The ground clearance of the Volvo S60 is 138mm. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Ground clearance: Ground clearance is also the minimum ground clearance, which varies among different car models. 2. Off-road vehicles: Generally, off-road vehicles have a larger minimum ground clearance, while sedans have a smaller one. Below is additional information on the topic: 1. Minimum ground clearance of a car: The minimum ground clearance of a car refers to the smallest height between the car's chassis and the ground when the car is at maximum load. 2. Car chassis: The car chassis refers to the bottom part of the entire vehicle, which supports the whole vehicle. When driving, owners should pay attention to the height of the road surface to ensure their vehicle can pass. If it cannot pass, they should choose another route and must not force their way through, as this could damage the car's chassis.
The Volvo S60 I just drove has a ground clearance of around 140 mm, depending on the year and configuration. Mine is the standard version. It handles speed bumps smoothly in the city, without the jolting you'd get in a high-clearance SUV, but you need to be careful on rough roads to avoid scraping the undercarriage. Tire size and suspension settings can also affect the height—for example, larger tires might reduce clearance by a few millimeters. If you often drive on suburban dirt roads, it's advisable to check the underbody protection panels. Regular maintenance can prevent unexpected damage, after all, your car is your daily companion.
