Audi A6 has a ground clearance height of 185mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. Here is a detailed introduction to ground clearance: 1. Large ground clearance: 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. 2. Small ground clearance: 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.

Having driven for decades, I find the Audi A6's ground clearance of around 145mm quite comfortable. This height ensures a smooth ride on city roads without scraping the undercarriage. My old A6 didn't wobble much over potholes, making it ideal for daily commutes. However, on long trips or during rain or snow, this height isn't enough to prevent slipping, so you need to drive slower to avoid hitting anything. The low chassis isn't great for gravel roads either, so I recommend pairing it with good tires for extra cushioning, which makes driving more reassuring.

Driving an A6 is pretty cool, with a ground clearance of about 15 cm, making it easy to climb curbs when parking. I love its chassis design—it doesn’t scrape the ground, and I don’t have to worry when driving over bridge piers on the highway. Compared to the BMW 5 Series, the A6 is slightly taller, which is more than enough for daily commutes. If you modify the wheels, you can add a few more millimeters of clearance to improve off-road capability. I’ve tested it in the garage, and the shock absorption is great, making it stable for long trips.

Safety first. The A6 has a ground clearance between 140 and 150 millimeters, which is a medium height and provides good protection against scraping the undercarriage. On slippery rainy roads, it helps reduce the risk of accidents and avoids collisions with raised objects. I regularly inspect the underside of the car, and the appropriate clearance prevents water accumulation and corrosion. Combined with proper maintenance, it ensures the suspension system functions normally, giving me more confidence while driving.
