The use of double-layer stamping + black anti-rust paint eliminates rust issues, with data showing that the entire vehicle's anti-rust galvanized steel plate reaches 75%. Exeed TXL Engine: The 1.6T engine block and cylinder head are entirely made of aluminum alloy, including the 7DCT transmission, which is also aluminum alloy, thus avoiding rust issues. Exeed TXL Vehicle Dimensions: Length and width are 4.77x1.88m, with a wheelbase of 2.8m. The chassis armor is thick, and the muffler and intermediate connecting pipe are secured with aluminum plates to prevent looseness during driving. The muffler connector is installed in a groove.

I've been driving for many years and have some insights into chassis . The chassis structure of the Exeed TXL is quite sophisticated. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension with a stabilizer bar, which provides excellent roll control during turns. The rear suspension is a multi-link independent setup, offering noticeable vibration filtering when driving over rough roads. With a minimum ground clearance of 200mm, you rarely worry about scraping the undercarriage on curbs or poor road conditions. The chassis incorporates a significant amount of high-strength steel, resulting in strong overall rigidity and stable, non-floating body control during high-speed cornering. The electric power steering system offers moderate resistance and precise, zero-play steering. The driving experience feels cohesive, unlike some SUVs that feel overly soft and boat-like. The chassis also features dedicated sound insulation, making tire and wind noise barely noticeable at high speeds—a thoughtful touch among domestic vehicles. Over extended driving, the chassis tuning leans toward comfort without compromising support, making it ideal for family use.

As someone who frequently drives long distances, I highly value chassis performance. The Exeed TXL's chassis configuration of front MacPherson struts and rear multi-link suspension is very generous for its price range, specifically tuned to balance both comfort and handling. The shock absorbers have sufficient travel, making speed bumps less jarring, and the rear suspension's three transverse arms design effectively controls wheel hop. The steering system responds quickly with just the right amount of return force, making continuous turns effortless. The high ground clearance allows it to handle unpaved roads during road trips. The standout feature is the chassis's rigidity, with 75% high-strength steel ensuring exceptional stability at high speeds. The use of hydraulic bushings reduces vibration transmission, preventing lower back fatigue during long drives. The intelligent AWD system in the four-wheel-drive version reacts swiftly, actively distributing torque on slippery surfaces for added safety. The low center of gravity boosts confidence during high-speed lane changes. Overall, this chassis excels for long-distance driving.

I've studied the Exeed TXL's chassis, and the material choices are quite solid. The front suspension lower control arm is made of cast aluminum, which is 30% lighter than steel, reducing unsprung mass for more agile handling. The rear multi-link setup with longitudinal control arms ensures excellent tire contact on rough roads. The welded double-layer stamped steel subframe offers outstanding rigidity, minimizing noises when going over bumps. The shock absorbers feature FSD valve technology that automatically adjusts damping based on road conditions, effectively filtering out minor vibrations. The chassis has thorough anti-corrosion treatment, and the full-frame subframe provides strong crash protection. Particularly noteworthy is the exhaust system routing that avoids the fuel tank for enhanced collision safety. The aluminum steering knuckle reduces weight while resisting corrosion. With its highly flat underbody design and excellent aerodynamics, the drag coefficient is just 0.33. These details significantly improve both driving dynamics and durability.

During the last test drive, I specifically focused on the chassis. The Starway TXL's chassis tuning is noticeably geared towards family comfort, with soft initial spring response that smooths over manhole covers without jolting, while maintaining sufficient support in later stages. The steering feels light yet precise, making it effortless even for female drivers. Sound insulation materials are generous, with full underbody panels that effectively block out stone impact noises. The four-wheel-drive version features BorgWarner's NexTrac system, with tests showing quick response from the automatic differential lock in snowy conditions. High ground clearance eliminates worries when climbing curbs. Dual-caliper twin-piston brakes deliver linear stopping power, achieving a respectable 37-meter 100-0km/h braking distance. The chassis handles flexibility cleverly, maintaining composure over consecutive speed bumps and feeling solid on rough roads. The only downside is slightly noticeable body roll during aggressive driving, though such tuning is reasonable for a family-oriented SUV.

From a user's perspective, this chassis is worry-free. The front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension are mature and reliable designs that repair shops are familiar with. The full-frame subframe provides excellent collision protection, contributing to its European 5-star safety rating. Hydraulic bushings are more durable than rubber ones, with slower aging and fewer squeaks. Full coverage of resin underbody panels prevents rust, scratches, and reduces noise. During , lifting the car reveals a tidy chassis with dedicated wiring channels for pipes and cables, and oil filter replacement doesn't require removing protective panels. The rear differential oil in 4WD versions only needs changing every 60,000 km. Springs and shock absorbers have long lifespans - mine show no sagging after 70,000 km of driving. The electric power steering eliminates concerns about hydraulic fluid leaks. The approach and departure angles are somewhat conservative in design, making extreme off-roading not its strong suit. Overall, it's rugged for daily use with reasonable maintenance costs.
