What is the ground clearance of the CR-V?
2 Answers
Under no-load conditions, the ground clearance of the CR-V is 198mm for the two-wheel-drive version and 208mm for the four-wheel-drive version. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid parts of the vehicle's underside. Ground clearance is categorized into no-load and full-load conditions, with the full-load ground clearance also known as the minimum ground clearance. The CR-V is a classic urban SUV model produced by Dongfeng Honda. Its body dimensions are 4550mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. The CR-V is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine.
I remember when I bought my new car recently, I paid special attention to the ground clearance of the CRV, which is about 178 millimeters, roughly seven inches. This height is quite convenient for someone like me who drives in the city every day—it doesn’t scrape the chassis when going over curbs or driving on muddy roads, and it feels very stable. The CRV has low fuel consumption, spacious interiors, and the ground clearance is just right—it doesn’t compromise comfort while ensuring practicality. Especially during rainy seasons or flooded roads, it handles them easily without the fear of water ingress like sedans. From daily use, I’ve learned that tire pressure and suspension maintenance are crucial—keeping the ground clearance stable helps avoid many unexpected issues. Now, with regular checks on these components, I feel I made the right choice with an SUV.
