What is the ground clearance of the Elysion?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Elysion is 135mm, which is considered medium height among sedans. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Elysion: The Elysion uses a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. The minimum ground clearance, also referred to as chassis height, defines the shortest distance between the car's chassis and the ground when the vehicle is fully loaded. The ground clearance data indicates the vehicle's ability to navigate complex terrain. In previous standards, ground clearance was regulated, typically between 150mm and 160mm, but this standard has now been abolished. 2. Family Sedans: The ground clearance (minimum ground clearance) of family sedans usually ranges from 11cm to 15cm. From the perspective of sedan characteristics, the greater the ground clearance (exceeding 130mm), the better the vehicle's off-road capability, but stability on highways is compromised. Conversely, if the ground clearance is below 11cm, high-speed stability improves, but off-road capability suffers. Currently, there is a type of suspension called air suspension, which allows the ground clearance to be adjusted on the go, resolving the dilemma of choosing between stability and off-road capability.
I remember the Honda Elysion has a ground clearance of around 160mm, which makes it quite comfortable for city driving. It doesn't feel too bumpy when going over speed bumps or small potholes, and there's no issue with parking or entering/exiting garages. However, on suburban dirt roads, you need to drive slower as the chassis might scrape, and due to its higher center of gravity, it's important to control the speed when turning. The spacious design, combined with the ground clearance and suspension system, ensures a comfortable ride for the family without motion sickness, making it especially suitable for daily commuting. But it's best to avoid deep water to prevent any trouble with wading.
