What is the actual measured ground clearance of the Audi A7?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Audi A6 is 13.2 cm, while the minimum ground clearance of the Audi A7 is also within the range of 12.5-13.5 cm. Ground clearance of other vehicles: The ground clearance of sedans generally ranges from 120-200 mm, while that of off-road vehicles is typically between 210-370 mm, and buses have a ground clearance of 220-370 mm. Introduction to minimum ground clearance: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The minimum ground clearance indicates the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the vehicle is fully loaded. It reflects the vehicle's ability to overcome obstacles (such as stones). The smaller the ground clearance, the poorer the ability to overcome obstacles.
I measured the ground clearance of the Audi A7, which is approximately 123mm in the standard chassis under unloaded conditions on level ground. This data was obtained using professional measuring tools, taken vertically from the middle fuel tank guard position of the chassis. The high-end version with air suspension is slightly higher in comfort mode, around 130mm, but drops to about 110mm when switched to dynamic mode. During the measurement, I found that the lowest points of both front and rear bumpers are higher than this value, so the passability mainly depends on this 123mm limit at the middle of the chassis. I remember once driving on a gravel road at 40km/h without any issues, but extra caution is needed when encountering steep bumps of 15cm. There might be a variation of around 5mm across different model years, so I advise fellow drivers to slow down when crossing ditches or bumps for safety.
