Is the Volkswagen New Bora equipped with independent suspension?

[DiReid]

Volkswagen New Bora features independent suspension at the front and non-independent suspension at the rear. Below are supplementary details about the suspension system: The torsion beam semi-independent rear suspension system offers the following advantages: The suspension structure is simple and lightweight; during vehicle assembly, rear wheel alignment is not required, reducing assembly time; it occupies minimal space, making it easier to achieve a larger rear compartment; the spring and shock absorber system is conveniently arranged; it facilitates control over the wheel movement ratio relative to the spring and shock absorber; the torsion beam characteristics can substitute for the function of a stabilizer bar; during suspension movement, toe-in and track width changes are minimal; under lateral force conditions, camber angle changes are small; it provides good straight-line stability and reduces rear tire wear; by reasonably setting the characteristics of elastic bushings, it can reduce braking dive. Disadvantages of the semi-independent suspension system structure: The torsion beam generates torsional and shear stresses, with higher stresses at welded connections, limiting the load capacity of the rear axle due to the strength of the torsion beam; to ensure driving stability, the force points of the elastic bushings on both sides' longitudinal swing arms are complex; the wheels on both sides influence each other; and it offers poor comfort.
