How high is the chassis of the Passat?

[LaCole]

Chassis height, also known as the minimum ground clearance, is 110 millimeters for the Passat. It is highly recommended to install an engine guard plate. The purpose of installing an engine guard plate is to protect components like the oil sensor underneath, which are prone to damage from impacts. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. More details are as follows: 1. Regarding minimum ground clearance, previous standards specified it to be between approximately 150-160mm, but current standards have eliminated this rigid requirement. 2. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. 3. A smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability.
