MagneRide is BWI Group's proprietary name for its semi-active Magnetorheological suspension control system.[1] MagneRide has been in production for almost ten years, primarily applied to passenger vehicles. [2] Originally produced by Delphi Corporation MagneRide, along with the rest of the Delphi Brakes and Suspension ("Global Ride Dynamics") business, was sold to Beijing West Industries Group of China (BWI), Inc. in 2009. It uses Magnetorheological fluid to adjust the damping rate of the primary suspension damper based on road conditions

Applications

MagneRide was first used by General Motors in the Cadillac Seville STS (2002) and is now used as a standard suspension or an option in many models for Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, and other GM vehicles. It can also be found on some non-US vehicles such as: Holden Special Vehicles, Ferrari, and Audi.
