What is the ground clearance of the new Santana?
2 Answers
The new Santana adopts a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a compound torsion beam non-independent rear suspension, with a ground clearance of 12 centimeters. New car powertrain: The all-new Santana offers two engine options: 1.4L and 1.6L. The 1.4L engine delivers a maximum output of 90 horsepower (66kW) and a peak torque of 132N.m. The 1.6L engine produces a maximum power of 110 horsepower (81kW) and a peak torque of 155N.m. Transmission: The 1.4L engine is paired exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 1.6L engine offers a choice between a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode.
I used to drive a new Santana, which had a ground clearance of about 130mm. It was very comfortable to drive in the city, and I never had to worry about scraping the chassis when going over speed bumps or small potholes. I mainly drive in urban areas during the week and take my family out on weekends. It handled mountain roads and rural dirt roads just fine. I remember one time driving through a waterlogged area on a rainy day, and the chassis height prevented me from hitting any rocks—safe and worry-free. When choosing a car, everyone should pay attention to the ground clearance. If it's too small, the car can easily get damaged; if it's too large, the handling can become unstable. I recommend regularly checking the chassis for wear or mud buildup to extend its lifespan. With proper care, it can last over a decade without any issues.
