What is the ground clearance of the Yaris X?
2 Answers
Toyota Yaris X has a ground clearance of 170mm when unloaded and 124mm when fully loaded. Here are the relevant details: 1. Introduction to the Yaris X: It is a model under GAC Toyota, officially launched on October 21, 2019, with a total of 3 variants available. 2. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.5L NR series engine, paired with an S-CVT super intelligent continuously variable transmission, achieving a combined fuel consumption of approximately 5.2L per 100km. 3. Exterior design: Features standard LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, and LED combination taillights across the entire lineup. The exterior also adopts a brand-new design, including a unique sporty rear spoiler, a newly designed large-mouth grille, and a sporty body kit, creating an SUV-like styling.
I've been driving the Yaris X for three to four years, and based on my actual measurements, the ground clearance is approximately 160mm. This height is quite suitable for urban roads—it doesn't bounce much over speed bumps or rough surfaces, and there's no risk of scraping the undercarriage. On rural roads, the 160mm clearance can handle small dirt slopes and ditches, but encountering large rocks requires slowing down to avoid scratches. Many car buyers overlook this aspect, but it significantly impacts both drivability and comfort—too low risks damage, while too high compromises stability and fuel efficiency. For maintenance, I recommend checking tire pressure monthly, as underinflation can indirectly reduce ground clearance. Additionally, promptly address any rust on the underbody protection panels to prolong their lifespan. Overall, the Yaris X strikes a balanced design for daily practicality, making long drives comfortable as well.
