What suspension does the new Jetta use?
1 Answers
The new Jetta uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension for the rear. The MacPherson suspension is a common type of independent suspension, and its application is quite widespread. The structure of the MacPherson suspension is very simple, consisting of only an L-shaped control arm. This type of suspension hardly occupies any space in the engine compartment, which is why many front-transverse-engine vehicles use MacPherson front suspension. The torsion beam suspension is a relatively common non-independent suspension. Using a torsion beam for the rear suspension can expand the rear passenger space and trunk space, which is very important for compact cars. The new Jetta is a four-door, five-seat sedan with dimensions of 4501 mm in length, 1704 mm in width, and 1469 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2604 mm. The car is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 90 hp and a maximum power output of 66 kW.
