What is the ground clearance of the Jetta VS5?
2 Answers
The official data shows that the minimum ground clearance of the Jetta VS5 is 155mm. For an SUV, this minimum ground clearance is relatively low. The ground clearance of a car is not fixed and depends on the load condition. Here is an introduction to the configuration of the Jetta VS5: 1. Safety features: Front passenger airbags, tire pressure monitoring, seat belt reminder, ABS anti-lock braking system, brake force distribution, brake assist, traction control, and electronic stability program. 2. Assist features: Rear parking sensors, cruise control, engine start-stop, hill start assist, roof rails, engine immobilizer, central locking, one-touch power windows, and anti-pinch window function.
I've been driving the Jetta VS5 for several years, and its ground clearance of 166 mm has been particularly useful in real-world driving. Last time I took it on an outing, when passing through some potholes or gravel roads, nothing touched the underside of the car, and it went smoothly. This height provides enough clearance between the body and the ground, allowing it to handle light off-road conditions while maintaining stability on city roads, and it's less prone to roll when cornering. Compared to some smaller sedans, it's significantly higher, reducing vibrations when going up or down slopes or over speed bumps, making the ride more comfortable. During maintenance, the technician mentioned that this design takes into account China's complex road conditions to avoid undercarriage damage to chassis components. Overall, I recommend paying attention to ground clearance when buying a car, especially if you often drive on unpaved roads.
