What is the maximum height of a sedan?
2 Answers
Automobile height generally ranges between 1400mm to 1600mm. Vehicle length refers to: The distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, respectively touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. Vehicle width refers to: The distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane and respectively touching the fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle (excluding rearview mirrors, marker lights, position lights, turn signals, flexible mudguards, folding footboards, anti-skid chains, and the part of tires in contact with the ground). Vehicle height refers to: The distance between the vehicle's supporting plane and the horizontal plane touching the highest protruding part of the vehicle.
I usually drive a compact car for daily commuting, with a typical height ranging between 1.4 to 1.6 meters, such as common models like the Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. When choosing a car, I always consider this aspect: too low and it might scrape the bottom over bumps, too high and it increases wind resistance and fuel consumption. For city driving, a sedan around 1.5 meters is ideal—easy to park with good visibility. If heading to rough rural roads, an SUV with a height of up to 1.8 meters offers more practicality. Don’t assume you can endlessly increase the height; excessive height makes the vehicle unstable and prone to rollovers, and modifications must comply with safety standards. For everyday use, mainstream sedans are sufficient—easy to handle and worry-free.
