What does AMS mean in a car?

AMS in a car stands for the power management system. With the AMS power management system, the generator can determine the battery status through current sensors, adjust the generator's load based on driving conditions, and control the battery's charging and discharging, thereby improving fuel efficiency and extending the battery's lifespan. The Hyundai Verna BLUE edition utilizes AMS technology, which is an A0-class car independently developed by Hyundai specifically for the Chinese market. The Verna offers two engine configurations: 1.4L and 1.6L, both from Hyundai's Gamma engine series, surpassing the power levels of other models in the same class and displacement.
I recently figured out what AMS means in cars, and it's actually a really useful technology. It stands for Adaptive Suspension System, which automatically adjusts the stiffness of the suspension. When encountering rough roads, it softens to reduce bumps significantly; during high-speed cornering, it instantly stiffens to support the body, giving me a strong sense of security while driving. This system relies on various sensors to collect road data and automatically adjusts damping force through electronically controlled shock absorbers. Some high-end cars can even combine it with driving mode selections—for example, switching to sport mode immediately makes the suspension stiff. However, this feature usually costs extra, and the maintenance costs can be high later on, especially if the sensors or hydraulic components fail—repairs can really hurt the wallet. But the daily driving comfort is truly unmatched.
