What is the minimum ground clearance of the 2019 Magotan?
2 Answers
Under full load conditions, the minimum ground clearance of the 2019 Magotan is 114mm. Below is an introduction to vehicle ground clearance: 1. The minimum ground clearance of a vehicle, also known as chassis height, refers to the shortest distance from the car's chassis to the ground when the vehicle is at maximum load capacity. 2. Typically, the minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the most protruding part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is parked on a level surface under rated full load. The minimum ground clearance determines the vehicle's passing ability. 3. The ground clearance value of a car is not fixed; it depends on the load condition.
The official data for the 2019 Magotan's minimum ground clearance is approximately 114mm. Based on my daily driving experience, it is entirely sufficient for commuting on urban roads. I've been driving this car for over two years, and it rarely bottoms out on speed bumps or minor road imperfections in the city, with the suspension performing very stably. However, on a weekend trip with the family, the trunk was fully loaded with luggage, causing the car to noticeably sag, possibly reducing the clearance to below 100mm. I had to drive extra carefully on rural dirt roads. It's advisable for owners to regularly check tire pressure and the suspension system, as proper tire pressure helps maintain the ideal height, while larger wheel sizes may slightly reduce clearance. In comparison, SUVs like the Tiguan L, with a 200mm clearance, offer better off-road capability, making the Magotan more suited for highway driving. If you frequently encounter rough roads, consider installing underbody protection, though this may increase fuel consumption. Always check the manual before any modifications to avoid ineffective changes. Overall, the 114mm design balances comfort and efficiency—just avoid overloading, and you can drive with confidence.
