The front suspension of the Sagitar uses single-layer iron stamped parts. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The front suspension refers to all the force-transmitting devices between the suspended frame (or load-bearing body) and the axle (or wheels). The automobile suspension includes three parts: elastic elements, shock absorbers, and force-transmitting devices, which play the roles of buffering, vibration damping, and force transmission respectively. 2. The form of the front suspension is generally independent suspension, such as MacPherson, multi-link, double-wishbone, or double-arm type. In the 2014 Sagitar, the torsion beam rear suspension was replaced with a multi-link structure. The tuning of the new model has not changed significantly, with good overall balance. It performs well in filtering both large and small vibrations and provides appropriate support during cornering. The steady and solid chassis gives it a texture different from Japanese and Korean cars.

I've driven many car models, and the Sagitar's front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension system, which is quite common in A-segment cars. This design uses a shock absorber paired with a spring, featuring a simple and compact structure that allows the front wheels to move independently, effectively absorbing road bumps. Volkswagen has tuned the Sagitar's suspension to prioritize comfort, making city commutes over potholes feel less jarring. During my test drive, the steering felt stable, the handling was responsive, and the space efficiency was high, allowing more components to fit in the engine bay. For regular maintenance, check for oil leaks in the shock absorbers and replace worn ball joints promptly to avoid noise affecting ride quality. Overall, the MacPherson suspension is cost-effective, durable, and suitable for daily family cars, with maintenance not being too troublesome—generally requiring inspection every 50,000 kilometers, and tire wear is even.

As a long-time driver, the front suspension of the Jetta provides a smooth and gentle experience. The MacPherson independent suspension easily absorbs vibrations on regular roads, especially on bumpy city streets, keeping the body stable and steering agile. At high speeds, the car remains steady without feeling floaty and handles sharp turns well. Compared to other compact cars, the Jetta's suspension tuning focuses on comfort rather than sporty firmness, making it ideal for daily commutes, especially long drives without fatigue. However, it's important to check tire pressure to match suspension performance, as incorrect pressure can worsen bumps. Regular maintenance is essential, and when replacing shock absorbers, choosing original parts ensures balance.

I have been maintaining cars for many years. The front suspension of the Sagitar is a common independent MacPherson strut type, with the advantages of simple manufacturing, easy maintenance, and low cost. On the Sagitar, it ensures comfortable handling, but the key maintenance points are checking the shock absorber condition and the fixation of connection points. Inspect it every 20,000 kilometers, and promptly address any abnormal noises or oil leaks by replacing parts with compatible Volkswagen accessories, which are easy to find and cost-effective. Improper suspension tuning can also increase tire noise and affect fuel consumption, so it's best to maintain the original factory specifications. Compared to some rear-suspension vehicles, its front space is smaller but easier to repair, making it friendly even for beginners.
