Hi Citroenfreunde, with the Xantia Avtiva Citroen once had a model on offer which, thanks to a special hydraulic construction, almost completely undercut any lateral inclination of the body. This vehicle was capable of extreme transverse accelerations of up to 1.2 g. A dimension, in which a Ferrari F 40 reaches, but sporty saloons far miss. Although the current Hydrative suspensions cannot prevent the transverse inclination, as the AFS in a Xantia Activ a, but they can still effectively reduce them. However, in the test reports of our German automobile magazines hydractive Citroen always do much worse in curvy courses than the competition, which is equipped with unregulated steel suspensions. What is the reason for this? Is this due to the test drivers, to whom the hydraulic suspension suggests a soft steel suspension, why they dare not drive through the curves quickly. Or are the possible lateral accelerations the current hydraulic suspensions actually lower than those of the steel-sprung competition? Greetings, HIPPO
