What are the standard dimensions (length, width, height) for business vehicles?
1 Answers
Taking the Buick GL8 business vehicle as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5238mm, width 1878mm, height 1776mm. The GL8 business vehicle features front-engine, front-wheel drive (FF), equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 237 HP, maximum torque of 350 Nm, and maximum power of 174 kW. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle weighs 1880 kg, has a fuel tank capacity of 71 liters, and is fitted with MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. MacPherson Strut Suspension: The MacPherson strut suspension is a type of independent suspension and one of the most popular independent suspensions today, commonly used for the front wheels of sedans. The main structure of the MacPherson strut consists of a coil spring paired with a shock absorber. The shock absorber prevents the coil spring from shifting forward, backward, left, or right when under force, restricting the spring to vertical vibrations only. The length and tension of the shock absorber can be adjusted to set the suspension's softness and performance. While the MacPherson strut provides satisfactory ride comfort and its compact structure effectively increases passenger space, its straight-tube design lacks resistance to lateral impacts and offers poor resistance to brake dive. Torsion Beam Suspension: The torsion beam suspension is a type of rear suspension for vehicles. It uses a torsion beam to balance the vertical movement of the left and right wheels, reducing vehicle sway and maintaining stability. It is classified as a type of non-independent suspension, also referred to as a semi-independent suspension. Its working principle involves mounting the wheels of the non-independent suspension at both ends of a torsion beam. When one wheel moves up or down, it causes the torsion beam to pivot, thereby inducing a corresponding movement in the opposite wheel, reducing overall body tilt or sway. Due to its inherent torsional stiffness, it functions similarly to a stabilizer bar, increasing the vehicle's roll stiffness and improving roll stability.
