What does the Regal GS adaptive suspension mean?
1 Answers
Regal GS adaptive suspension refers to Buick's Full-Time Active Damping Control system. CDC Intelligent Suspension Positioning: The CDC intelligent suspension is not a patented technology of GM. This system was primarily developed by Opel based on European automakers' approaches for their vehicle models, utilizing supplier technology. The company providing this technology is called ZF Sachs, but it differs significantly from another intelligent suspension system under GM called MRC. CDC stands for Continuous Damping Control, which Buick refers to as the Full-Time Active Damping Control system. MRC stands for Magnetic Ride Control, which Cadillac calls the Active Magnetic Ride Control system. Its origins can be traced back to the SD2C speed-sensitive damping control system in the 1980s. Currently, it is exclusively applied to Cadillac-branded vehicles in China and is recognized as the fastest-responding system, bar none. Experience with CDC Intelligent Suspension: It better adapts to road conditions, though the difference may not be noticeably perceptible. The distinction might be more apparent during sharp cornering. Additionally, the Sport mode chassis feels more like a race car, resembling a performance vehicle more closely. Most mid-size or even compact cars offer a Sport mode, but this setting typically only affects transmission logic—maintaining a relatively higher engine RPM threshold, allowing drivers to achieve quicker and more responsive power output with light throttle input and delayed upshifts.
