What is the minimum ground clearance of the 10th-generation Accord chassis?

Honda's 10th-generation Accord has a chassis height of 100mm when fully loaded. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding wheels) and the supporting surface when fully loaded and stationary, which is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles such as stones and stumps without collision. 2. In terms of appearance, the 10th-generation Accord adopts a new family-style design language—the winged front face design. A lower body center of gravity, a ducktail spoiler design, and the family-style rotary LED taillights all maximize the Accord's youthful and dynamic feel. 3. For the interior, the 10th-generation Accord features the latest design, with a more simplified overall layout. It uses a new T-shaped center console with wood grain and chrome accents, replacing the dual-screen design of the previous model with a single floating large-size touchscreen. The digital instrument cluster adopts a new design style. The dual-exhaust setup adds a unique sporty touch.

I previously conducted specialized research on the chassis parameters of the 10th-generation Accord and found that Honda officially did not provide clear minimum ground clearance data, which was quite frustrating. However, based on actual measurements and feedback from owner communities, the lowest point of the front lip is approximately 100-110 mm when unloaded. This height is completely sufficient for ordinary urban roads, but extra caution is needed when encountering steep slopes or high-speed bumps, especially for modified cars with front splitters that require slower speeds. Once, when helping my cousin inspect a used car, I specifically measured the position of the battery pack under the chassis with a level. The hybrid version had only about a fist's height (120 mm) left, so driving through potholes required full attention.

Last week, my neighbor just picked up a used 10th-generation Accord. When accompanying him to the repair shop to install underbody protection panels, we measured the ground clearance. The repair manual states the lowest point of the engine undercover is 10.2 cm. In an unloaded state, you can still fit two stacked cans of Coke underneath. However, when fully loaded with five people going over the 15° slope of a mall's underground garage, the lower edge of the rear bumper slightly scrapes the ground. The mechanic suggested that with this ground clearance, it's safer to exit the garage at an angle rather than going straight up or down. Additionally, adding a resin undercover is quite necessary in rainy southern regions, as the factory undercover is particularly prone to cracking from impacts.

After driving my friend's 1.5T Luxury Edition, the most noticeable difference is its lower stance compared to the 9th-gen model. I used a laser distance measurer on my phone in a parking lot several times—the engine oil pan sits about 108mm off the ground, while the plastic trim below the headlights is only around 95mm. Though the numbers might seem decent, driving on rural dirt roads often results in pebbles chipping white marks on the lower front bumper. He later installed a metal skid plate, which reduced ground clearance by another 1.5cm. Now, he has to get out and check before passing construction zones—last time, it even severed the fog light wiring harness. For those frequently tackling rough roads, consider lifting the suspension or taking detours.
