What type of suspension does the Sail use?
1 Answers
The Sail uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. The suspension is a device that transmits the interaction forces between the frame and the axle, and it is a key component affecting the vehicle's driving performance. The Sail is a mid-range compact car from Shanghai GM Chevrolet, with body dimensions of 3947mm in length, 1690mm in width, and 1503mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2465mm. The MacPherson strut independent suspension is a widely used type of suspension in vehicles. It consists of a coil spring, shock absorber, and triangular lower control arm. Due to its unique combination compared to other suspension types, the MacPherson strut suspension has a relatively compact size.
