Better Bump Absorption Over Singapore's Speed Humps
Singapore's residential roads feature frequent speed bumps and traffic calming measures. The Sealion 7's 2,225-2,435 kg weight can make factory suspension feel firm over these obstacles, especially with passengers or cargo. Profender's progressive spring rates and 16-way adjustable damping help manage impact forces more effectively, reducing harshness transmitted to the cabin.
Improved Composure in Multi-Story Carparks
Navigating tight carpark ramps with the Sealion 7's 4,830mm length and battery weight can highlight the stock suspension's limitations. Profender car suspension systems provide better body control during direction changes and incline transitions, making carpark navigation feel more settled and predictable despite the vehicle's substantial dimensions.
Calmer Highway Driving at Speed
The Sealion 7's 480 km range makes it practical for extended expressway journeys. When carrying multiple passengers or luggage, factory suspension can feel less composed at highway speeds, particularly in the Performance AWD variant with 523 hp. Profender suspension maintains better stability and reduces the floating sensation some drivers experience during high-speed cruising.
Enhanced Load Handling for Family Use
With 520L of boot space expandable to 1,789L, the Sealion 7 serves as a practical premium family vehicle. Factory suspension may struggle to maintain ride quality when fully loaded for weekend trips or Malaysia journeys. Profender's adjustable damping allows fine-tuning for different load conditions, ensuring comfort whether driving solo or with a full complement of passengers and cargo.
Better Body Control During Dynamic Driving
With its 1,925mm width and elevated center of gravity as an SUV, the Sealion 7 benefits from improved body control, particularly in the Performance AWD variant. Profender car suspension enhances lateral stability during spirited driving, reducing the body roll that can occur with the factory setup when utilizing the vehicle's 523 hp and 4.5-second 0-100 km/h capability.
Improved Comfort Over Road Imperfections
Singapore's urban roads and expressways present various surface imperfections that the factory suspension transmits into the cabin. Owners who have switched to Profender car suspension report better filtering of these smaller disturbances, creating a more refined ride quality during daily commutes and longer journeys that matches the Sealion 7's premium positioning.
Consistent Comfort Across Drive Modes
The Sealion 7's multiple drive modes and performance capabilities can create varying suspension behavior with the factory setup. Profender car suspension provides more consistent comfort across different driving scenarios, whether using economy mode for daily commuting or sport mode for more spirited driving on expressways.
Tropical Climate Durability
Singapore's year-round humidity and tropical heat accelerate suspension component wear. Profender car suspension systems feature zinc-coated components tested to ISO 9227 standards for over 240 hours, providing better corrosion resistance than standard factory coatings, particularly important for a premium vehicle with higher ownership expectations.
