What is the cheapest car with air suspension?
1 Answers
The most affordable car equipped with air suspension is the Volkswagen Phideon. Below is relevant information about air suspension: 1. Introduction: Air suspension generally refers to the air suspension system. Typically, vehicles equipped with air-adjustable suspension have ground clearance sensors near the front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and then controls the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the springs, thereby lowering or raising the chassis ground clearance to enhance high-speed stability or off-road capability. 2. Variable stiffness of air suspension: Variable stiffness means that compared to leaf springs or coil springs, air springs, controlled by height valves, exhibit stiffness characteristics that vary with load. A practical example is that when riding in a leaf-sprung truck with no cargo, it feels like the vehicle bounces at a high frequency on the road. In contrast, with air springs, whether empty or fully loaded, the ride feels nearly the same.
