What is the ground clearance of the Camry in centimeters?
2 Answers
The ground clearance ranges between 155 to 159 centimeters. Currently, the minimum ground clearance of vehicles sold in China is controlled between 100-200mm. The higher the ground clearance, the greater the distance from the ground, which reduces stability and increases the risk of rollover. Many vehicles are designed with lower ground clearance to enhance stability, especially on well-maintained roads where a lower clearance does not pose issues. However, if the car is driven on complex road conditions, an excessively low ground clearance can easily lead to scraping, commonly referred to as 'bottoming out,' which can cause significant damage to the chassis. From a consumer's perspective, if the vehicle is expected to meet both urban driving needs and self-driving tour requirements, it is advisable to choose an SUV model with better off-road capability and higher ground clearance. For city-only use, a sedan with lower ground clearance would be more suitable.
I remember when driving a Camry, the ground clearance was around 14 cm, equivalent to about one and a half palm thickness. This design is quite friendly for city roads; driving on flat highways is almost bump-free with high comfort. However, you need to be careful when going over speed bumps or potholes—don't drive too fast, or you might scrape the undercarriage. I once drove on a rural path and felt it was slightly low, affecting the passability a bit. As a sedan, the Camry's suspension is tuned to be softer, making the ride very comfortable, and my family finds it easy to get in and out. If you frequently drive on uneven roads, I recommend adding an undercarriage guard for protection. Don't worry—the overall design of this car is well-balanced, perfectly suitable for daily use, and it also saves some fuel.
