Why does standard wheelbase handle better than extended wheelbase?
1 Answers
Because cars with longer wheelbases have extended body lengths, they are more challenging to handle. Below is a detailed introduction to wheelbase: Extended wheelbase vehicles not only affect the car's handling but also involve more than just simple lengthening - they require complete redesign of the entire body structure, making them harder to control. Generally, to maintain balanced body proportions, when a car's wheelbase is increased, its body length extends accordingly. China has many extended-wheelbase models that appear significantly longer than standard-wheelbase versions visually. As is well known, most domestic consumers prefer larger sizes as a sign of beauty, often believing that a longer wheelbase enhances a car's perceived class.
