In response to the automotive industry's demand for superior ride comfort and enhanced handling, this study explores alternatives to passive suspension systems. Specifically, Magnetorheological (MR) dampers, as semiactive components, are investigated for their potential to optimize suspension efficiency while ensuring top-notch ride quality. The research involves modelling and simulating both Passive and Semi-active suspension systems within vehicle frameworks. Evaluating the vehicle's performance during cornering and straight-line motion across various suspension setups—passive system, passive system with an anti-roll bar, Semi-Active system without and with an anti-roll bar—provides insight into their comparative efficacy. By scrutinizing key performance metrics during cornering and linear motion, the study aims to pinpoint the optimal alternative to the passive suspension system. Employing MATLAB/SIMULINK facilitates the comprehensive analysis of multiple car models, aiding in the identification of the suspension setup that best balances ride comfort and handling. Ultimately, this research endeavours to illuminate the most suitable suspension system, offering a refined equilibrium between comfort and handling, thereby aiding in enhancing overall vehicle performance across diverse driving scenarios
