Volkswagen Bora's minimum ground clearance is 122mm. Here are the related details: Introduction to Minimum Ground Clearance: Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid parts underneath the vehicle. Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load; the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Since professional equipment and absolutely identical conditions are not used, the measured values may deviate slightly from the official data (objective factors include ground flatness, tire pressure, fuel level, etc.). Introduction to Volkswagen Bora: Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, a wheelbase of 2688mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 506 liters, and a curb weight of 1320kg. The 2021 Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum power of 85kW, and a maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Bora for five years and always felt its ground clearance was just right. The official data shows a minimum ground clearance of 126mm, and my actual driving experience confirms that this height is more than sufficient for daily urban roads. It never scrapes the undercarriage on underground parking ramps, and speed bumps in residential areas don't cause uncomfortable jolts. Last week when I drove back to my rural hometown on gravel roads, taking it slow posed no problems at all, though I had to be extra careful with big potholes when fully loaded. It might be considered too low for frequent off-road use, but for city commuting this height is truly ideal.
