What is the minimum ground clearance of the Excelle?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Excelle is 138mm, and the ground clearance when fully loaded is 110mm. Taking the 2021 Excelle as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with the following body dimensions: length 4609mm, width 1798mm, height 1464mm, wheelbase 2640mm, fuel tank capacity 44L, and curb weight 1270kg. The 2021 Excelle features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113PS, maximum power of 83kW, and maximum torque of 141Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
As an owner who has been driving the Excelle for three years, I actually measured the ground clearance of this car, averaging around 130mm. It's completely sufficient for daily city driving, easily handling curbs without the instability of high-ground-clearance SUVs. I remember one rainy day when the water was a bit deep, the car just zoomed through without any issues. This height is great for stability, preventing too much sway during turns, and the fuel consumption isn't high either. However, on rural dirt roads, you need to be careful of stones hitting the undercarriage. It's advisable to add a protective plate or avoid potholes to save on repair costs. Overall, the Excelle's design is quite thoughtful, making it ideal for commuting and giving new drivers peace of mind.
