What is the ground clearance of the Buick GL6?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the GL6 is 14.5cm. The following is relevant information about the chassis: Function of the chassis: The chassis serves to support and install the engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall structure, receiving the engine's power to enable vehicle movement and ensure normal driving. Composition of the chassis: The chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. Performance of the chassis: The chassis has a somewhat heavy feel, performing solidly at high speeds. It excels at handling undulating road surfaces, with all four wheels maintaining firm contact with the ground. However, when driving over potholes and speed bumps at higher speeds, the suspension can still feel somewhat stiff.
As someone who frequently helps with car repairs, I've measured the unladen ground clearance of the Buick GL6 several times, typically around 14 to 15 cm. This height is quite reasonable for a family MPV - it won't scrape the front lip when going up/down parking garage ramps in the city, and provides more confidence than sedans on rough roads. Note that the suspension will compress 2-3 cm when loaded with passengers/cargo, so be extra cautious on mountain roads. The side step height is actually less than 30 cm, making it convenient for elderly and children to board. Reminder: The lowest point is the engine underguard - avoid parking over high curbs. During maintenance, have technicians check the underguard fastening bolts. The GL6's underbody pipeline layout is actually quite tidy.
