What is the ground clearance of the CR-V?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the CR-V is 185 millimeters. The CR-V is a compact SUV under the Honda brand. This vehicle is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. In terms of body dimensions, the CR-V measures 4550mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2620mm. Exterior-wise, the CR-V features a stylish and dynamic design with smooth and rounded lines that maintain a sporty appeal. For the interior, the CR-V adopts Honda's family-style design, with a clean and warm two-tone interior. The three-spoke steering wheel offers a good grip, and the configuration is practical, with improved material quality and craftsmanship.
The ground clearance of the CR-V, also known as the minimum ground clearance, is typically around 137 mm, but this can vary depending on the specific year and model. I've driven several generations of the CR-V, and the change from the older models' 190 mm to the newer models' 137 mm is quite significant. Honda reduced the height to improve fuel efficiency and handling, making it more suitable for city driving, where speed bumps and potholes are easily manageable. However, if you frequently drive on muddy or snowy roads, you might find it lacking in off-road capability. For trips to Tibet or mountainous areas, it's advisable to install underbody protection. Compared to the Toyota RAV4's 155 mm, the CR-V appears lower, but this trade-off comes with the advantage of better fuel economy. Every time I change cars, I measure the height myself—remember to use a ruler on a flat surface to avoid errors affecting your judgment. Overall, it's a practical design that balances comfort and utility.
