What is the ground clearance of the 2018 New Magotan?
2 Answers
2018 New Magotan has a ground clearance of 114mm, which provides good vehicle passability. However, it is necessary to slow down when driving through bumpy road sections. The minimum ground clearance of a vehicle refers to the chassis height when the vehicle is fully loaded or unloaded. The 2018 New Magotan adopts MacPherson independent front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension. The Magotan is the first B-class sedan to be produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. The dimensions of the New Magotan are 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The New Magotan features front-wheel drive and is equipped with electronic devices for driving safety, including ESP, AUTOHOLD, EPB, large-sized brake discs, and intelligent cruise control. Among these, ESP is the electronic stability program in Volkswagen's B-class vehicles.
I've driven quite a few cars, and the 2018 New Magotan generally has a ground clearance of around 140mm, which is quite moderate. For daily city driving, when encountering speed bumps or rough roads, it doesn't scrape the undercarriage as easily as those low-slung cars. When driving back to my hometown on dirt roads, it can easily handle small ditches and bumps, providing a stable and less bumpy ride. My friend's car has lower clearance and often scrapes the ground, making repairs troublesome. It's advisable to maintain standard tire pressure, as both overinflation and underinflation can affect the actual clearance. Regularly washing the undercarriage can also prevent rust. Overall, this height balances comfort and safety well, and it doesn't feel unstable at high speeds.
