What is the ground clearance of the domestic Sienna?

The length is 5095mm, the width is 1985mm, the height is 1790mm, the wheelbase reaches 3030mm, and the minimum ground clearance is 164MM. Definition of minimum ground clearance: Chassis height (i.e., minimum ground clearance) is defined as the distance between the most protruding part of the chassis and the level ground when the vehicle is fully loaded. Impact of chassis height: Minimum ground clearance reflects a car's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. Generally speaking, the minimum ground clearance of family cars ranges between 110 millimeters and 150 millimeters. The smaller the chassis height (generally referring to less than 11 centimeters), the better the high-speed stability, but the worse the passability.
Recently, I've been driving a domestic Sienna with a ground clearance of around 165mm, which is quite suitable for city driving—no worries about speed bumps or curbs. For family use, I think it doesn't need to be too high; excessive height can make the car sway noticeably in crosswinds. On the other hand, if it's too low, it might scrape the bottom on rough roads. Remember, the measurement is the vertical height from the lowest point under the car to the ground. It handles highways steadily, but off-roading is still a bit risky. I recommend regularly checking tire wear, as tire pressure can also affect the actual clearance. Overall, 165mm strikes a good balance between safety and comfort.
