What is the ground clearance of the Jade?
4 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Jade is 185 mm when fully loaded, and 195 mm when not fully loaded. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. The Jade is a compact car under Honda, with dimensions of 4667 mm in length, 1775 mm in width, and 1530 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2760 mm. In terms of power, the Jade is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 104 kW and a maximum torque of 174 Nm, while the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 203 Nm.
The ground clearance of the Volkswagen Jetta is generally around 140mm. As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with it—it's not just about the numbers, but also affects the overall driving experience. When driving in the city, this height ensures stable steering and reduces the risk of scraping the undercarriage when going over speed bumps or curbs, making it ideal for daily commuting. I remember test-driving a new Jetta last year on a rural road with some small potholes—the 140mm clearance allowed for a smooth ride. However, it's not designed for off-roading. If you frequently drive on rough roads, it's best to regularly check tire pressure and suspension condition, as low pressure can reduce the actual clearance. Overall, this height strikes a good balance between handling and practicality.
From my practical maintenance experience, the Volkswagen Jetta has a standard ground clearance of approximately 140mm. This height is crucial for chassis protection—preventing impact from debris on bumpy roads and extending the chassis lifespan. I recommend owners pay attention to load effects; if the trunk is fully loaded, the clearance may decrease, increasing the risk of scraping. During regular maintenance, it's best to check the suspension and tire wear, as these are factors that can easily affect clearance. 140mm is within the safe range, especially sufficient for urban driving.
I've been driving a Jetta for a while, with the ground clearance marked at around 140mm in the manual. It works great for daily commutes, not too bumpy over speed bumps in the neighborhood, and handles parking on slopes just fine. During rainy days with deeper puddles, the 140mm clearance keeps me from worrying about water ingress being too quick. Although I have to slow down when driving on mountain roads frequently, this height is well-suited for a family sedan.
