Which new vehicles do you consider to be smoothest over rough bumpy roads? I know high end luxury sedans are smooth. I’d like to know what vehicles in entry level brands around the $25,000 range are smooth over bumps.

Easy, just get thicker tires, most economy cars have mushy suspensions. Luxury performance cars are the worst over bumps. I always hate driving behind Audis and BMWs at a shopping center because they have to tippy toe over bumps while I just fly through bumps with my Honda Pilot like they don't exist.

This has got to be the smoothest suspension, but I don't think any of it ever made it to consumer application.

Bose's electromagnetic active suspension:

Well, Crown Vick has suspension specifically modified to go over speed bumps. I actually saw them do it. Quite impressive.

That's nice and everything, but the original poster said he wanted a NEW vehicle, so sadly your police intercepter is disqualified.

The totally awesome hovercraft I recommended can handle speed bumps too, and you can get a brand new one for $24,900. I think it's clearly the best choice.
