What is the ground clearance of the Camry when fully loaded?
2 Answers
When fully loaded, the minimum ground clearance of the Camry's chassis is approximately 145mm. In passenger vehicles, the minimum ground clearance is defined as the height from the lowest point of the chassis to the ground when the vehicle is fully loaded on a level surface. Below is relevant information about the Camry: 1. Exterior Design: The eighth-generation Camry features dual designs for the Luxury and Sport versions, both inspired by Toyota's latest "Keen Look" design language. The Luxury version boasts a large trapezoidal horizontal grille, a streamlined body with a lower waistline, and an extended roofline that enhances rear headroom. The Sport version adopts a three-layer grille front face, introduces a two-tone body and an "all-black" cabin for the first time, and features a dual exhaust design at the rear. Additionally, the Hybrid version, based on the Luxury version, highlights its identity with light blue front and rear lights. 2. Configuration: Standard features across the lineup include Hawk-Eye 3D LED headlights, 10 SRS airbags, an EPB electronic parking system, and an air filter (compatible with PM2.5). It also offers a triple-screen intelligent display system, comprising a 10-inch color HUD head-up display, a 7-inch color TFT multi-information display, and a color touchscreen infotainment display.
I've been driving my Camry for almost five years now, and I always pay extra attention to the ground clearance when the car is fully loaded with luggage for family trips. The official data states a ground clearance of 155 mm when fully loaded, which is about the height of a smartphone standing upright. This measurement is 2-3 cm lower than when the car is unloaded, requiring me to slow down when going over speed bumps, but it's no problem at all on regular city roads. Last week, I drove on a rural dirt road and found that as long as I didn't encounter any big potholes, there was basically no risk of scraping the undercarriage. Insufficient tire inflation can further reduce the ground clearance, so I always check the tire pressure before long trips. Although it's lower than an SUV, this figure is quite good for a sedan, especially since the Camry is designed with comfort in mind.
