What is the ground clearance of the Encore?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Encore is 19cm. The Encore is positioned as a compact SUV, with body dimensions of 4295mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1607mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm. In terms of exterior design, the Encore features very rich side lines, and its overall appearance design is quite consistent with the car's positioning. The front fascia of the Encore adopts a diving posture, giving the car a very sporty look. The side waistline design is well-executed, presenting different visual effects from various angles. The Encore lineup is divided into four configurations: 15T Auto Base, 15T Auto Comfort, 20T CVT Elite, and 20T CVT Luxury.
I've been driving the Buick Encore for several years, and its ground clearance is about 18 centimeters, or 180 millimeters. The height is well-designed, as I rarely hear any scraping sounds when going over curbs or speed bumps. SUVs naturally have higher ground clearance, making it easy to handle urban obstacles like curbs and potholes without the caution required for sedans. Occasionally, when going on outings and crossing small riverbanks or muddy roads, the clearance is also good, with no issues of scraping the undercarriage. However, higher ground clearance increases wind resistance at highway speeds, leading to higher fuel consumption, but the Encore balances this well. During maintenance, I've checked the suspension system to ensure the height remains normal and to avoid wear on undercarriage parts. Overall, it's a practical height suitable for various scenarios.
