What is the ground clearance of the Baojun 510 in centimeters?
2 Answers
Under full load, the minimum ground clearance of the Baojun 510 is 160mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the car is fully loaded and stationary, which is used to evaluate the car's ability to pass obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. The heavier the body, the better the high-speed driving stability. Factors affecting the stability of a car at high speed include: 1. Vehicle tires: Tires are the only components in contact with the ground. Generally, wider and flatter tires improve the stability of the vehicle at high speeds. 2. Vehicle shape: The shape of the vehicle also affects its high-speed stability. Vehicles that are more aerodynamically designed tend to be more stable at high speeds. 3. Drive configuration: Most vehicle drive configurations include front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive vehicles are more stable than front or rear-wheel drive vehicles. 4. Suspension system: Generally, vehicles with independent suspension systems are more stable than those with non-independent suspension systems. Independent suspensions include MacPherson strut independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension.
I used to drive a Baojun 510, and this SUV has a minimum ground clearance of about 17 cm. As someone who enjoys daily city driving, I found this height quite practical—I rarely worried about scraping the undercarriage when going over curbs or speed bumps in urban areas. I remember one time when I went on a suburban outing, the road was a bit rough and uneven, but the car passed through easily without any issues. Ground clearance affects a vehicle's off-road capability; simply put, it's the lowest point of the car's underbody from the ground. Around 17 cm is fairly standard for a compact SUV—higher than a sedan but don't expect it to tackle rugged terrain like a hardcore off-roader. I'd advise new car owners to understand this and avoid parking by forcing the car onto overly high curbs to prevent damage. Regularly checking tire pressure can also help maintain stable ground clearance. Overall, this design is well-suited for daily commutes and light outdoor use.
