High comfort: Japanese suspensions often adopt front MacPherson or torsion beam suspension systems, with a relatively soft tuning. They can effectively filter out bumps on urban roads and provide a smooth and comfortable experience for drivers and passengers. For example, the Nissan Teana has a softly tuned suspension, which, combined with its thick and soft seats, delivers excellent riding comfort.
Good stability: Through precise calculations and repeated road tests, Japanese-style suspensions ensure the vehicle has good handling stability under various road conditions. The Toyota Camry, for instance, uses a combination of double-wishbone independent front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension, which enhances the overall rigidity of the chassis and keeps the vehicle more stable during driving.
Excellent fuel economy: On the premise of ensuring chassis strength and safety, Japanese-style suspensions focus on lightweight design. They use lighter materials to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, which decreases the resistance during driving and optimizes power transmission efficiency, thereby improving fuel economy.
Outstanding noise control: The excellent chassis sound insulation of Japanese cars can effectively block tire noise from the road and wind noise from the outside, keeping the interior of the car quiet and enhancing riding comfort.
Compact and practical structure: Suspensions like the MacPherson front suspension have a simple and compact structure that takes up little space. They are especially suitable for models with transversely mounted engines, facilitating the layout of other components in the engine compartment while providing more spacious seating space for passengers inside the car.
Unique and innovative design: Some Japanese cars adopt unique suspension technologies. For example, Mazda's SEB (Skyactiv-Exclusive Brake) butterfly rear suspension innovatively uses a complex structure with a deformed cross-section. This design increases the rigidity of the connection point between the tire and the suspension by 2-3 times, while the small diameter of the central cross-section creates more flexible torsion, balancing rigidity and comfort.
