What is the ground clearance of the 2019 Golf?
2 Answers
2019 Golf has a ground clearance of 107 mm, which is used to indicate the ability to pass obstacles. Whether a car can smoothly pass through bumpy terrain is directly measured by its ground clearance, which also affects the vehicle's overall passability, dynamic stability, and even the coordination of its appearance. Both excessively high and low ground clearance have certain drawbacks. The 2019 Golf has a total of 11 models on sale, featuring 3 types of displacements: 1.2T, 1.4T, and 1.6L, with 3 transmission options: dual-clutch, manual, and automatic. The engine has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum horsepower of 150 PS, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The 2019 Golf adopts a conventional H-shaped subframe, with a relatively small overall structure, slightly reducing the weight of the front end.
The official ground clearance of the 2019 Golf is approximately 155 mm. I remember driving this car in the city, where it was completely sufficient and didn't frequently scrape the undercarriage. It also handled garage ramps smoothly. However, if you often drive in suburban areas or on dirt roads, this height might not provide enough traction on slippery surfaces. In practical use, when fully loaded with passengers or cargo, the clearance will decrease slightly, so it's advisable to check the weight distribution in the trunk before driving. Additionally, the degree of tire wear affects the height, so regularly checking tire pressure can maintain optimal clearance. On icy or snowy winter roads, higher ground clearance reduces the risk of getting stuck, and the Golf performs decently in this regard. Overall, it's very suitable for daily commuting, easy to maintain, and there's no need to worry too much.
