One of the core points of my car purchase is that I never over-analyze the parameters.
The reason is very simple, this kind of systematic, need to consider the comprehensive strength of the advantages and disadvantages of large-scale goods is definitely not written on the paper book parameters can be seen, but also need brand support, quality verification and engineering and technical personnel tuning.
This is true of mobile phones, cars, houses.
For example, Apple's A14 processor is not very mainstream now, after all, it is a processor that was "passed" two years ago, but it can still hang today's flagship in the Android camp.
The process, design and even the system on which it is placed are critical.
Buying a car is especially so, such as the suspension system, the suspension design of traditional enterprises is hierarchical, the five-link is more advanced than the three-link, and the three-link is better than the torsion beam.
There's no problem with saying that, but there's also a problem.
Such a comparison is appropriate for a company, for example, Citroën's five-link is better than its own three-link, and its own three-link is better than the torsion beam design.
But cross-brand comparisons are meaningless, because each engineering team's design capabilities, tuning capabilities, and material standards are completely different.
You take the torsion beam of the A brand compared with the multi-link of the B brand, and you can draw a better conclusion from the data analysis, which is not fair and objective enough in theory, and only after trying to know.
There is a more interesting phenomenon in the industry, the torsion beam suspension is indeed structurally simpler than the multi-link, the comfort and the support for the control limit is worse, but this does not mean that some brands of multi-link are better than Citroën's torsion beams.
The expressiveness of products designed by different engineers is different.
For example, Tianyi's torque beam suspension has several characteristics, good support, comfort is not low, and a magic carpet suspension is also attached, so that the chassis architecture you can only see the three words "torque beam" on the parameters.
However, Tianyi's torsion beam suspension and other brands of torque beam suspension are not the same when opened.
It's a bit of a blow to the sky, but the truth is that I've driven a lot of PSA's torsion beam models, and the feeling that it doesn't have a clear short board, even if it's a torque beam that many people complain about.
On the other hand, many companies, although they use three or even five links, the experience is not particularly good.
I think that the multi-link suspension system is only the limit is better, and the multi-link architecture can have better comfort and handling performance after doing a good job, but it does not mean that all companies can achieve its limits.
Many domestic multi-link models are not even as good as Citroën's torque beams.
The degree of filtering trivial vibrations, the ability of the chassis to compress extremely and the amplitude of the roll have obvious gaps, and the good point is that there are multiple connecting rods, but the feeling of opening up is not even as good as the torque beam of many large factories.
Of course, what I am saying is that in the past, the multi-link rod of some domestic cars in the past was indeed very poor, mainly reflected in the poor tuning ability, giving diamonds but not being able to do porcelain work, weak basic ability of tuning, and weak experience of the engineering team.
Therefore, buying a car can not only look at the book parameters, torque beams may not be as good as more linkages, but also have to be known after the real test drive.
Even if some European cars, such as the products of the Skoda and Renault and citroën products, look like the multi-link debugging ability on the tall is not good enough, it will still lose to Citroen.
The masses are strong enough, and they don't necessarily give you the best thing.
Buying a car is still to really try it yourself, in the end what kind of product is good, really only know if you have opened it, rather than comparing with the book parameters, the parameters are only one aspect, and the feeling of opening up is the most important.
