What type of suspension does the Tayron use?

[CarlosRose]

The Tayron uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The MacPherson strut is a relatively common type of independent suspension, featuring only a single L-shaped control arm. This design hardly occupies any space in the engine compartment, making it a popular choice for many front-transverse-engine vehicles. The multi-link independent suspension is an improved version of the double-wishbone suspension, where the two wishbones are replaced with individual links. This setup enhances wheel contact with the road and improves traction, which in turn boosts the car's handling performance. The Tayron is equipped with three engine options: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.

I've been driving the Tayron for almost two years now, and I really like its suspension tuning style. The car uses a combination of front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent suspensions, which filter out bumps particularly smoothly during daily commutes. The most noticeable feeling is that the body doesn't feel loose when going over speed bumps, and the support during high-speed lane changes is also spot on. Last month, I drove on mountain roads, and the body roll in continuous curves was much more controlled compared to Japanese cars in the same price range. However, if the speed is too high on rough roads, the rear wheels occasionally bounce a bit. Overall, this suspension balances comfort and handling very well, far more generous than some cars that use a torsion beam rear suspension. The chassis quality truly carries the solid feel of German cars.

As a car owner who frequently drives on construction sites, I'm particularly sensitive to suspension. My Tayron's front suspension is a MacPherson strut, and the rear is a multi-link setup, which is considered the golden combination for SUVs in this class. The biggest advantage is that when driving on bumpy roads, all four wheels can move independently, preventing the rear passengers from swaying left and right. I remember once carrying a car full of instruments on a rural road when we encountered road construction, and my colleague in the back actually fell asleep—the vibration damping capability was truly impressive. However, the multi-link structure is complex, so maintenance costs can be higher in the long run. If you frequently tackle extreme off-road conditions, the leaf springs of a hardcore off-roader might be more durable.

The Tayron features a front MacPherson and rear multi-link suspension setup, which is a mainstream configuration among urban SUVs. Let's focus on its tuning characteristics: the initial stage is relatively soft to absorb minor vibrations, while the latter stage offers strong support. This design is quite clever, ensuring comfort on paved roads without feeling unstable during sharp turns. Compared to the CR-V, the Tayron exhibits noticeably less body roll when cornering. However, the suspension travel isn't particularly long, so caution is needed to avoid scraping the undercarriage on cross-axle terrain. Additionally, the chassis incorporates numerous aluminum components, reducing unsprung weight for quicker responses. For daily commuting, this suspension setup is sufficiently comfortable, but for serious off-roading, a body-on-frame vehicle would be more suitable.

Last time during maintenance, I noticed the suspension details of the Tayron when the mechanic removed the wheels. The front MacPherson strut is simple and space-saving, making room for the engine compartment. The rear multi-link setup with five control arms is particularly noticeable, and you can clearly see each link extending and retracting when going over speed bumps. The biggest advantage of this design is the excellent tire contact with the road, preventing skidding during emergency braking on rainy days. However, the increased number of links means rubber bushing aging is a potential issue, so I have the mechanic inspect them closely every 20,000 kilometers. Additionally, the matching of springs and shock absorbers is crucial. The factory setup is optimized for paved roads, so if you want to go off-roading, you’ll need to switch to shorter springs.

Once, during a long-distance drive with my mother-in-law, she praised the car for being more stable than the old Tiguan, and the credit actually goes to the suspension. The Tayron uses a front MacPherson and rear multi-link setup, which makes the body movement exceptionally smooth when driving over undulating roads. The most noticeable difference is when overtaking large trucks on the highway—there's no drifting in crosswinds, and the grip feels solid. Another time, while driving on a mountain road under construction, I expected a bumpy ride, but the kids in the back still slept soundly. German chassis tuning really has its merits, with the front suspension's hydraulic bushings and the rear suspension's H-shaped control arm working in perfect harmony. If you're taking a road trip on national highways, this chassis is more comfortable than many sedans.
