Suspension question - multi-link vs twist beam
Hello Guys,I am about to order a Nissan Qashqai in the Netherlands and i have one question regarding the suspension.I`m wondering which car to chosse - whether the diesel, which will reuslt in less taxes or the bigger petrol enigne... So the main difference after horse powers is the suspension. As looking in the dealer`s booklet the DIG-T 163 is available with multi link suspension, whether the Diesel dCi 110 are with twist beam design.What is the differencce between the two?Thank you in Advance! If my post is not in the correct section, i appologize.
Multi link gives a softer ride, if you can actually notice it.
Single beam stiffens the back end of the car, supposedly harder ride, but I cant feel it in day to day driving.
More to go wrong and replace with multi link.
Single beam cheaper to produce.
If you are not going off road you wont really notice any difference.
