What is the ground clearance of the 2017 CR-V?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Honda CR-V 2017 is 193mm when fully loaded and 208mm when unloaded. Below is a related introduction to the minimum ground clearance: 1. Minimum ground clearance size: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability. 2. Factors to consider: The minimum ground clearance must consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, and the possibility that the car will not scrape when approaching the edge of a general sidewalk. If the vehicle is intended for sale in a specific country or region, the quality of local roads must also be considered. At the same time, the value of the minimum ground clearance has certain limitations, as it is related to the vehicle's function and aerodynamics. For example, sports cars have a relatively small minimum ground clearance, while SUVs have a relatively large minimum ground clearance.
I've been driving a 2017 CR-V for several years and feel its ground clearance is quite good. Officially, the minimum ground clearance is 198mm, which is above average among urban SUVs. I live in the suburbs and often drive on dirt roads and small slopes, and this height rarely causes my car to scrape the undercarriage. Compared to sedans, the CR-V has much better off-road capability, safely passing through water-filled potholes or rocky roads. I've also tried adding a roof rack, which didn’t significantly affect the height. During maintenance, it’s important to check tire pressure and the suspension system to avoid reduced clearance affecting driving stability. Although higher ground clearance slightly increases fuel consumption, the difference is only 1-2 points in daily driving, making it very practical. Overall, the 198mm design is well-balanced, suitable for family trips and occasional adventures.
