The ground clearance of the new Lavida is 110mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is parked on a level surface under rated full load. Advantages of larger ground clearance: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass 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 obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability. Limitations of ground clearance: The minimum ground clearance must consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation and the possibility of not scraping when the car is near the edge of a sidewalk. If sales are restricted to a certain country or region, local road conditions must also be considered. At the same time, the value of the minimum ground clearance has certain limitations and is related to the vehicle's function and aerodynamics. For example, sports cars have relatively small minimum ground clearance, while SUVs have relatively large minimum ground clearance.

I've been driving the new Lavida for a while now, and its ground clearance is around 138mm, which is quite suitable for city driving. I often encounter potholes or speed bumps on my commute, and the car's chassis height is just right—not too high or too low—making it easy to handle without scraping. However, I have to be more cautious on muddy rural roads since it's not an SUV. During regular maintenance, I also pay attention to checking tire pressure and suspension conditions to ensure the clearance remains normal, avoiding any impact on stability and fuel consumption. Overall, the 138mm design balances handling and comfort well, making it ideal for practical daily commuters like me who value economy and utility.

I work in auto repair and have reviewed a lot of chassis data for the new Lavida. The ground clearance is about 138mm, which is standard for sedans. Too high would make it unstable and affect cornering, while too low risks scraping and damaging components. I often remind owners to regularly check shock absorbers and springs during maintenance, as aging of these parts can alter clearance and compromise driving safety. Especially during rainy or snowy seasons, the 138mm height prevents water from flooding the chassis and reduces rust risks. Overall, it's a reasonable balance suitable for normal road driving, so there's no need for modifications.

I chose the New Lavida when I first started learning to drive. I remember the manual said the ground clearance was 138mm, which is actually sufficient for city driving. I've driven it on highways and flat roads a few times, and it handled small obstacles smoothly without any major issues. This height really helped me as a beginner—clear visibility when starting and stopping, unlike high-clearance vehicles that can be harder to control. I always keep the windows clean for better road observation, and the 138mm clearance adds to the sense of security. If I change cars in the future, I'd opt for a similar family-oriented design.
