What does the minimum ground clearance of a car mean?

[GemmaFitz]

The minimum ground clearance of a car refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to indicate the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The design of the minimum ground clearance must take into account the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, as well as the possibility that the car will not scrape when approaching the edge of a regular sidewalk. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
