SUSPENSION
INTRODUCTION:
The suspension of these vehicles is designed in such a way to offer greater passenger
comfort.
The technological solutions adopted to reach this goal can be summarized as follows:
Front suspension geometry with the positioning of the front and rear pivot bushes, have
made it possible to contain the effect of vibration caused due to road undulations; also,
helps to decouple the effect of acceleration, braking and cornering loads, providing
better stability in all driving conditions
Twist beam Suspension also referred as Torsion Beam Suspension designed to provide
key advantages of both independent suspension and rigid axle suspension. This ‘H’
shaped Semi-independent rear suspension is designed to increase structural rigidity and
increase the flexibility of the suspension through improved bushing.
Nitrogen gas charged shock absorbers with improved design configuration for better ride
and reduced noise levels in the passenger cabin.
Vertical orientation of rear Shock absorbers and their placement with respect to the
wheel center provides advantage of effective damping.
Stiffness and damping characteristics are modified to suit vehicle ride and handling
quality.
Focus during design of components has always been related to comfort; technical
solutions, which are more common in premium vehicles such as asymmetric rear lower
control arm bushes to minimize impact harshness, are adopted.
Structural rigidity of suspension Sub-frame increased to produce better vibrational and
acoustic isolation inside the passenger cabin.
