What is the ground clearance of the Lynk & Co 01?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance (unladen) of the Lynk & Co 01 is 211mm, and the ground clearance when fully loaded is 170mm. Introduction to ground clearance: Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid parts at the bottom of the vehicle. The ground clearance of a vehicle varies depending on whether it is unladen or loaded. Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load; the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Vehicles with lower ground clearance have a lower center of gravity but poorer off-road capability. Impact of minimum ground clearance: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the better the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the higher center of gravity reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the lower center of gravity increases stability.
Speaking of the Lynk & Co 01's ground clearance, it boasts a minimum of 213mm. Having driven it for a while, I find this height incredibly practical for daily driving. For instance, when navigating city streets, uneven sidewalks or occasional potholes are no issue—it glides over effortlessly without any worry of scraping the undercarriage. It’s equally stable on suburban backroads or construction sites. The elevated view is great, though parking requires slight extra attention to the height, but you quickly adapt. This clearance is designed with family trips and light off-roading in mind, making rides comfortable whether it’s school runs or weekend getaways. Sure, the higher chassis increases wind resistance slightly, impacting fuel efficiency, but it stays within reasonable limits—a minor trade-off I don’t mind even on long drives. If you frequently tackle rough terrain, adding underbody armor is a smart precaution. Overall, 213mm strikes a golden balance between practicality and driving experience.
