What is the ground clearance of the Avancier?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Avancier is 203mm when unloaded, and the minimum ground clearance reduces to 190mm when fully loaded. Below is relevant information about the Avancier's ground clearance: 1. The role of minimum ground clearance: Minimum ground clearance reflects a vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles or rough surfaces but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or uneven ground but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability. 2. The value of minimum ground clearance: The value of minimum ground clearance is subject to certain limitations, related to the vehicle's function and aerodynamics. For example, sports cars typically have a smaller minimum ground clearance, while SUVs have a larger one.
I've been driving the Avancier for almost two years, and its 188mm ground clearance is super convenient for city driving. It never scrapes the bottom when going over potholes or speed bumps, and parking is easier too. Compared to my old sedan, it sits a bit higher, which gives me more confidence when exiting the garage ramp in my neighborhood, and the wider field of view is a plus. I don't have to worry about water ingress during rainy days either—last time during a heavy downpour, it easily passed through half-tire-deep water without the engine getting wet. The downside is the higher center of gravity; it tends to sway if I take turns too fast, so I have to drive more steadily. I'd recommend regular maintenance of the undercarriage to prevent rust and dust buildup. Overall, the height is quite practical, making it suitable for commuting and short trips.
