What suspension does the Southeast DX3 use?
2 Answers
The Southeast DX3 uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front and a multi-link independent suspension for the rear. In automobiles, suspensions can be categorized into independent and non-independent types. With an independent suspension, there is no connection between the two wheels on the same axle, meaning no motion interference between them. In contrast, a non-independent suspension connects the two wheels on the same axle, resulting in motion interference between them. The Southeast DX3 is positioned as a compact SUV, with dimensions of 4354mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1654mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of exterior design, the DX3 features a front fascia with the distinctive family characteristics of Southeast Motors, where the grille integrates seamlessly with the standard dual-L-shaped eagle-eye lens headlights, giving the front end a stylish and dynamic appearance.
I'm the owner of a Soueast DX3 and have been driving it for almost two years. I remember paying special attention to its suspension system when purchasing the car, as I frequently commute in the city and go on weekend trips. The car features a combination of front MacPherson strut independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. This design is quite cost-effective—the front suspension is simple and reliable, offering excellent shock absorption, while the rear multi-link suspension ensures stability during turns without wobbling, especially on bumpy roads. My family finds the rear seats very comfortable. Compared to competitors like the Haval H2, which uses a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, the DX3 clearly outperforms in handling and comfort. However, extra attention is needed during maintenance to check for potential rust on the rear links. I get it inspected every six months, and that’s sufficient. Overall, this suspension setup gives the DX3 high value for money among compact SUVs priced around 100,000 yuan, making it ideal for young commuters who prioritize safety and hassle-free driving.
