What is the ground clearance of the CT5 chassis?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Cadillac CT5 chassis is 190mm. Here are the relevant details: 1. CT5 Interior: The CT5 interior features a stronger sense of layering and richer details. The introduction of dual-tone colors and genuine carbon fiber, along with extensive leather wrapping, provides ample luxury. The front suspension adopts a double-ball-joint MacPherson structure, combining the lightweight and quick response of the MacPherson design with the steering feel of a double-wishbone setup. 2. CT5 Engine: The CT5's engine is positioned entirely behind the front axle, making it a standard front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. This design enhances the vehicle's front-to-rear weight distribution, reducing the load on the front end. Additionally, the spring coils are fewer in number. Generally, springs with more coils offer better filtration of minor vibrations but may result in more residual vibrations and oscillations. In contrast, springs with fewer coils have higher spring rates, providing stronger support performance.
I've been driving the CT5 for a while, and its ground clearance is generally between 120-150mm, which is very convenient for city driving. You don't have to worry about scraping the bottom when going over speed bumps or rough roads. A few days ago, a friend asked me if this height affects high-speed stability. The CT5's chassis is designed quite moderately—it doesn't feel too floaty when cornering, and it remains stable when entering or exiting highway ramps. Even when occasionally carrying large items, the height doesn't drop too much, but it might lower slightly after tire wear or suspension aging. I recommend regularly checking the suspension and not waiting until there are strange noises to get it fixed. When driving out for road trips, it can easily handle small slopes in mountainous areas. Overall, it feels practical and safe.
