What suspension does the Lexus SC use?
2 Answers
The Lexus SC uses an independent double-wishbone suspension with a stabilizer bar, as it is a sports car. Taking the 2009 Lexus SC as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4535mm, width 1825mm, height 1370mm, wheelbase 2620mm, fuel tank capacity 75l, luggage capacity 89 to 321l, and curb weight 2055kg. The 2009 Lexus SC is equipped with a 4.3l naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 285ps, maximum power of 210kw, maximum torque of 419nm, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
When driving my Lexus SC, I feel the suspension is incredibly comfortable, gliding smoothly as if on a magic carpet. It uses an independent suspension system, with a double-wishbone type front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, which absorbs road bumps and keeps the car stable during turns. Especially in congested city roads, it handles potholes with remarkable finesse, almost eliminating any sense of bumpiness. On highways, it's even more stable—no nose-diving when braking and no rear lift during acceleration. I also love its electronic adjustment feature, which allows for a softer setting, making rainy days or long drives much more relaxing. Maintenance is pretty hassle-free, just routine upkeep, but it's important to regularly check for shock absorber wear, as older models might need bushings replaced. Overall, it turns daily commutes into a pleasure, and even occasional spirited driving feels secure without fear of losing control.
