The Hongqi E-HS3 indeed utilizes an independent suspension system.
Its front suspension features a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension. Both types are commonly encountered independent suspensions.
As a compact pure electric SUV under the Hongqi brand, the E-HS3's suspension system is responsible for connecting the wheels to the body, ensuring the vehicle can operate smoothly. Without a suspension, the car cannot drive normally.
Car suspensions can be categorized into independent and non-independent types, with independent suspensions including MacPherson, multi-link, double wishbone, double ball joint, and double arm suspensions.
The multi-link suspension is an improved version based on the double wishbone suspension, replacing the components of the double wishbone with separate links, resulting in a more complex structure. Although it incurs higher costs, it significantly enhances wheel grip, thus improving vehicle comfort and handling.
The MacPherson strut, being the most commonly used independent suspension, has a simple structure and is widely applied, typically consisting of an L-shaped control arm that saves space and is cost-effective; hence, most vehicles utilize this design for the front suspension.
The double ball joint suspension is an enhancement of the strut widely used in sports cars.
