What Suspension Does the BYD Song Use?
2 Answers
The BYD Song uses MacPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension. The function of the suspension is to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Taking the 2021 BYD Song as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4600mm, width 1830mm, height 1700mm, wheelbase 2660mm, fuel tank capacity 63L, and curb weight 1630kg. The 2021 BYD Song is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 160PS, maximum power of 118kW, maximum torque of 245Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Speaking of the BYD Song's suspension system, I've learned from car enthusiast discussions that its design is quite classic, featuring a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. This combination is quite common in many modern SUVs, aiming to enhance stability while ensuring comfort. The front MacPherson setup is simple and compact, helping to save space and improve handling responsiveness; the rear multi-link is responsible for absorbing bumps, making driving over speed bumps less jarring. I've driven a friend's Song on some rural roads, and the suspension does a good job filtering out road vibrations, with minimal body sway, thanks to those independent components. Considering the suspension type when choosing this car can help you anticipate the smoothness of daily driving, especially with ample support when fully loaded, making long drives less tiring—ideal for families or commuters. It also performs stably on rough terrain, so I recommend a test drive to experience it firsthand.
