What is the ground clearance of the CHR?
1 Answers
Toyota CHR's official ground clearance is 145mm, while actual measurements by car owners show 170mm. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Minimum ground clearance: Toyota CHR owners' actual measurements indicate a ground clearance of 135mm. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid parts underneath the vehicle. The ground clearance of a vehicle varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded. Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load; the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Vehicles with low ground clearance have a lower center of gravity but poorer passability. 2. Example: Take Formula 1 racing cars, which not only have very low ground clearance but also a low center of gravity, allowing them to race at high speeds on formula tracks. However, their passability is extremely poor, making them nearly immobile on gravel or dirt roads. Vehicles with high ground clearance have better passability and are easier to park. High ground clearance not only improves passability on sandy or rocky mountain roads but also prevents water from entering the exhaust pipe when driving through flooded roads. It also makes it easier to park on curbs or parking spaces with height differences. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the better the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the higher the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
