How to choose different specifications

Core Selection Logic: Clarify Needs First

1. Daily commuting as the main purpose, pursuing comfort and peace of mind
   • Core needs: Good shock absorption, smooth ride, and low maintenance costs.
   • Suitable suspensions: Prioritize MacPherson strut independent suspension (for front suspension) and torsion beam non-independent suspension (for rear suspension). Both have simple structures, perform well in terms of comfort on urban roads, and have lower later maintenance costs.
2. Focus on driving pleasure, often driving on mountain roads or highways
   • Core needs: Strong lateral support, stable body posture, and clear road feel.
   • Suitable suspensions: Choose multi-link independent suspension (for rear suspension) or double wishbone independent suspension (for front suspension). These two can better control the wheel posture, reduce body roll during cornering, and provide more direct feedback to the driver.
3. Off-road or heavy-load scenarios
   • Core needs: Strong load-bearing capacity, large suspension travel, and high structural strength.
   • Suitable suspensions: For off-road vehicles, solid axle non-independent suspension is preferred. It has strong anti-torsion ability and can adapt to complex terrain. For heavy-duty commercial vehicles, leaf spring non-independent suspension is a common choice because of its excellent load-bearing performance.

Key Characteristics of Common Suspensions

• MacPherson strut independent suspension: Simple structure, small space occupation, and low cost. It is widely used in the front suspension of family cars.
• Torsion beam non-independent suspension: Compact structure, low manufacturing cost, and small impact on the rear space. It is suitable for small and compact cars.
• Multi-link independent suspension: Complex structure, high cost, but excellent adjustability. It can balance comfort and handling, and is commonly used in mid-to-high-end cars.
• Double wishbone independent suspension: Symmetrical structure, stable wheel track and camber angle during movement. It has outstanding handling performance and is often used in sports cars and high-end SUVs.
• Solid axle non-independent suspension: High structural strength, large load-bearing capacity, and large suspension travel. It is the first choice for hardcore off-road vehicles.
