What is the minimum ground clearance of a fully loaded Golf?
1 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of a fully loaded Golf is 115mm. The minimum ground clearance of the Golf refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance in the Golf improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Golf is built on Volkswagen's new MQB platform. The Golf's body dimensions are 4259mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1476mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2637mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the Golf's ground clearance is not static; it depends on the load condition, so changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Golf's load variations. When choosing a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The decision should be based on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, a vehicle with higher ground clearance may be preferable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage, considering the vehicle's off-road performance.
