What is the measured ground clearance of the Avancier?
2 Answers
Under no-load conditions, the measured ground clearance of the Avancier is 203mm; under full-load conditions, the measured ground clearance is 190mm. Minimum ground clearance reflects a vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or rough terrain, but with a higher center of gravity that reduces stability. Conversely, the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker this capability becomes, though the lower center of gravity enhances stability. Minimum ground clearance values are subject to certain limitations related to vehicle function and aerodynamics. For instance, sports cars typically have smaller minimum ground clearances, while SUVs feature larger ones. Family sedans usually have minimum ground clearances ranging between 110mm and 150mm. To increase a car's ground clearance, spacers can be added at an auto modification shop. For better results, replacing a shock absorber is also an option.
I've driven quite a few SUVs, and the measured ground clearance of the Avancier is typically around 200mm, measured directly from the lowest point of the chassis. When unloaded, it measures about 20 centimeters, but drops below 190mm when fully loaded due to suspension compression. The measurement method is simple—just use a tape measure on level ground to check beneath the front axle or near the fuel tank. A 200mm height is more than sufficient for city driving, easily handling curbs without scraping the undercarriage, but you still need to be cautious of sharp rocks and steep slopes when off-roading. As someone who frequently works on cars, I recommend regularly checking this height, especially after changing tires or installing underbody protection, as it affects both clearance and fuel efficiency. Overall, the Avancier is well-balanced in design—safe and practical.
