What is the ground clearance of the Senova X35?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Senova X35 is 170mm. The minimum ground clearance of a vehicle refers to the height of the chassis. Specifically, it indicates the minimum distance between the vehicle's underside and the level ground when the car is at its maximum load capacity. The minimum ground clearance directly affects the vehicle's off-road capability. 1. Generally speaking, the minimum ground clearance of family sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm. For sedans, if the chassis height exceeds 130mm, they can more easily navigate various complex road surfaces. However, when driving on highways, the stability may be compromised. 2. The smaller the ground clearance (below 110mm), the easier it is to control the car at high speeds, but it may struggle with very complex road surfaces. Nowadays, models equipped with air suspension can automatically adjust the ground clearance, effectively solving the dilemma of having to choose between high-speed stability and off-road capability.
The unladen minimum ground clearance of the Senova X35 is around 200mm, which I've verified against official specifications. I remember once driving a friend's X35 on rural dirt roads - even when fully loaded, the chassis didn't scrape against protruding rocks, demonstrating significantly better off-road capability than sedans. It handles urban speed bumps with ease, though it's worth noting that tire pressure changes can slightly affect the actual clearance height. For frequent rough road driving, installing an engine guard is recommended for added protection, as the oil pan position is actually the vehicle's lowest point.
