2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Changan Eado is 160mm. Its body dimensions are: length 4730mm, width 1820mm, height 1505mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The fuel tank capacity is 53 liters, the trunk capacity is 500 liters, and the curb weight is 1300kg. The 2020 Blue Whale Edition Changan Eado features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158PS, maximum power of 116kW, and maximum torque of 260Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The minimum ground clearance of the Changan Eado is approximately 138 to 142 millimeters. I obtained this data from official sources and personal experience, as driving it in the city has been smooth when going over curbs or speed bumps, with no instances of scraping the undercarriage. As an ordinary owner who has driven the Eado for over a year, this height ensures basic passability without increasing wind resistance or affecting fuel consumption. Compared to the higher clearance of SUVs, the Eado is more suitable for daily commuting, especially in congested traffic where it remains stable and safe. However, when driving on rough roads like muddy or potholed surfaces, it's essential to slow down in advance to prevent undercarriage damage. Regularly checking tire pressure and undercarriage protection is crucial to prolonging the lifespan of the chassis.
