Audi A8 testing adaptive air suspension Whilst not using high pressure mineral oil (as does the Citroën system), the system aims to achieve a result similar to the hydropneumatic suspension arrangement introduced in 1954 by Citroën. One of the earliest implementations of air suspension was by Messier[1] in the 1920s. With a "leg up" on other companies[citation needed], GM used its experience with commercial buses' air suspension to introduce systems for its car lines, beginning with the 1958 model year. Air bags at each wheel replaced the standard coil springs, and had sensors to keep the car level under load and in turns. It was, however too slow to react in sudden maneuvers. Period reviews rated the air suspension somewhat superior in ride quality, but not dramatically. Some reliability issues plagued these systems, as well. Thus, as an option, air suspension was short lived in that era. Vehicles that use air suspension today include models from Maybach, Rolls-Royce, Lexus, Cadillac (GM), Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover/Range Rover, SsangYong, Audi, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Lincoln and Ford, among others. Citroën now feature Hydractive suspension, a computer controlled version of their Hydropneumatic system, which features sport and comfort modes, lowers the height of the car at high speeds and continues to maintain ride height when the engine is not running. The air suspension designs from Land Rover, SsangYong, Subaru and some Audi, VW, and Lexus models, feature height ...
