What is the ground clearance of the Trumpchi M8?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Trumpchi GM8 is 150mm. Smaller ground clearance: The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. Regarding the minimum ground clearance, in previous standards, there was a strict requirement for the minimum ground clearance, approximately between 150-160mm, but this requirement has been removed in the current standards. Larger ground clearance: For sedans, the larger the ground clearance (exceeding 130mm), the better the off-road performance, but the worse the high-speed stability; the smaller the ground clearance (below 110mm), the better the high-speed stability, but the worse the off-road performance. If you frequently drive on mountain roads, choose a car with higher ground clearance. If you mainly drive on city roads or highways, a car with lower ground clearance is sufficient.
As a frequent car modifier, I can tell you that the ground clearance of the Trumpchi M8 is generally around 170mm. This value refers to the vertical distance from the lowest point of the car's underbody to the ground, which greatly affects the vehicle's passability. If it's too high, the car may become unstable; if it's too low, it's prone to scraping the underbody. Driving this car in the city feels effortless when going over speed bumps or ramps, thanks to its moderately designed suspension. The M8's independent rear suspension and adjustable chassis height ensure minimal changes in clearance even when fully loaded, making it capable of handling various road conditions. On snowy or dirt roads, its 170mm clearance prevents wheel slippage, ensuring safety. It's recommended to regularly check tire pressure and shock absorbers to avoid reduced clearance leading to underbody scraping. Many people choose this car for its spaciousness and comfort, but don't overlook ground clearance as one of the key parameters—it provides extra confidence on long drives.
