What suspension system does the Hafei Saibao use?
2 Answers
Hafei Saibao uses MacPherson independent suspension for the front suspension and multi-link independent suspension for the rear suspension. The multi-link independent suspension is an improvement based on the double-wishbone independent suspension, where the two wishbones of the double-wishbone suspension are replaced with separate links. The multi-link independent suspension can enhance the wheel's ground contact performance, thereby improving the wheel's grip. With improved grip, the vehicle's handling is also enhanced. The Hafei Saibao is a compact car under the Hafei brand, with a wheelbase of 2440 mm, a length of 3885 mm, a width of 1695 mm, and a height of 1635 mm.
I've been driving a Hafei Saibao for five years and have firsthand experience with its suspension setup. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, which provides exceptional stability on city roads—even over speed bumps, it filters out most vibrations, delivering quite decent comfort. The rear features a torsion beam independent suspension, a design that maximizes rear seat and trunk space, making it perfect for hauling large luggage during moves. However, at high speeds, sharp turns can cause slight body roll, so it's not ideal for aggressive driving. I get the shock absorbers and linkages inspected every six months to prevent oil leaks or aging from compromising safety. Routine maintenance is straightforward and affordable, and as a family commuter car, this suspension combo offers unbeatable value in its class. In short, if you prioritize comfort and practicality, it's a solid choice.
