air suspension is a stunning configuration and is a top-level "premium configuration", so the other side of it is that it feels average to use and is extremely painful to repair. The configuration of
is generally only available on top administrative models, in order to improve some driving comfort. Of course, the improvement is very limited. The vehicle's comfort, handling performance, and filtering ability are all designed at the factory. Whether there is an air suspension or not, the feeling of riding is not very big.
The air suspension is expensive, which is very excessive.
This may be the most expensive configuration besides the engine and gearbox. Judging from the accessories, a relatively excellent set of air suspension is about 20,000 yuan, and the entry-level air suspension is priced at thousands of yuan.
Of course, I am talking about the cost of accessories. If you put a logo on them, the pricing will be multiple times. For example, Mercedes-Benz's air suspension is sold in packages and other configurations. It is very common for a high-end model to be priced at 100,000 yuan.
And air suspension is not only expensive to buy, but also more expensive to repair.
Especially old cars, such as the air suspension of Mercedes-Benz and BMW and administrative cars 10 years ago, one shock absorber is already a few thousand yuan in repair costs, and the replacement and repair costs of a set of air suspension are at least 20,000 yuan.
is easy to break, it cannot be used without repair, and the high cost of repair is an embarrassing and helplessness in the later use of the suspension.
Back to the use, the biggest advantage of this configuration of air suspension is that it can help you adjust the chassis height, and the suspension is lower at high speed, allowing you to obtain better stability. The gravel road surface is slightly raised to give you better passability.
But in fact, the air suspension can bring little changes, and the driving experience help is not as good as imagined.
In my opinion, it is better to make the suspension complete than to configure the high-cost configuration of air suspension. Products that are truly comfortable and have higher-level control do not require air suspension at all.
The reason is very simple.
1. Air suspension will increase design complexity, greatly increase unreliability, and more complex processes are not conducive to designing the suspension structure, and become a burden on the suspension, wheel hub, and drive shaft systems.
2. Comfort and handling are considered as a whole. NVH, lighting, body white design, seat angle, filling, steering feel, and power system matching all need to be excellent. Only the air suspension does not mean comfort, and handling will be better. The barrel effect needs to be correctly understood.
Of course, the air suspension configuration is also being decentralized, and the 300,000-yuan model is also equipped with air suspension.
But after listening to my advice, don’t touch the air suspension. The reason is not only that it will not improve your driving experience, but will also increase your expenditure in all aspects of costs. Car purchase and maintenance will have a great impact.
.3 million cars should not be equipped with air suspension. Some companies impose this configuration in order to improve their competitiveness. However, in fact, the air suspension itself is not a configuration for models with a capacity of less than 500,000, which is mainly related to consumption capacity.
In the past, the 7 Series and S-class were only equipped with air suspension because these cars are comfortable and have excellent handling performance. In addition, the user group is absolutely short of money, so they don’t care about consuming air suspension.
But I absolutely don’t believe that people who buy a car for 300,000 yuan don’t care about the repair costs that cost tens of thousands of yuan.
