2 Answers
The chassis height of the Volkswagen Tiguan is 18 centimeters. The Tiguan is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. It features a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body style, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 160ps and a maximum torque of 250nm. This vehicle adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It utilizes electric power steering and has a unibody construction.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Tiguan for a while now, and its ground clearance is approximately 180mm, which is quite suitable for daily city driving. It's less likely to scrape the chassis when going over curbs or parking on the roadside. If you frequently drive on rural paths or bumpy roads, this height is manageable, but it's still lower than professional off-road vehicles. If you're into serious off-roading, I'd recommend adding an underbody guard for protection. I've tried driving through water during rainy days, and when the water depth exceeds 150mm, it can be a bit concerning. Fortunately, the Tiguan's suspension system is well-designed, minimizing the sense of bumpiness. Overall, this ground clearance makes the car very stable to drive, ensuring safety for family trips.
