You have to admit that the current cars have been swept up in the sky by Chinese car companies!
For example, with more than 200,000 cars, it seems that it is not enough to see without automatic driving, overcharging, and intelligent cockpit. What's more, even more recently, all cars in their early 200,000s are equipped with IAS intelligent air suspension + CDC electromagnetic damping system as standard, which is really shocking.
You know, air suspension has always been a luxury exclusive to the automotive sector, and the door is only open to high-end models. For example, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Range Rover and other models, their starting prices are 8280,000 yuan, 82890,000 yuan, 94680,000 yuan, 14280,000 yuan.
Even if the models that apply air suspension go down, the price of models equipped with air suspension in the BBA group before 2018 will start at 600,000 yuan.
So why is it that only high-end luxury cars are equipped with air suspension?
As we all know, the air suspension has the advantages of better shock absorption ability, stronger support, free lifting chassis height, etc., and behind the realization of these advantages is because it has a very complex structure, which needs to be replaced with air springs on the basis of mechanical suspension structure, and the whole suspension system also adds control units, shock absorbers, air circuits, air distributors, air compressors, a variety of sensors and other components, the structural design is very complex and precise, and the cost is high, so air suspension usually appears on high-end models.
However, with the arrival of China's new energy vehicle tide, air suspension has gradually come down from the ivory tower of "luxury".
Nowadays, it will also be seen in many new car brand models, such as Weilai, Ideal, Lantu, etc., and the model ** has also hit below 400,000 yuan. Recently, Chery Star Era ES officially ** interval 22Starting from 80,000 units, the whole series is equipped with air suspension as standard, setting a new low. With the increase in penetration, it is likely that there will be models with air suspension at a price of no more than 200,000 yuan in the future.
But let's just say that hundreds of thousands of cars may not really need to be equipped with air suspension, after all, this thing has advantages and disadvantages.
When most car dealers sell cars to you, they only say that the comfort is better, but they will not tell you that the air suspension structure is complex, which is more likely to have problems than ordinary suspensions, which is also the reason why air suspension has not been widely used in the past ten years.
And the air spring used can only be replaced but not repaired, and the cost of replacing a gas spring is basically starting at 10,000 yuan. This is a lot of money for the average family.
If you have very high requirements for the comfort of the vehicle and can afford the maintenance costs in the later stage, of course, you can buy it with confidence. If you don't have any financial strength, don't bite the bullet, or you'll regret it.
