The German quality watchdog said the wheelbase has a significant impact on driving behavior and comfort.
The German authority explained that the wheelbase is the distance between the axles of the car, noting that the saloon models of the middle class often feature a relatively long wheelbase; Its length is about three meters between the front and rear axles, for example, the length of the wheelbase in the Volkswagen Golf is about 2.60 meters.
The long wheelbase provides roominess in the interior, such as increased legroom in the rear seats, and long wheelbase cars drive more quietly than small cars.
As for cars with a short wheelbase, it is easy to maneuver thanks to the short turning circle; Therefore, it is suitable for sporty driving, such as the Smart car, which has a wheelbase of about 1.90 metres.
However, cars with a short wheelbase remain uneventful on the road; Since the suspension assembly cannot absorb the unevenness of the road as well as it happens in the case of cars with a long wheelbase.
