What are the advantages of the Sagitar's independent suspension?
2 Answers
The advantages of the Sagitar's independent suspension are as follows: 1. Lightweight, reducing the impact on the car body and improving the ground adhesion of the wheels. 2. Softer springs with lower stiffness can be used to enhance the comfort of the car. 3. It allows the engine position to be lowered, which also lowers the car's center of gravity, thereby improving driving stability. 4. The left and right wheels can move independently without interfering with each other, reducing body tilt and vibration. However, the independent suspension system has disadvantages such as complex structure, high cost, and inconvenient maintenance. Additionally, due to its complex structure, it may occupy some of the car's interior space.
My friend has been driving his Sagitar for five years, and what he's most satisfied with is the independent suspension. It handles mountain roads and corners exceptionally steadily, with tires gripping the road tightly and precise steering response. Even when going through puddles on rainy days, there's no drifting. The most impressive part is its performance on rough roads. Previously, driving a car with a torsion beam suspension felt like getting a concussion from the bumps, but now his wife can sleep in the back seat without being jolted awake. The mechanic mentioned that this type of suspension separates the spring and shock absorber functions, allowing each wheel to work independently without interference. Going over speed bumps now produces a dull 'thud' instead of a loud 'clunk.' Also, tire wear is much more even, extending the tire replacement cycle by nearly half a year compared to his colleague's car with a torsion beam suspension.
