What cars with independent suspension?

Virtually all modern cars, except for some very basic, low-cost models, use independent suspension at least on the front wheels. Independent suspension means that each wheel can move independently of the others on the same axle. This provides a much smoother and more controlled ride.

Therefore, listing all cars with independent suspension would be impractical. However, here's a breakdown to illustrate the point:

* Almost all cars manufactured in the past 20 years: You'll find independent suspension (often independent front and rear) in nearly every passenger car, SUV, and crossover from major manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, etc. This includes most models across all price ranges.

* Exceptions (mostly older or very basic vehicles): Some very budget-oriented cars, particularly older models, might still use a dependent or live axle suspension in the rear. This is less common now, especially in passenger cars. Some older trucks and off-road vehicles might also retain this type of suspension for cost or durability reasons.

To find out if a *specific* car model has independent suspension, you should:

* Check the owner's manual: This will usually specify the type of suspension.

* Look up the specifications online: Car websites and forums often list detailed technical specifications, including suspension type.

* Consult a repair manual for the vehicle: This would have highly detailed information.

In short, assuming we're talking about relatively modern passenger vehicles, it's much easier to find a car *without* independent suspension than one *with* it.
