What is the height of an SUV?
2 Answers
SUV heights range from 1600mm to 2400mm, varying according to vehicle class as follows: compact SUVs are approximately 1600mm tall, while compact/midsize SUVs measure around 1700mm. Full-size SUVs stand at about 1800mm, with large SUVs exceeding 1800mm. Representative SUV models include: Prado, Haval M6, BMW X5, Highlander, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and Audi Q7. Taking the Audi Q7 as an example - this full-size SUV measures 5067mm long, 1970mm wide, and 1731mm tall, with a 2996mm wheelbase, 85L fuel tank capacity, and 2115kg curb weight.
When it comes to the height of SUVs, based on my years of driving experience, they typically range between 1.65 meters and 1.85 meters, depending on the specific model. Compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V or Mazda CX-5 are around 1.7 meters tall, while larger ones such as the Chevrolet Suburban or Mercedes-Benz G-Class can reach up to 1.85 meters. The taller body makes it easier for SUVs to navigate rough roads, and they can just barely pass through parking garages with a 2-meter height limit. However, the downside is that the higher center of gravity increases the feeling of sway when turning, so extra caution is needed while driving. Before buying, I recommend visiting the dealership to measure in person or checking official data online—don’t just rely on what the salesperson says.
