What is the minimum ground clearance of the Equinox?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Equinox is 199mm when unloaded and 170mm when fully loaded. The minimum ground clearance reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. The Equinox is an SUV model officially released by Chevrolet, featuring Chevrolet's family-style design and equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. In terms of configuration, the Equinox is equipped with the MyLink system, panoramic camera, forward collision warning system, low-speed automatic braking, lane keeping, one-button start, front seat heating and ventilation, and other functions.
I used to drive a Chevrolet Equinox, with a minimum ground clearance of about 19 cm, which matches the official data. It was my daily commuter in the city, and its height made it less prone to scraping the undercarriage in traffic jams or when encountering small potholes on the road, which was quite reassuring. On weekends, when taking my wife and kids on highway trips to the suburbs, the car handled uneven surfaces comfortably, and the 19 cm clearance allowed it to smoothly pass most ordinary road sections, avoiding the hassle of bottoming out. If you frequently drive on rural dirt roads, this clearance is sufficient to handle muddy bumps, but don’t push it for hardcore off-roading. Remember to regularly check tire pressure and the undercarriage to prevent suspension issues from affecting the height, as this could slow you down or even cause component wear, compromising safety.
