The L06 is the first mass-production vehicle in China to use the fourth-generation MagneRide® magnetic ride suspension from BWI Group — the same adaptive damper system used in high-performance vehicles from Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Cadillac. The system adjusts damping up to 1,000 times per second, balancing comfort with sporty handling.
