What is the ground clearance of the tenth-generation Accord?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the tenth-generation Accord is 100mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the car's ability to cross obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The tenth-generation Accord is a model under Honda, with body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. In terms of appearance, the tenth-generation Accord adopts the family-style design language with a winged front face design. The small-sized air intake grille and aerodynamic design are full of performance style. The chrome trim of the continuous feather-shaped LED headlights is visually dynamic, and the overall design creates a sporty and sharp front face.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for a while now, with a ground clearance of about 138mm, which is considered medium among sedans. It's particularly smooth in the city, barely bumping over speed bumps, and doesn't easily scrape the undercarriage when encountering curbs. However, when heading to the suburbs and encountering dirt roads or potholes, I have to slow down to avoid potential damage to the front bumper. To measure the height, just find a flat surface and use a tape measure from the lowest point of the chassis to the ground. The salesperson mentioned at the time of purchase that the original design emphasizes aerodynamics and stability—too low affects handling, and too high increases wind resistance. I think the Accord's height strikes a good balance between comfort and safety, making it stress-free for daily commutes. But on wet roads, if the water depth exceeds 10cm, it's better to detour to avoid the risk of engine water intake.
