What is the ground clearance of the Audi A4 Avant?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Audi A4 Avant is 130mm. Impact of minimum ground clearance on driving: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. It indicates the car's ability to overcome obstacles (such as stones, etc.). The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. Sedans generally travel on flat urban roads, so they have smaller ground clearance. Off-road vehicles have larger minimum ground clearance to overcome larger obstacles. Minimum ground clearance standards: In previous standards, there were regulations on minimum ground clearance, approximately between 150-160mm, but current standards have abolished this mandatory requirement.
I've been driving an Audi A4 Avant for three years now, and I remember the ground clearance is about 14 cm. This height is particularly suitable for city driving, as it rarely scrapes the chassis when going over speed bumps and can easily handle ordinary curbs. However, when encountering large potholes in construction zones, I still prefer to get out and check the situation before proceeding. Once, when visiting relatives in the countryside, I encountered a muddy road after rain, and this clearance was a bit challenging. Fortunately, I was driving slowly and didn't bottom out. If you frequently drive on rough roads, I recommend opting for the air suspension, which can raise the car to about 16 cm at its highest setting, significantly improving off-road capability. Additionally, in real-world usage, when the rear seats are fully occupied or the trunk is loaded with luggage, the body can sag another 2-3 cm, which is also something to keep in mind.
