What is the ground clearance of the GLC?
1 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the GLC is 180 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the GLC refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance improves the GLC's off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The predecessor of the GLC was the GLK, which was later replaced by the GLC as Mercedes-Benz restructured its model lineup, sharing engines with the C-Class. The dimensions of the GLC are 4764 millimeters in length, 1898 millimeters in width, and 1642 millimeters in height, with a wheelbase of 2973 millimeters. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 millimeters and 150 millimeters, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 millimeters and 250 millimeters. However, the GLC's ground clearance is not static; it depends on the load condition, so changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the GLC's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice depends on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving with well-maintained roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For frequent travel to remote areas or driving on rough terrain, a higher ground clearance may be preferable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage.
