Description
The KW HLS Evolution is designed to enhance the practicality of sporty and lowered vehicles by providing the ability to quickly increase ground clearance with the push of a button. Ideal for navigating obstacles such as speed bumps, railway crossings, construction zones, and steep driveways, this system helps protect your vehicle’s aerodynamic components, underbody, and oil pan from potential damage. Depending on the model and configuration, the HLS Evolution can raise the vehicle by up to 45 millimeters at either the front axle or both axles.
Key Features
- Instant Ground Clearance Adjustment: Lift your vehicle within seconds to clear obstacles and prevent damage.
- Two Versions:
- HLS 2 Evolution: Upgraded pump for lifting only the front axle; now quieter and lighter.
- HLS 4: Lifts all axles simultaneously; an upgraded version is in development.
- Vehicle-Specific and Universal Options: Available as a complete solution with KW coilovers or as a retrofit kit for existing KW coilovers or OEM suspensions.
- Advanced Operation:
- Activation: Through an LED button inside the vehicle or an optional remote control.
- Speed Compatibility: Operable at speeds up to 80 km/h.
- Lifting Time: 4-5 seconds for HLS 2 Evolution; up to 8 seconds for HLS 4.
- Durability: Corrosion-resistant with aluminum cylinder components.
Benefits of HLS 2 Evolution
- Upgraded Pump: Operates more quietly and is lighter by approximately 3-4 kilograms.
- Optimized Installation: Less intrusive, can be integrated into the engine compartment, avoiding trunk installation.
- Improved Magnetic Valve: Redesigned to be less susceptible to contamination.
Functionality
The KW HLS Evolution features a hydraulic cylinder mounted between the spring plate and the spring on the KW strut. This design ensures that the system does not compress during driving, preserving optimal driving dynamics.
All HLS variants include a control unit that integrates with the vehicle's onboard electronics, allowing the vehicle to automatically return to its original ride height when exceeding a certain speed.
