspension?
2 Answers
Teana is equipped with independent suspension, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link trapezoidal control arm rear suspension. Below are detailed introductions to these two suspension types: Characteristics and applications of MacPherson independent suspension: The MacPherson independent suspension is one of many suspension systems, widely applied in the market due to its simple structure, low cost, and decent comfort. Characteristics and applications of multi-link suspension: The multi-link suspension offers advantages such as simple construction, lightweight, reduced space occupation by the suspension system, optimal positioning of the caster angle, significant reduction of longitudinal forces from the road surface, thereby improving smoothness and comfort during acceleration and braking, while also ensuring stability during straight-line driving. It is mostly used in mid-to-high-end brands, such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 3 Series and 5 Series, Audi A4, A6, etc.
I remember when I drove the old-generation Teana, the first impression was its exceptionally stable suspension with minimal bumpiness. That's right – the Teana features an independent suspension system, a brilliant design where each wheel has its own suspension setup, operating independently. Driving on rough roads, the car doesn't shake excessively as a whole, and rear passengers never complained about motion sickness. The front suspension typically uses a MacPherson strut design, while the rear employs a multi-link independent suspension, delivering outstanding vibration absorption. High-speed cornering feels effortless with minimal body roll, enhancing both safety and handling. In contrast, cars with non-independent suspensions (like some budget models) connect their wheels together, often causing driver fatigue over time – the Teana's comfort is noticeably superior. The latest models even use optimized materials to reduce abnormal noises and lower maintenance costs. This suspension configuration remains a standout feature of the Teana; I never get tired of it even on long-distance drives.
