Hi, can anyone explain to me the different suspension setups on Golf mk 7s and 8s please?

I’ve just traded in my 150ps mk8 Golf 1.5etsi Style petrol automatic for a 68 reg 130 ps mk7.5 1.5 SE Nav automatic. For all it’s (electrical) faults, the mk8 was a lovely car to drive. The ride was great and it sailed over bumps and potholes without issue. The suspension was really smooth. By comparison, the mk7.5 is like driving a bus and I find it slightly jarring as I feel a lot more of the bumps and road imperfections.

Is there a different suspension setup for mk8 Golfs or was the suspension better due to the Style being a higher spec model? Do some mk7s have a better suspension than others? Would a 150ps mk7.5 Match Edition have a different suspension to my current 130ps SE Nav?

Thanks
