What does the approach angle of a car mean?

[LeMaci]

The approach angle refers to the angle between the ground and a line drawn from the frontmost protruding point of the car to the front wheel when the car is fully loaded and stationary. Here is some relevant information: 1. Concept: It is the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and a plane tangent to the outer edge of the front tire (under static load). Any rigid component fixed to the vehicle in front of the front axle must not be below this plane. 2. Function: The approach angle is one of the indicators used to measure a car's off-road performance. A larger approach angle makes it less likely for the front end to scrape against obstacles. This parameter alone does not completely determine a vehicle's off-road capability; other parameters and actual conditions must also be considered. The approach angle is not only important for SUVs; sedans also need a certain level of off-road capability. Situations like driving onto curbs, small steep slopes, or boarding ferries can be encountered in daily use, and a larger approach angle helps prevent the front end from scraping.
