What is the minimum ground clearance of a car?
1 Answers
Generally, the minimum ground clearance of a sedan ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while that of an SUV ranges from 200mm to 250mm. Below are the specific details about car ground clearance: 1. Concept: Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid objects at the bottom of the vehicle. The ground clearance of a car varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded. Ground clearance is categorized into unloaded and loaded conditions, with the loaded ground clearance also known as the minimum ground clearance. This refers to the shortest distance between the lowest protruding part of the vehicle's chassis and the ground when the vehicle is parked horizontally under the rated full load condition. 2. Characteristics of clearance size: Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load; the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Vehicles with smaller ground clearance have a lower center of gravity but poorer passability. Vehicles with larger ground clearance have better passability; higher ground clearance not only improves performance on gravel or mountainous roads but also helps prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe when crossing flooded roads and makes it easier to park on curbs or other parking spaces with height differences.
