What is the ground clearance of the Baojun 510?
3 Answers
Baojun 510 has a ground clearance of 200mm. 1. Structure: The front suspension of the Baojun 510 adopts the common MacPherson strut design. Whether in terms of structure, layout, or materials used, the front suspension of the Baojun 510 does not differ significantly from vehicles in the same price range. The front subframe also follows the traditional "wishbone" design. Although "C"-shaped and "box"-shaped subframes offer superior structural advantages, they also come with relatively higher costs. 2. Design details: The Baojun 510 features a deflector plate below the front wheel arches, primarily aimed at reducing tire turbulence to lower noise levels. The underside of the chassis is covered with two large plastic panels, which mainly serve to minimize turbulence under the chassis, contributing to noise reduction and improving vehicle stability. Additionally, these panels provide a certain degree of protection for the chassis.
I've been driving the Baojun 510 for two years, and I've always been concerned about its ground clearance. I remember the salesperson told me it was about 175mm when I bought the car, which is moderate for an SUV. There's no pressure driving over speed bumps in the city, and I don't have to worry about scraping the bottom on rural dirt roads—it's quite practical. Ground clearance directly affects off-road capability, helping to avoid damage from potholes. I often take it on outings to the countryside, and crossing small streams is no trouble. I recommend regularly checking the suspension and tires because changes in tire pressure can affect the actual height. Overall, the high ground clearance gives me a strong sense of security.
As someone familiar with cars, the Baojun 510's ground clearance is designed between 170 to 180 millimeters. This value ensures handling stability on regular road conditions and reduces the risk of underbody scraping. During daily driving, I've noticed it allows wheels to easily cross ditches, with a wading depth of approximately 350 millimeters, which is helpful for rainy-day driving. Both excessively high or low ground clearance would affect fuel consumption and comfort—this range is just right. During maintenance, remember that tire wear may increase the likelihood of reduced ground clearance; maintaining factory settings is sufficient.
