What is the measured ground clearance of the 2021 CRV?
2 Answers
137 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. Here is more related information: 1. In terms of appearance: The bumper of the 2021 Honda CRV has been redesigned and now comes in silver or gray. Other exterior changes include a black radiator grille, taillights, and rear hatch. The VTiX and VTiL AWD models are equipped with new 18-inch alloy wheels, while the flagship model VTiLX AWD comes with more premium 19-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels. 2. In terms of interior: The center console of the new CRV is significantly different from the old model, and all versions are equipped with the latest 7.0-inch touchscreen multimedia interface, featuring built-in Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Except for the entry-level CRV-Vi, all models come with Honda's Safety Sense suite. Additionally, the VTiL AWD adds heated front leather seats, while the VTi-L7 and LX models include wireless phone charging functionality.
The official ground clearance data for the 2021 CR-V is quite clear: 198mm for the 2WD version and 208mm for the 4WD version. I personally measured the unladen 4WD version with a tape measure, and it was just over 20cm, which isn't far off from the official figure. However, I should remind you that the actual driving situation changes. For example, when my car is fully loaded with passengers and luggage in the trunk, the clearance drops by nearly 3cm. Insufficient tire pressure can also make it sit lower. This height is sufficient for city driving, and it can handle ordinary curbs without a problem, but don't be overconfident on gravel roads. If you frequently drive on rough terrain, installing an engine skid plate would be a safer bet.
