What is the ground clearance of the Volkswagen CC?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen CC has an unladen ground clearance of 180mm and a minimum ground clearance of 120mm. Additional details are as follows: 1. Suspension: The Volkswagen CC retains the front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link independent suspension setup, identical to the Tiguan L, with overall tuning biased towards comfort. The suspension has a long travel and good resilience, providing composed rebound over rough roads and maintaining stability on undulating surfaces. 2. Effective roll suppression: During high-speed cornering, the suspension offers adequate support to effectively minimize body roll. The lower control arm of the MacPherson front suspension uses steel stamping technology, which reduces manufacturing costs while maintaining load-bearing performance. 3. Aluminum front suspension bearing housing: Compared to cast iron, this material offers better weight reduction, reducing unsprung mass at the front suspension and improving responsiveness. The front suspension structure and manufacturing process of the Kodiaq are identical to the similarly sized and platform-shared Tiguan L, with high parts commonality between the two models.
I often get asked by friends about the ground clearance of the Volkswagen CC. Actually, the standard value is generally around 140mm, which mainly depends on the design of the suspension system. For example, the front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link structures can affect the ground clearance. Measuring the ground clearance should be done from the ground to the lowest point under the car, such as the exhaust pipe or subframe, as this affects daily driving smoothness. If it's too high, it can impact the vehicle's handling stability; if it's too low, it's prone to scraping on rough roads, especially when fully loaded with passengers or heavy items in the trunk. I've noticed that many new car owners overlook regular checks. I recommend checking tire pressure every six months to ensure the suspension isn't loose and to avoid undercarriage damage.
