What is the ground clearance of the Chevrolet Trax?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Chevrolet Trax is 1700mm. Taking the 2021 Chevrolet Trax as an example, it belongs to the small SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4270mm, width 1791mm, height 1618mm, a wheelbase of 2570mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. The 2021 Chevrolet Trax features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125PS, a maximum power of 92kW, and a maximum torque of 180Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Chevrolet Trax has a ground clearance of approximately 170 mm. As someone who frequently drives this car, I find this height quite balanced. It's slightly higher than a sedan, making it less prone to scraping the undercarriage on rough roads, yet it doesn't feel overly shaky during high-speed cornering. The 170 mm ground clearance is measured under unloaded conditions; when fully loaded with passengers or luggage, it may slightly decrease, but this doesn't significantly impact overall drivability. Among small SUVs, this height is quite mainstream, striking a good balance between daily commuting comfort and occasional off-road practicality. The measurement is taken from the ground to the lowest point under the car, such as the engine guard, which provides better protection for components when driving on gravel roads or through puddles. Personally, I think the Trax's chassis setup is smart—it doesn't sacrifice handling by being too aggressive.
