When it comes to the suspension of a car, many people will judge comfort by "independent" and "non-independent" structures. For example, independent suspension will be "better" than non-independent suspension, that is, better comfort. On this basis, the variable suspension is more advanced, because it can achieve "soft and hard" adjustments, achieving a better balance between handling and comfort.
Of course, considering the model positioning and cost, the basic variable suspension is a "good car" of more than 300,000, such as the Cadillac CT6. To say within 300,000, Citroën's Versailles C5 X is one of the minority. The car we are going to talk about today is the only model with a variable suspension within 100,000, and it is Wuling Xingchen.
The main practical and cost-effective, the top match is less than 100,000
First of all, let's briefly talk about Wuling Star, which is positioned in a compact SUV with a length of 4594mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm. The body length is not long, but the wheelbase is still not short, so the rear space performance will not be bad. From the price point of view, the top match of Wuling Star is 99,800, which is similar to the entry price of many domestic SUVs at the same level. Therefore, it can be simply understood that Wuling Star is a domestic SUV with good practicality and outstanding cost performance.
Combined with the price and configuration, I personally recommend the top version of Wuling Star. First of all, from the biggest highlight of this car, only the sub-top and top-mount models equipped with variable suspension are equipped with 99,800 at the top and 89,800 at the top. The difference between the two is 10,000, but the actual configuration is far from the same.
What is the origin of the variable suspension of Wuling Star?
Let's first talk about the variable suspension, from the price point of view, Wuling Star is the only model equipped with variable suspension within 100,000. It is worth mentioning that the suspension of Wuling Star is the independent suspension of the front McPherson and the non-independent suspension of the rear torsion beam. The use of torsional beam suspension can benefit the rear space, but comfort may be a "short board". Therefore, after adding the FSD variable damping shock absorber, the comfort of the chassis of Wuling Star is greatly improved.
Speaking of this, many friends may wonder, what variable suspension is matched with this SUV of less than 100,000? It can be simply understood that this is a variable suspension in the form of machinery, and many luxury cars use variable suspension in the form of electronics. Whether mechanical or electronic, the principle is to adjust the softness and hardness of the suspension according to the different road conditions, that is, the level of damping. The difference is that the electronic type can achieve a millisecond-level response, and some high-end models can also be combined with cameras to predict road conditions in advance.
Of course, a mechanical variable suspension like Wuling Xingchen is not so advanced. Its principle is very simple, that is, according to the road conditions, to achieve the adjustment of the damping of the shock absorber. When the road conditions are good, the damping of the shock absorber will be small, and when the road conditions are not good, the damping of the shock absorber will be larger, and when facing the potholed road surface, you will obviously feel that the "toughness" of the suspension is more sufficient to reduce the feedback of the vibration.
The top version is recommended, and the configuration is the key
Well, finally look at the configuration of the top version of Wuling Star, we also said before, more recommended top model. The important reason is that Wuling Star is only equipped with rear airbags in the top models, including the main and sub-pilot airbags, the front side airbags, and the front and rear head air curtains. From a safety point of view, a more complete range of airbags is required.
In terms of other configurations, the top version is also equipped with a panoramic sunroof, LED far and near lights, 360-degree panoramic images, automatic parking, remote start, main driver electric adjustment, 10.25-inch central control touch screen, Internet of Vehicles, 256 colors of in-car mood lights and so on. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Wuling Xingchen is only equipped with automatic air conditioning in the top model, from the perspective of home use, automatic air conditioning is better than manual air conditioning, and the experience is better.
Finally, the power, Wuling Star is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 147 horsepower. Except for the low-end and sub-low-end models, the rest are matched with the CVT transmission. From the performance point of view, the whole series of 1.5T power, not calm, but combined to the top of the price of less than 100,000, it is also reasonable.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
I believe that seeing such a title, many friends may say that the variable suspension of Wuling Stars is a gimmick. I think it can't be simply evaluated in this way, and a variable suspension like Wuling Xingchen must not be compared with a luxury car, which is a penny for a penny. But there is better than nothing, just like the 48V light mix system, it can optimize the driving comfort to a certain extent, which is the role of "adding color", rather than greatly improving the role of optimization.
