What is the ground clearance of the Excelle?
2 Answers
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.
