What is the ground clearance height of the Touareg?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Touareg's chassis adopts a front MacPherson and rear E-type multi-link suspension combination. The measured ground clearance height under full load is 160mm. Below the front bumper assembly, there is a lower edge of an ABS protective plate, with an unloaded ground clearance of 190mm. Here is some information about the Touareg: Introduction: Touareg Teramont, SAIC Volkswagen's first large SUV, brings consumers a new large SUV experience. Appearance: In terms of appearance, the SAIC Volkswagen Touareg draws heavily on the design of the CrossBlue concept car, making the overall look very imposing.
I've been driving the Touareg for several years, mainly using it for off-roading in the suburbs. The ground clearance is generally around 195mm, which is quite good. This height allows the car to easily cross small ditches and bumps. I often drive on mountain roads and dirt paths, and it rarely scrapes the undercarriage. However, if it's too high, the car can feel a bit wobbly when turning, so you need to control the speed. For regular maintenance, I also add an undercarriage armor to prevent damage from gravel. Ground clearance affects the wading depth, and the Touareg can handle shallow water areas of about 600mm, which is very practical for rainy-day driving. If you're thinking about modifying the suspension to increase the height, it might exceed 220mm, but fuel consumption could increase by about 10%. It's recommended to customize based on your needs. Overall, a clearance of 195mm to 205mm is suitable for various road conditions, balancing both off-roading and daily use.
