What type of suspension does the MG 6 use?

[MacDelaney]

The MG 6 uses the following suspension systems: the front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. The use of a multi-link rear suspension improves tire contact with the ground, thereby enhancing both ride comfort and handling performance. Here is more information about these two types of suspension: 1. The MacPherson strut independent suspension is an important component of a car's safety structure. The vehicle's handling and ride comfort are closely related to the suspension system in the chassis structure, and the simplicity or complexity of the suspension design directly affects the manufacturing cost of the car. The MacPherson strut independent suspension is one of many suspension systems, widely used due to its simple structure, low cost, and decent comfort. Key advantages: The MacPherson suspension offers good responsiveness and handling, along with a simple structure, compact size, low cost, and lightweight, making it suitable for large engines and compact car bodies. 2. The multi-link independent suspension consists of links, shock absorbers, and suspension springs. It has more links than typical suspensions; conventionally, a suspension with 4 or more links is referred to as a multi-link suspension.

I've been driving the MG6 for three years and know its chassis inside out. The front wheels use MacPherson struts, which are soft enough for daily driving over speed bumps while maintaining decent cornering support. The rear E-type multi-link suspension handles potholes far better than a torsion beam, especially reducing discomfort for rear passengers. Last time on rough country roads, the car remained stable at 60 km/h through consecutive bumps, though the 18-inch low-profile tires require slower speeds over speed bumps to avoid bulging. A friend in the modding scene swapped to shorter springs, saying the factory damping prioritizes comfort with noticeable body roll during aggressive driving - for sportier handling you'd need strut braces and suspension upgrades.

After a decade of car repairs, I've seen countless MG6 chassis. The front MacPherson strut setup is simple and space-saving, with control arm assembly replacements costing just over 400 yuan. The rear multi-link independent suspension is more expensive but offers superior tire contact and at least two levels better cornering limits than torsion beam setups. A common issue is rear axle bushings developing squeaks around 50,000 km, especially noticeable in rain. Some owners complain about creaking over speed bumps - usually just worn stabilizer bar bushings needing replacement (under 100 yuan). Always use OEM parts - aftermarket bushings often crack within six months.

The actual test of the MG 6 chassis shows impressive features. The front MacPherson suspension is well-optimized for lightweight, reducing unsprung mass for better cornering agility. The rear four-link setup with a longitudinal control arm minimizes nose-diving during hard braking, and the body remains stable during emergency lane changes at 80 km/h. However, the spring rate (K value) is relatively low, making it prone to bottoming out when fully loaded on undulating roads. Some owners have installed an underbody cross brace to enhance rigidity, though it's unnecessary for daily commuting. Compared to the torsion beam setup in the similarly priced Nissan Sylphy, the MG reduces rear seat bumpiness by 30% over speed bumps, making rear passengers less prone to motion sickness.
