The ground clearance of the Excelle when unloaded is approximately 138MM. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones or stumps without collision. Below is an introduction regarding large ground clearance: Large ground clearance: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. Small ground clearance: The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

The ground clearance of the Excelle is typically around 130mm, which I find quite suitable after driving it for several years. Driving on city streets, going over speed bumps or small slopes isn't a problem, and the chassis doesn't scrape easily. However, in rainy weather or on muddy dirt roads, it's best to drive slower to avoid damaging the body. My Excelle is the 2020 model, and the manual stated an average clearance of 130mm at the time of purchase, but this can vary by about 10mm depending on the year, especially if additional accessories are installed. Checking the suspension and tire pressure during maintenance can also help maintain the height. In short, this sedan is designed for fuel efficiency and ease of driving, so there's no need to worry too much about the height issue.

I reckon the ground clearance of the Excelle is around 130mm, which makes for a pretty smooth ride. Whether on highways or city streets, this height is just right to avoid too much bumpiness, especially when going over potholes. I'm in the habit of checking the car's spec sheet and noticed it's a bit lower than SUVs but higher than some sports cars, striking a nice balance. Factors that might affect the height include tire wear or load weight—packing too much cargo can cause the chassis to sag. I'd suggest measuring it yourself: find level ground and use a ruler to measure from the lowest point under the front bumper. Regular suspension maintenance helps maintain the standard height and prolongs the car's lifespan.

The Buick Excelle's minimum ground clearance is approximately 130mm. I've never encountered any issues driving this car under normal road conditions. This height is reasonably designed, sufficient for urban driving, but avoid excessively steep slopes on mountain roads. To understand your vehicle's actual clearance, refer to the owner's manual or check online for differences between new and old models. Changing tire sizes may slightly affect it, but don't make arbitrary modifications to avoid losing control. Simple measurements can prevent accidents and ensure stable driving.

After driving the Excelle for so long, I know its ground clearance is generally about 130mm. This is quite safe on regular roads, and it's not easy for water to enter the chassis during rainy days. If you often drive on rough roads, pay attention to the suspension system to prevent aging, otherwise the clearance may decrease. Compared to similar models, it's more neutral, designed to balance handling and passability. During inspections, measure it yourself from the lowest point under the car to the ground to ensure the data is close to the official specifications. This is related to safe driving, especially when turning or going uphill.

Why Can't the Car Key Lock the Vehicle?

The reasons why the car key cannot lock the vehicle: it may be due to the remote key's battery being dead, in which case the battery needs to be replaced; it could be caused by electromagnetic interference in the parking area, and at this time, the mechanical key can be used to start the vehicle; or it might be due to a malfunction in the vehicle's central locking system. Car keys have a vehicle locating function: The vehicle locating function uses the remote or alarm system. Pressing the button will cause the car's horn to sound and the hazard lights to flash, making it easier to quickly locate your vehicle in crowded parking areas. Car keys can open the trunk: The remote car key has a button to open the trunk.

What to Do When the Windshield Fogs Up Before Turning on the AC?

In cases where the fog is not too heavy, you can appropriately open both side windows to allow air convection, which helps eliminate the temperature difference on both sides of the windshield, making it difficult for fog to form naturally. Blowing cold air is a quick but temporary solution, while blowing hot air can fundamentally solve the problem of windshield fogging. The principle of defogging agents is simple: spraying a layer on the windshield forms an effective protective film, preventing the condensation of water vapor.

Is the Insurance Premium for Used Cars the Same as for New Cars?

Auto insurance is divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial auto insurance. The premium for compulsory traffic insurance is the same for used cars and new cars, while the premium for commercial auto insurance is calculated by the insurance company. Since the value of used cars and new cars differs, the types of coverage and insurance amounts chosen by the owner when purchasing insurance will vary. Additionally, if a used car has had previous claims or no claims in past years, it will affect the premium. Introduction to Compulsory Traffic Insurance: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles." It is a mandatory liability insurance provided by insurance companies to compensate for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses caused to victims (excluding passengers and the insured) in road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Necessity of Purchasing Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance ensures that victims of motor vehicle traffic accidents receive compensation and promotes road traffic safety. It provides timely and basic protection for victims of traffic accidents.
