What is the ground clearance of the Haval F5?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Haval F5 is 150mm. Ground clearance, also known as 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 indicate the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The Haval F5 is positioned as an entry-level compact SUV, equipped with the Haval Interconnect 3.0 system, which includes remote vehicle control, online services, intelligent services, and an intelligent voice interaction system. The remote vehicle control features include remote unlocking and locking, remote engine start and stop, and remote air conditioning control. Online functions include Gaode navigation, QQ Music, and Koala FM. Intelligent services include exclusive personal assistant and road rescue services.
The Haval F5 has a minimum ground clearance of 170mm, which is considered moderately high among SUVs, providing strong off-road capability. It easily handles speed bumps on city roads or uneven surfaces in residential areas without worrying about scraping the undercarriage. Long-distance travel is more comfortable with a higher chassis offering better visibility, especially when parking. However, the increased height may slightly raise wind resistance and fuel consumption, but SUVs aren’t designed for fuel efficiency—we buy them for practicality. I’ve seen some car enthusiasts modify their suspension to increase height, but the factory 170mm setup is sufficient for most road conditions. Regularly checking tire pressure and the suspension system, while avoiding overloading to prevent deformation, helps maintain optimal performance.
