What is the ground clearance of the new generation Magotan?
3 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the new generation Magotan is 114mm. Below is the relevant introduction about Magotan: 1. In terms of appearance, the design of Magotan is very successful. The front face features a horizontal grille that is concise, capable, and atmospheric, while also exuding a sense of refinement. The front grille is connected to the headlights, extending its horizontal visual tension and making the body appear wider. The side profile of the car is harmonious, well-proportioned, and robust, with an excellent sense of proportion. The rear end is full and sexy, overall very much in line with Volkswagen's aesthetic requirements. 2. In terms of chassis, the suspension structure consists of front MacPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, with a tuning style that is comfortable yet resilient. It handles road bumps very well while also providing solid support, resulting in an overall excellent sense of quality.
The minimum ground clearance of the new-generation Magotan when fully loaded is 114mm, as I recall. This measurement represents the height of the lowest point of the chassis under full load conditions, which is quite important. It's worth noting that Volkswagen's official specifications are based on fully loaded values—the clearance will actually be a few centimeters higher when the car is empty. Compared to its peers, the Camry has about 132mm and the Accord 115mm, so you'll need to take speed bumps slower in the Magotan. It's perfectly adequate for city driving, but if you frequently drive on mountain roads or construction sites, adding an engine underguard for extra peace of mind is advisable. After all, this generation of Volkswagen vehicles is tuned for comfort, with relatively large suspension compression.
I've actually read the manual carefully, and the ground clearance of the new Magotan at full load is 114mm. To be honest, this height is completely fine in the city—you won't scrape on curbs unless they're unusually high. However, if your residential parking garage has a particularly steep ramp or you often encounter rough roads in rural areas, you'll need to be more cautious. Compared to SUVs, it's definitely much lower (the CR-V has 198mm, for example), but it's a normal level for sedans. The most protruding part of the chassis is the engine oil pan, and metal impacts there can be troublesome, so installing a skid plate can be a big help.
