Flying carpet ride

The new Tiguan, Passat Variant, Skoda Superb and Kodiaq models will feature KYB’s new electronically controlled shock absorbers.

DCC Pro systems use double valve shock absorbers to independently control the extensions and compression oscillations caused by the car body and the wheel movements while driving. The damping characteristics are automatically adjusted in a continuous way to suit road conditions, resulting in what is described by KYB as a ‘flying carpet’ ride experience.

KYB and the VW Group have been working together for several years, including the sporty Audi RS suspension, and since then have co-operated extensively for the VW brand.
