What is the ground clearance of the Camry chassis?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Camry chassis is 155mm. 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. It is used to characterize the car's ability to pass obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The Camry has a length of 4900mm, a width of 1840mm, and a height of 1455mm, with a wheelbase of 2825mm and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Camry is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 210Nm. It is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is an E-type multi-link independent suspension.
As a seasoned Camry driver, I recall the ground clearance is typically around 155mm, which is quite practical—keeping things stable whether you're navigating city streets or cruising on the highway without worrying about scraping the undercarriage. However, specifics can vary by model and year; for instance, the 2023 version might sit slightly lower, prioritizing comfort. My advice? Stay mindful of road conditions—slow down for standing water or potholes to extend component life. Regular checks on tires and suspension are also crucial to maintain consistent clearance and prevent worn shocks from compromising safety. Overall, 155mm strikes a balanced sweet spot—perfect for non-off-road use, offering both peace of mind and cost efficiency.
