What is the minimum ground clearance of the Audi A3?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Audi A3 is 118mm. It adopts a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. Here is more information about the Audi A3: 1. The Audi A3L not only has a longer wheelbase but also has increased dimensions in length, width, and height, measuring 4548*1814*1429mm with a wheelbase of 2680mm. There is a slight hump in the rear middle, but it does not have a significant impact. 2. The 2021 Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4T engine, delivering 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a 7DCT dual-clutch transmission. The official combined fuel consumption is 5.8L per 100 kilometers.
As a daily commuter, the Audi A3 typically has a ground clearance of around 140mm, which is quite suitable for city driving. It rarely scrapes the chassis when going over curbs or speed bumps. However, during my last trip to the suburbs, I encountered a rough dirt road and heard the chassis make noise when driving too fast—fortunately, there was no damage. I recommend that friends who frequently drive on poor roads pay attention to this parameter, as it affects the vehicle's passability. For instance, when installing larger wheels or carrying heavy loads, the ground clearance may drop below 120mm, making it more sensitive. Regular maintenance checks on the suspension and tire wear can help maintain optimal performance. Overall, the A3 is designed for comfort and meets the needs of most people, but for off-roading, an SUV would be a better choice.
