The Luxgen7 SUV features a composite torsion beam rear suspension. Unlike the SX4's torsion beam rear suspension, its shock absorbers and springs are designed separately, with the drive half-shaft passing between them to connect to the drive wheel. Additionally, the torsion beam is offset downwards to clear the differential and drive half-shaft, resulting in relatively smaller ground clearance for the rear axle.

In contrast, the Buick Encore's rear suspension uses a torsion beam setup, with a similar layout to the Luxgen7 SUV. Its shock absorbers and springs are also arranged separately, but the torsion beam is positioned above the differential and drive half-shaft. Overall, the Luxgen7 SUV's torsion beam design is closer to the rear wheel axle, resembling a solid axle, and offers good load-bearing capacity.
