What is the minimum ground clearance of the Camry and Accord?
2 Answers
Camry's minimum ground clearance is 159mm, and Accord's minimum ground clearance is 100mm. The minimum ground clearance reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. Taking the 2019 Camry as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4885mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2825mm, fuel tank capacity 60l, and curb weight 1530kg. The 2019 Camry features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 178ps, maximum power of 131kw, and maximum torque of 210nm, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
I think safe driving is very important. For example, the Camry usually has a minimum ground clearance of around 135mm, while the Accord is about 138mm. This height effectively prevents chassis scraping in daily road conditions, especially when encountering potholes or standing water. I remember once driving in the countryside on uneven roads, and thanks to sufficient clearance, there was no accident. It affects the vehicle's passability and stability, but don't worry too much—the difference is minimal for normal city driving. Regularly checking tire pressure and the chassis can reduce risks, keeping safety first. It's advisable to test it before choosing a car, as it may vary by model year.
