Have you ever wondered why your Cadillac seems to float over the road, absorbing all bumps and roughness without allowing vibrations into to the cabin? The key, if you have the feature installed, is Cadillac Magnetic Ride Control, which analyses the road’s surface at a staggering 1,000 times per second, continually adjusting shock absorption with millisecond speed.
Understanding Cadillac’s Magnetic Ride Control
The World’s Fastest Damping System
Cadillac’s MagneRide 4.0 is the world’s fastest suspension damping system. It’s a fourth-generation iteration of this groundbreaking technology, delivering 45 percent better damping than its predecessor, which was already world-leading tech when it comes to making your drives a feather-soft experience.
Instantaneous Electromagnetic Responsivity
Let’s talk about how this amazing feature works. One of the most important components of a suspension is the shock absorbers, which typically have springs to cushion bumps from the road so you feel vibrations less from inside the cabin. With Magnetic Ride Control, each shock absorber contains a combination of electromagnets and magnetorheological fluid instead of springs and the degree of magnetic charge in each shock determines the degree of damping provided.
As you drive, accelerometers on the wheels scan the road, taking precise real-time measurements of the surface conditions 1,000 times each second, as previously mentioned. Each time the tarmac alters in some small way or the pressure changes when you corner, accelerate, or brake, signals are sent with the speed of electricity (which is effectively instantaneous), and the charge inside each individual shock absorber is loosened or stiffened to the exact degree required.
You Experience an Incredibly Smooth Ride
As your shocks work tirelessly away below, adjusting at blistering speeds, you remain blissfully peaceful in the cabin above, experiencing only a continual smooth even glide over all road surfaces. If you’ve never driven a Cadillac with Magnetic Ride Control before, it’s something you really have to try for yourself to believe. Pay us a visit to enjoy the experience.
Cadillac Magnetic Ride Control Keeps You Safer Too
Some drivers are unaware of how vital the shock absorbers are for road safety. Without responsive shocks, it’s possible for the wheels of a car to momentarily lose contact with the tarmac, which can be catastrophic. When wheels suddenly encounter wet surfaces or struggle with traction in an emergency situation, both the quality of your tires and your shocks will determine whether or not you experience a collision.
The more responsive your shocks and damping, the safer you are and the more control you have over your car. And when it comes to shock responsiveness, nothing on the road beats Magnetic Ride Control.
