What is the ground clearance of the Vios FS and Yaris L?
2 Answers
The ground clearances of the Vios FS and Yaris L are as follows: 1. The Toyota Yaris L has a ground clearance of 170mm when unloaded and 124mm when fully loaded. The manual states a minimum ground clearance of 136mm, which typically decreases by 10mm~20mm when fully loaded. 2. The Vios FS has a ground clearance of around 160mm and features a suspension combination of front MacPherson struts and rear torsion beams. Additional information: 1. The Vios is an entry-level family car specifically designed and developed by Toyota for the Asian market. Based on the NBC platform, with an extended wheelbase, the Vios developed on a compact car platform almost reaches the level of a compact sedan. 2. The overall layout of the Toyota Yaris L's chassis is relatively neat, with most exposed body parts not treated with coating, and the chassis is not equipped with plastic resin protective panels. The overall workmanship is considered average. It adopts a suspension combination of front MacPherson struts with anti-roll bars and rear torsion beams with lateral temperature bars.
The ground clearance of the Vios FS is approximately 155 mm, while the Yaris is around 150 mm. This is the standard data I found in Toyota's official documentation. Ground clearance refers to the distance from the lowest point of the chassis to the ground, which directly affects the vehicle's off-road capability. It doesn’t make much difference when driving in the city, but on bumpy roads or rural surfaces, the extra 5 mm of the FS can help reduce chassis scrapes and protect critical components like the exhaust pipe. Regularly checking tire pressure and the suspension system helps maintain this clearance. When you buy a new car, be sure to check the manual for the exact specifications to avoid misjudgment. During routine maintenance, technicians often mention that the height affects comfort when going over speed bumps—the FS handles it more smoothly.
