What is the purpose of adjustable suspension stiffness in cars?
1 Answers
The purpose of adjustable suspension stiffness in cars is to achieve a balance and switch between handling performance and comfort. Vehicles with adjustable suspension stiffness can be divided into: 1. Those where the driver actively controls the suspension stiffness via buttons; 2. Those where the vehicle automatically adjusts suspension stiffness based on driving speed or sensor data, without allowing the driver to manually change it. The adjustable suspension stiffness modes typically include Normal, Sport, and Comfort. This is achieved by the control unit adjusting the valve on the shock absorber, controlling the circulation of hydraulic fluid inside the shock absorber, and thereby changing the damping coefficient of the shock absorber.
