What is the Ground Clearance of a Car?
1 Answers
Generally, the ground clearance of a sedan ranges between 110 millimeters and 150 millimeters. Below is an introduction to ground clearance: Minimum Ground Clearance: This refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. It indicates the car's ability to overcome obstacles (such as rocks, etc.). The smaller the ground clearance, the poorer the ability to overcome obstacles. Sedans typically navigate flat urban roads, hence their ground clearance is small. Off-road vehicles have a larger minimum ground clearance to overcome larger obstacles. The Relationship Between Ground Clearance and Terrain Passability: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
