This application provides a vehicle and a control method for a vehicle suspension. The vehicle includes a first component, a second component, and a vehicle suspension. The vehicle suspension is located between the first component and the second component. The first component is a component that the vehicle suspension bears, the second component is configured to bear the vehicle suspension and the first component, and the vehicle suspension includes a variable damper connected between the first component and the second component. The variable damper is configured to provide a first force to the first component based on a first acceleration of the first component, to control a displacement of the first component relative to the second component in a height direction of the vehicle. In the embodiments of this application, bumps in a driving process of the vehicle can be effectively reduced, so that vehicle ride comfort is improved.
