Is the ground clearance the same for the 2019 Corolla and Levin?

[HenryMarie]

2019 Corolla and Levin have different ground clearances, with the Corolla's ground clearance being 3 cm higher than the Levin's. Both the Corolla and Levin use MacPherson independent suspension for the front suspension and E-type multi-link independent suspension for the rear suspension, both equipped with electric power steering and a unibody structure. Both the Corolla and Levin are available in pure gasoline and hybrid versions. The pure gasoline version uses a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine with 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 185 Nm, featuring VVT-iW technology and direct fuel injection. The hybrid version uses a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine with 98 horsepower and a maximum torque of 142 Nm, featuring VVT-iW technology and multi-point fuel injection.

Speaking of the 2019 Corolla and Levin, I've driven my friend's new car, and the ground clearance is indeed the same, both around 15 cm. This is because they are both Toyota TNGA platform vehicles, sharing the same foundation, so the ground clearance is designed identically. In daily driving, whether on city roads or ordinary rural roads, this height is quite suitable—not too low to cause scraping nor too high to cause swaying in turns, and it's also quite fuel-efficient. I think this consistency is important. For novice drivers, there's no need to agonize over differences when choosing a car; it's just about the exterior and configuration details. However, if you often drive on rough roads or in snowy conditions, you need to be careful. After all, sedans have limited height, so considering these conditions, you might want to add protective accessories. Overall, Toyota has done a good job in this aspect, ensuring a balance between safety and comfort. When buying a car, I recommend measuring it on-site, but the data manuals all show consistency.

I've been paying attention to car specifications for many years. The 2019 Corolla and Levin share the same ground clearance, approximately 145mm, with no significant difference. They are built on the same platform, known as the TNGA architecture, which means their suspension and vehicle height are uniformly designed. This has a notable impact on daily driving—for instance, both cars handle speed bumps equally well, with minimal bumpiness. Having test-driven both, I felt no difference; in fact, the moderate height contributes to lower wind resistance, saving some fuel costs. If you're into modifications, the identical height means parts are interchangeable, making maintenance easier. However, if you frequently drive in mountainous areas, you might find the clearance slightly low, in which case an SUV would be a more reliable choice. In summary, their core specifications match, so you can confidently choose either without worry.

The ground clearance is the same, both around 15 cm. I've been commuting with a Corolla for a long time, and later rented a Levin for mountain roads. The ground clearance is identical, no issues at all. The designs are the same, offering good passability, and maintenance parts are also interchangeable.
