The ground clearance of the Tiggo 8 is 200mm. The correct term for chassis height should be minimum ground clearance, which refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car's chassis and the ground when the car is at its maximum load capacity. The passability of a car is largely reflected in the data of the minimum ground clearance. In previous standards, there were regulations for the minimum ground clearance, which usually had to be between 150mm and 160mm. The chassis height (minimum ground clearance) of family cars is usually in the range of 110mm to 150mm. For family cars, if the chassis height exceeds 130mm, the car can more easily pass through various complex road surfaces, but the high-speed stability is poorer. The smaller the ground clearance (below 110mm), the better the stability of the car at high speeds, but the passability is worse. Methods to increase car ground clearance: If you need to increase the ground clearance of the car, you can add spacers at a car modification shop. For better results, you can also replace the shock absorber. Impact of car ground clearance: The larger the 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 minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the car is fully loaded and stationary, used to characterize the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision.

I've been driving the Tiggo 8 for over a year, and the actual measured ground clearance is usually around 20 cm. The other day when I went on an outing, I specifically measured it with a ruler, and it was about 20.5 cm when unloaded. With two or three friends and luggage, it drops to around 19 cm. This height is perfectly fine for getting on and off curbs in the city and can easily handle small water puddles. In the summer, I adjust the tire pressure to an appropriate 2.5 to avoid scraping the undercarriage and affecting the battery, which also slightly improves the vehicle's passability. Overall, the Tiggo 8's ground clearance is designed very practically, suitable for daily commutes and short weekend trips, making it both worry-free and fuel-efficient to drive.

As a car enthusiast, I've tested the ground clearance of the Tiggo 8 multiple times, with actual measurements mostly ranging between 200 to 220 mm. The key factor is tire pressure: at the standard 2.3 bar, it's about 210 mm, but higher pressure like 2.8 bar can increase it to 220 mm, though it may reduce comfort. This is a decent performance among SUVs, with good off-road capability as tested on mild off-road surfaces; it's recommended to check the suspension system during regular maintenance to ensure stable height and prevent long-term deformation. Vehicle weight also affects height – tests show a decrease of 1 to 2 cm when fully loaded, so avoid overloading and choose flat roads for accurate measurements.

When taking my family out for a trip in the Chery Tiggo 8, the measured ground clearance of about 20 cm gave me more peace of mind regarding safety. My child enjoys watching the scenery from the back seat, and this height ensures an unobstructed view without scraping against road bumps. The measured clearance is 20 cm when unloaded and drops to 19 cm when fully loaded, which doesn't make much difference, but I regularly clean the dust from the undercarriage to prevent corrosion. It's suitable for family outings, handling rainy days or suburban roads with ease. The overall design is thoughtful, balancing comfort and protection.
