What suspension does the Jetta VS5 use?
1 Answers
The Jetta VS5 is a compact SUV under the Jetta brand. This vehicle uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front and a multi-link independent suspension for the rear. Both MacPherson and multi-link suspensions are common types of independent suspensions. Here are some related details: 1. The MacPherson suspension is the simplest, most cost-effective, and widely used independent suspension. It features only an L-shaped control arm, making it compact and straightforward in structure. The MacPherson suspension hardly occupies any space in the engine compartment. 2. The multi-link suspension is an improved version of the double-wishbone suspension. It replaces the two wishbones of the double-wishbone suspension with separate links. The double-wishbone suspension consists of upper and lower wishbones, with an additional link between them. The multi-link suspension enhances the wheel's ground contact performance, thereby improving traction.
