What is the ground clearance of the new Lavida?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the new Lavida is approximately 19CM when fully loaded. The minimum ground clearance is defined as: the distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is fully loaded (with the maximum allowable load mass). The minimum ground clearance reflects the car's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. The Lavida is the first A-class car independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of appearance, the Lavida features a sharp waistline design while retaining a side profile similar to that of the Octavia. The rear and taillight designs are highly original, differing from the typical Volkswagen taillight cluster design. The Lavida's taillight cluster emphasizes a harmonious connection with the front fascia.
As a young car owner, I drive the new Lavida myself, and it's quite convenient for commuting in the city. Based on my actual tests and official data, its ground clearance is around 130mm, which is just right for me—I rarely scrape the chassis when going over speed bumps or rough roads. The car's suspension is tuned to be relatively soft, making it comfortable to sit in and reducing fatigue on long drives. However, I should mention that if you frequently drive on gravel or dirt roads, you should be cautious and slow down to avoid bottoming out. For maintenance, I check the chassis every time I wash the car (which is weekly) to ensure no debris is stuck. Keeping the tire pressure within the recommended range also helps maintain stable ground clearance. Overall, this car is designed for urban driving—it's fuel-efficient, stylish, and a reliable choice for young people looking for a daily commuter.
