What is the ground clearance of the CR-V?
1 Answers
The ground clearance of the Honda CR-V in an unloaded state is 198mm for the two-wheel-drive version and 208mm for the four-wheel-drive version. Below is some extended information about ground clearance: 1. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid objects at the bottom of the vehicle. The ground clearance of a vehicle varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded. Ground clearance is categorized into unloaded and loaded conditions. The ground clearance when loaded is also known as the minimum ground clearance, which is the shortest distance between the lowest protruding part of the vehicle's chassis and the ground when the vehicle is parked horizontally under rated full load conditions. 2. Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load—the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Vehicles with lower ground clearance have a lower center of gravity but poorer off-road capability. Vehicles with higher ground clearance have better off-road capability. Besides performing well on gravel and mountainous roads, higher ground clearance helps prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe when driving through flooded roads and makes it easier to park on curbs or other parking spaces with height differences.
