Hi all,

 

I'm waiting for the Enyaq Coupe to be released and I'm considering the DCC package for it.

I've tried finding our what type of suspension is included in the DCC package but couldn't find clear answers.

 

Does anyone have DCC on their Enyaq? (I assume they'll be the same type for the Coupe version.. maybe tuned a bit stiffer?)

Is it variable spring shocks in the front and air cushions in the back or how does Skoda do it?

 

If anyone has this option added, what's it like? Is it better that the normal suspension in any way?

 

All answers are appreciated.

DCC is variable electronically controlled shock absorbers.

 

The actual springs are not part of the system (but vehicles fitted with DCC are often lowered by about 1cm, so might not have identical springs as non-DCC cars.

 

You also need to remember that the suspension is a secondary system (cushioning the body from movements of wheels) so is absorbing dips and hollows in roads.   It is not the primary system (between road and wheels) so isn’t designed to deal with imperfections in the tarmac.  That is handled by the rubber in the tyres.   So if where you live roads have billiard table smooth surfaces you can have big wheel rims and thin tyres.  But if road surfaces are poor then opt for smaller rims and deeper tyres as they will absorb the small ripples much better.

 

One other thing is shock absorbers usually need changing at intervals (every few years depends on use) and DCC ones are very expensive so factor that in if you intend to keep the car for years.
