What is the ground clearance of the Trumpchi GS3?
3 Answers
The ground clearance of the Trumpchi GS3 is 183 millimeters. The chassis of a car mainly consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The chassis of a car bears relatively high pressure, as it can withstand the power generated by the engine during operation while ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle. The Trumpchi GS3 features an all-black interior layout, complemented by a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a large-sized central control screen similar to the Trumpchi GA3 View, and other design elements. The dashboard adopts a T-shaped design and is wrapped in large areas of soft materials. The GS3 is equipped with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a rectangular instrument panel, a large-sized display screen, and a one-touch start button on the right side of the steering wheel.
I previously checked the ground clearance of the Trumpchi GS3, which is around 180mm. This height is quite mainstream among small SUVs. When I drive around the city, I rarely scrape the chassis when encountering road construction or curbs. It also handles bumpy dirt roads in my rural hometown with ease, as long as I don’t deliberately drive over large rocks. I remember one time after a heavy rain, the road was deeply flooded, and the sedans ahead hesitated to cross, but my GS3 drove through steadily without any issues. The ground clearance can also be affected by tires and load—when fully loaded or with wider aftermarket tires, the actual height may decrease slightly, but in stock condition, it’s perfectly sufficient for daily use.
180mm – this is the ground clearance figure for the GAC GS3. As an owner who frequently drives in urban-rural fringe areas, I find this height particularly practical. Last month when I drove to a friend’s new home, there was a dirt mound piled up due to road construction at the community entrance – sedans had to detour, but I drove straight over without any undercarriage scraping. When encountering rain-damaged road surfaces on mountain routes, this ground clearance prevents oil pan impacts. Of course, if you install larger wheels or lower the suspension, that’s another story. Compared to off-road vehicles with 200mm+ clearance, the GS3’s passability is slightly weaker, but extreme road conditions are rare in urban commuting, and its lower center of gravity actually improves cornering stability.
