What suspension does the Lifan 330 use?
2 Answers
The Lifan 330 uses the following suspension: the front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is also MacPherson independent suspension. The suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame and axle. Its function is to transmit forces and torque between the wheels and the frame, as well as to cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, reducing the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Taking the 2014 Lifan 330 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 3775mm, width 1620mm, height 1430mm, with a wheelbase of 2340mm, a minimum ground clearance of 135mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 37 liters.
I remember driving my friend's Lifan 330 before. Its suspension setup was quite common, with MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. Driving in the city, the handling felt decent, and it wasn't too bumpy over speed bumps, but the noise was a bit loud on rough roads. This design is cost-effective and offers high space utilization, making it particularly suitable for compact cars. The Lifan 330 is an economy car, with suspension tuned for comfort and effortless steering, making it easy for beginners to handle. I drove it for several thousand kilometers, and maintenance was straightforward—just regular checks on suspension rubber components and chassis bolts. Avoid overloading with heavy items, as that can lead to faster tire wear. Overall, this suspension is sufficient for city commuting and performs fine on long highway trips, but don't expect high performance.
