What is the minimum ground clearance of the 4008?

The minimum ground clearance of the Peugeot 4008 is 170mm. Here are the relevant details: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. 2. The design of the minimum ground clearance must consider the passability when loading and unloading on transport platforms, as well as the possibility of avoiding scraping when the car is near the edge of a sidewalk. 3. The smaller the ground clearance, the poorer the ability to overcome obstacles. Sedans generally travel on flat urban roads, hence the smaller ground clearance. Off-road vehicles have a larger minimum ground clearance to allow for overcoming larger obstacles. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but lowers the center of gravity, increasing stability.

I've been driving the Peugeot 4008 for over two years, and its 19cm ground clearance is quite practical for daily driving. I remember going camping in the suburbs last year and encountering uneven dirt roads – this height prevented any undercarriage scrapes, saving me a lot of trouble. The clearance is 19cm when unloaded, but if the car is fully loaded with passengers or large luggage, the suspension compresses slightly, reducing the clearance to about 17cm, so you need to drive carefully to protect the undercarriage components. Factors affecting the height include tire pressure and wear – too low pressure or aged tires can cause the car to sit lower, so it's recommended to check every 5,000 km. Ground clearance is also crucial on rainy or snowy days with standing water, preventing water from entering the undercarriage and ensuring safety. Slowing down when driving on bumpy roads is common sense, and regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of the undercarriage.

As an SUV enthusiast, the Peugeot 4008's 19cm minimum ground clearance is outstanding among its peers. During my test drive, I compared it with the Honda CR-V's 185mm, and the 4008's height makes it smoother when crossing small slopes or rocky roads, significantly improving off-road capability. Of course, hardcore off-road vehicles have higher clearance, but for light urban off-roading, it's more than sufficient. Factors affecting clearance include load and suspension design; when fully loaded, the height slightly decreases but doesn't impact passability. It's advisable to modify for increased tread height but keep it within limits to avoid affecting stability. Higher ground clearance reduces the risk of undercarriage damage, which is particularly useful on rural roads or during road trips, and combined with the 4008's power output, it boosts driving confidence. Maintaining standard values and checking tire pressure is key.

I took my child on a trip with the 4008, and its 19cm minimum ground clearance ensures safe and comfortable travel. When going over speed bumps, I don't worry about scraping the undercarriage, and my child sits steadily. Especially during rainy days, the high clearance prevents water ingress risks. In practical use, the unloaded clearance is 19cm, but when fully loaded with luggage, it may drop to around 17-18cm, so it's important to maintain good driving habits and avoid speeding over potholes. Tire condition affects the height—new tires maintain the standard, while worn ones may lower it slightly, so regular tire pressure checks are essential; checking every six months is sufficient. The 19cm design strikes a balance between practicality and suitability for family use.
