What is the actual measured ground clearance of the T-Roc?

[MarcusLynn]

The actual measured ground clearance of the T-Roc is 152mm. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability; a smaller minimum ground clearance diminishes the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or rough ground, but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability. Here are some additional details: 1. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the bottom rigid part of the vehicle. A vehicle's ground clearance varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded. Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load—the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. 2. Vehicles with smaller ground clearance have a lower center of gravity but poorer off-road capability.

Last time I took my T-Roc for maintenance, I specifically measured the ground clearance. The official specification says 152mm, but actual measurements showed this number varies. When parked on level ground and measuring the lowest point of the chassis with a tape measure in unloaded condition, it was about 162mm. The key factor is the vehicle's load condition - during our last family trip with five passengers and the trunk fully loaded with tents and a barbecue grill, the measurement dropped to just 138mm. The mechanic said this is normal, as SUV suspensions typically sag about 10% under heavy load. Daily commuting rarely causes scraping, but when driving on mountain roads or over speed bumps with a full load, I need to slow down significantly.

As a frequent construction site visitor, I pay special attention to the T-Roc's ground clearance. Through practical use, I found the main issue isn't the official data, but the lowest point location. For example, I measured the mid-section exhaust pipe clearance at only 143mm, lower than the claimed 152mm. This causes exhaust scraping on steep slopes. I recommend fellow owners to carefully check the engine guard and exhaust system clearance - these are the real factors affecting off-road capability. Additionally, switching to winter tires reduced height by 5mm, while increasing tire pressure can regain 2mm. These details significantly impact actual clearance performance.

My friend just bought a T-Roc and we tested its ground clearance. When the car was unloaded, we measured with a level and vernier calipers, finding different data at the front and rear wheels: approximately 149mm near the front suspension and 163mm at the rear wheel position. This difference affects the approach angle when overcoming obstacles, so it's advisable to cross speed bumps at an angle in actual driving. Additionally, a full fuel tank lowers the clearance by 3mm compared to an empty tank, and installing an engine guard reduces the overall clearance by 8mm. It's perfectly adequate for city commuting, but on gravel roads, speed should be kept under 30km/h to prevent scraping the undercarriage.

We have conducted on-site measurements of the ground clearance for multiple T-Roc models in the dealership. Using professional laser rangefinders, the unladen ground clearance typically fluctuates between 150-155mm, with slight variations between different production batches. Two key observations: First, when the vehicle tilts by 3 degrees, the lowest point's height drops sharply by 20mm, so parking on level ground is essential for accurate measurement. Second, post-rain suspension height is approximately 5mm lower than on sunny days. We recommend owners visually inspect chassis clearance weekly; if it consistently measures below 140mm, suspension springs should be examined.
