More details emerge of Citroën's new “hydraulic cushion” suspension

First details are emerging of Citroën's new vehicle refinement package including an innovative suspension system, the existence of which was revealed by Automotive Engineering late last year; see http://articles.sae.org/14498/.

At that time, Citroën CEO Linda Jackson said of the still secret program: “The technology we are developing will deliver what I call the ‘Citroën ride.’” Since then the Advanced Comfort Program has moved toward production. It uses secondary dampers that Citroën quaintly refers to as “hydraulic cushions” to complement the regular shock absorber and springs of each suspension unit.
