What type of suspension does the Fengon 580 use?
2 Answers
Fengon 580 uses MacPherson strut independent suspension for the front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent suspension for the rear suspension. Here are some details about the suspension: 1. Automotive suspensions are divided into independent and non-independent types. 2. Non-independent suspension has a simple structure, relatively lower cost, and excellent support, capable of withstanding significant torque. The downside is poorer comfort and sportiness. 3. Independent suspension offers better comfort, sportiness, and handling. The disadvantages include complex structure, higher cost, and inconvenient maintenance. 4. MacPherson strut independent suspension is the most common type, with almost all current family sedans using it for the front suspension. Due to its simple structure and compact space requirements, the MacPherson suspension is also the simplest form of independent suspension.
I remember when driving the Fengguang 580 SUV, the front suspension used a MacPherson strut independent suspension, which performs smoothly on city roads with minimal vibration over speed bumps; the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, simple and durable in structure but a bit stiff for rear passengers. I think this configuration focuses on practicality and cost-effectiveness, with high space utilization and a large trunk, making it suitable for family long-distance trips, as it absorbs a lot of impact on bumpy roads. The driving feel is moderately firm, with strong cornering support but less ideal on rough roads; it saves money compared to multi-link suspensions but slightly lacks in comfort. It offers good value for daily use, and if carrying more passengers, adding air cushion seats is recommended to improve rear comfort. Overall, the suspension tuning is pragmatic, and most owners share positive experiences regarding handling and reliability.
