What is the ground clearance of the 11th generation Honda Civic?
1 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the 10th generation Honda Civic 1.0T model is 110mm, while the 1.5T model has a minimum ground clearance of 105mm. Characteristics of high ground clearance: Commonly seen SUVs and off-road vehicles have higher ground clearance, which provides strong off-road capability and reduces concerns about scraping the chassis. However, higher ground clearance also results in poorer vibration damping, making the ride comfort inferior to that of sedans. Additionally, higher ground clearance raises the center of gravity, reducing body stability, especially during cornering where side tilt can be more pronounced, thus requiring lower speed limits. Characteristics of low ground clearance: Lower ground clearance reduces the center of gravity, improving tire grip and benefiting vehicle acceleration. It also reduces air resistance and minimizes power loss, allowing the car's performance to be fully utilized—this is why performance cars typically have very low ground clearance. However, low ground clearance results in poorer road adaptability, requiring the vehicle to operate on very smooth roads.
