What is the ground clearance of the Mazda CX-5?
2 Answers
Mazda CX-5 ground clearance is 210mm. Introduction to ground clearance: 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 characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. Impact of ground clearance: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
I checked the data and found that the ground clearance of the Mazda CX-5 is around 215mm. This figure refers to the minimum height from the lowest point of the vehicle to the ground, measured with the fuel tank half full. Drivers who have experienced rough roads should understand the importance of this parameter—215mm is considered above average among SUVs, capable of handling most rural dirt roads. However, don’t compare it to hardcore off-roaders, as the CX-5 is designed for urban handling. Last time I drove a friend’s car over a gravel road, the chassis didn’t scrape at all, and the front approach angle is cleverly designed to avoid bottoming out on slopes.
