What type of suspension does the BMW X3 use?
2 Answers
The BMW X3 uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Automotive suspensions are categorized into two main types: independent and non-independent suspensions. Common independent suspensions include MacPherson strut, double-wishbone, and multi-link independent suspensions. Common non-independent suspensions include torsion beam and solid axle non-independent suspensions. The BMW X3's intelligent all-wheel-drive system can flexibly and quickly distribute driving force between the axles based on road conditions. Whether navigating sharp turns, steep slopes, or slippery surfaces, the BMW X3 ensures strong traction. Additionally, the DSC sensor can detect understeer and respond immediately by delivering more power to the rear wheels.
I just bought a BMW X3, and the suspension tuning feels really comfortable, especially the front suspension with its double-joint spring strut design, while the rear is a multi-link setup. The stability during turns is superb, and bumps like speed bumps are hardly noticeable. It performs well whether commuting in the city or cruising on the highway. BMW's chassis has always leaned toward sportiness, but the X3 strikes a nice balance between comfort and handling. The chassis is quite compact, with minimal brake dive, making long drives less tiring. I think this suspension makes daily driving more enjoyable, perfect for family trips or occasional outings.
