What are the dimensions of the Ling Shang in terms of length, width, and height?
2 Answers
The dimensions of the Ling Shang are 4695mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, as per official data. The length of the Ling Shang refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The Ling Shang is powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 126kW and a maximum torque of 205Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km under standard driving conditions. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is designed to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of a vehicle's width data lies in ensuring adequate space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
I've personally experienced the dimensions of the Toyota Levin, which is approximately 4695mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height. This size is quite fitting for city driving—neither too big nor too small. Parking is relatively easy, especially parallel parking on the roadside, without the hassle often associated with SUVs. The interior space feels adequate; the rear seats comfortably accommodate two adults, and there's enough room for luggage or shopping bags without feeling cramped. In terms of handling, the moderate height reduces wind resistance, making it stable on highways. A minor drawback might be its width, requiring extra caution when navigating narrow alleys. Overall, it strikes a balance between practicality and comfort, making it suitable for family use or daily commutes. It also helps save on parking fees and fuel consumption, but it's wise to test the space to meet your specific needs.
