What is the ground clearance of the MG GS?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the MG GS is 190mm. Minimum ground clearance: 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 rocks and tree stumps without collision. Advantages and disadvantages of ground clearance: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, 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 terrain, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
I've been driving the MG GS for almost three years, and the ground clearance of this car is indeed quite high. Official data shows an unladen ground clearance of around 185mm, and I rarely scrape the chassis when going over speed bumps. Last week, I drove on muddy rural roads with a full load, and I estimate there was still about 160mm of clearance, which is significantly better than my neighbor's sedan. The advantage of high ground clearance is obvious—it easily handles waterlogged roads during rainy days and makes parking on curbs more convenient. However, I must remind everyone that upgrading to larger wheels will reduce ground clearance. The factory 18-inch wheels offer the perfect balance. If you want good off-road capability, don't lower the suspension, or you might scrape the oil pan on rough roads.
