What is the Difference Between Long Wheelbase and Standard Wheelbase?
1 Answers
The differences between standard wheelbase and long wheelbase are as follows: 1. The longer the wheelbase, the larger the passenger space inside the vehicle, resulting in a more spacious feeling (mainly reflected in the rear seating area). However, it's important to note that wheelbase is not directly related to ride comfort, which depends more on the tuning of the suspension's stiffness and rebound. 2. After increasing the wheelbase, the vehicle weight will inevitably increase, which correspondingly enhances stability at high speeds. 3. As the wheelbase lengthens, the turning radius of the vehicle increases, reducing the flexibility in turning or U-turns and affecting maneuverability. 4. For the same model, the shorter the wheelbase, the better the handling and the stronger the overall rigidity of the vehicle.
