What is the minimum ground clearance of the Fista?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Hyundai Fista is 160mm. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. Below is some relevant information about the Fista: 1. The Hyundai Fista has a body length, width, and height of 4660mm, 1790mm, and 1425mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. 2. The Hyundai Fista features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension. The body structure is of a unibody design.
I recently rented a Hyundai Fista for some city cruising, and after driving it for a few days, it felt quite smooth. Checking the official specs, the car's minimum ground clearance is around 140mm, which doesn't sound particularly high, but as a compact sedan, it's well-suited for city commuting and daily driving. A lower ground clearance enhances body stability and fuel efficiency, making turns steadier with less body roll. The downside is that it's more prone to scraping the undercarriage on rough roads, especially over speed bumps or muddy rural paths—so you'll need to drive slower in those conditions. If you frequently take long trips or go on road trips, it's advisable to test-drive it first to confirm comfort. Overall, the Fista offers great value for money, with quick engine response and low fuel consumption, making it a solid choice for city drivers. In short, don't expect SUV-level off-road capability, but it's more than adequate for everyday use.
