Multi-link suspension in production cars?

[TwinklinPixi3]

So I'm doing a bit of research and have hit a bit of a brick wall - I'm trying to find out what production cars use multi-link suspension (technology trickled down from F1). I can imagine off-road cars do, but do any road cars use it that you know of?

Many thanks

Ah fab thanks!
My Dad used to have an RX-8 so could ask him about what it was like to drive etc

Might not be thinking of the same thing here, but KTM X-Bow, BAC Mono?

I've got a feeling some Qashqai's do.

Jag XE, XF, and possibly F-Pace.

Shedloads have multi-link on the rear.

I can assure you it's nothing like an F1 car!

I think most cars do on the back these days?

Aren't F1 cars typically double wishbone (which is admittedly a form of multi-link).

OP, are you sure you're not thinking of FRIC suspension?

The 2CV had that.

Pretty sure even 10+yr old Subarus have multi link at the rear for better road holding. Tyre wear suffers though as the geometry is basically continuously variable.

Anything RWD that has an independent rear should be - well, anything in the last ten years.

The OP needs to provide some context to the question. 'Multi link' as it refers to road cars has been around for a long time, and a list of all cars so equipped would be long and pointless without some context. Road car suspension is very different from F1, and there's really no 'trickle down' from one to the other, at least not in the last 50-odd years, and doubtful before that.

F1 cars since the introduction of aero and banning of active suspension don't have any actual suspension for a start.

I'm thinking he means Double Wishbone as that's what F1 cars have.

The S2000 had front and rear double wishbone setup and it was a nice little package.

Double wishbone suspension has been around since the 1930s, long before F1.

They have a lot more articulation than most people imagine.

Most Lotus` are double wishbone
