What type of suspension does the Tacqua use?
2 Answers
The Tacqua features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the vehicle's frame and its axles or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while also cushioning impacts from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, and dampening the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. The Tacqua is a compact SUV model under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4194mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1601mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2651mm. The vehicle adopts a popular full-width taillight design, consistent with the front end, which helps to visually widen the vehicle and enhance its recognition.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, I've driven the Tacqua several times. It features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, a design commonly found in compact SUVs. The MacPherson strut is simple and compact, providing good support and flexibility during turns, delivering a strong sense of control, especially on city streets or highways where it feels smooth and stable. The rear torsion beam saves space, allowing for a larger trunk, making it ideal for families carrying luggage. However, the downside is that rear passengers might find the damping slightly stiff, with noticeable bumps when going over speed bumps or uneven roads. To improve comfort, consider installing a high-quality shock absorber kit. Overall, this suspension system strikes a balance between everyday convenience and sporty performance.
