2 Answers
SUV heights generally range from 1600mm to 2400mm. Below are specific introductions to SUVs and their heights: Introduction to SUV models: SUV is the abbreviation for the English term sport-utility-vehicle, which translates to suburban utility vehicle or sport utility vehicle in Chinese. Based on functionality, SUVs can be categorized into urban and off-road types. Introduction to different SUV heights: Small SUVs are typically around 1720mm. Compact SUVs are generally about 1950mm. Midsize SUVs are usually around 2000mm. Large SUVs measure approximately 2300mm, while the largest full-size SUVs can reach up to 2400mm.
I've been driving SUVs for ten years, typically with heights ranging from 170 to 190 cm, depending on the model. Compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V may be around 165 cm, while mainstream midsize SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4 are about 168 cm. Full-size large SUVs like the Ford Explorer can reach up to 200 cm. This height provides a great view and comfortable driving, but be cautious when parking as low garage entrances might scrape the roof. My old SUV was 182 cm tall, which just fit my home garage. The height makes it easy to get in and out, especially with kids or elderly passengers, and offers ample cargo space. However, it does result in slightly higher wind resistance and fuel consumption on highways. It's advisable to measure your parking space before buying to avoid issues. Compact SUVs can start from 160 cm, while large ones may exceed 190 cm—choose based on actual needs rather than blindly opting for size.
