What type of suspension does the SAIC HS use?
3 Answers
The MG HS (not SAIC HS) uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Here is some extended information about suspensions: 1. Automotive suspensions are divided into two main categories: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. 2. Non-independent suspension has a simpler structure, relatively lower cost, and excellent load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding significant torque. However, its downside is poorer comfort and sportiness. Independent suspension offers better comfort, sportiness, and handling, but its disadvantages include complex structure, higher cost, and more difficult maintenance. 3. Common types of non-independent suspension include torsion beam non-independent suspension and solid axle non-independent suspension. Common types of independent suspension include MacPherson strut independent suspension, double-wishbone independent suspension, and multi-link independent suspension. Here are some details about the MG HS: 1. The latest model of the MG HS available for sale is the 2019 version, with a total of 6 models available, all meeting the China 6B emission standards. 2. The MG HS is positioned as a compact SUV. In terms of body dimensions: length x width x height are 4574x1876x1685mm, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The height of the 1.5T models is 1664mm, and all models have seating for 5.
I've driven the SAIC HS, which features a combination of front MacPherson strut independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. This setup performs exceptionally well in real-world driving. For instance, when navigating potholes on city roads, there's minimal body sway, and the overall stability is impressive—unlike some stiff suspensions that can leave you feeling dizzy from the bumps. On a recent long-distance test drive, I noticed strong grip and responsive handling during high-speed cornering, with no worries about body roll. This suspension design also enhances ride comfort; my friends in the back seat found it very relaxing, making it ideal for family trips or daily commutes. If you'd like to learn more, consider a test drive at a dealership or check online user reviews—many also praise its ability to maintain composure on rough roads.
My family uses the SAIC HS, and I feel the suspension is set up independently with MacPherson struts in the front and multi-link in the rear, making the ride quite comfortable. My child gets carsick easily, but this car filters vibrations well, even on gravel roads, without much shaking. On weekends when we go out to the countryside, driving over uneven roads, there isn't much noise or bumpiness inside the car, and my wife always praises its ride comfort. I think this is very important for daily driving, especially in the city with frequent stop-and-go traffic—the suspension absorbs impacts, making driving more relaxed. If you're concerned about maintenance, it's not high-maintenance either; just regular checks on the springs and shock absorbers are needed. Overall, it offers great value for money, and I recommend test-driving it to experience it for yourself.
