What is the appropriate ground clearance for a car?
1 Answers
Car ground clearance varies depending on the vehicle type: 1. Sedans have a ground clearance between 110 and 150 millimeters; 2. SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 and 250 millimeters; 3. Sports cars have a ground clearance below 100 millimeters. Ground clearance determines a vehicle's off-road capability, referring to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding wheels) and the supporting surface when fully loaded and stationary, indicating the car's ability to pass over obstacles like stones or tree stumps without collision. The greater the ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but with a higher center of gravity, stability is reduced; the smaller the ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but with a lower center of gravity, stability can be increased.
