What is the minimum ground clearance of the Geely Binrui?
2 Answers
Geely Binrui has a minimum ground clearance of 165mm when unloaded. Below is relevant information about the Geely Binrui: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded, indicating its ability to overcome obstacles (such as stones, etc.). 2. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or rough ground but lowers the center of gravity, thereby increasing stability. 3. The ground clearance values of a car are not static; they depend on the load condition. Therefore, determining ground clearance also depends on load variations, and it is necessary to consider the maximum changes in load when evaluating ground clearance.
I've driven the Geely Binyue on quite a few rural roads and paid special attention to its ground clearance. The car has a minimum unladen ground clearance of 127mm, about the height of a smartphone held vertically. On a previous self-drive trip, when fully loaded with five adults plus luggage, it didn't scrape the undercarriage on dirt roads. However, the front lip sits lower, so you need to go slow when approaching right-angle curbs. For a sedan, it has pretty good off-road capability - though not SUV-level, it's perfectly adequate for normal roads. I've never had issues with scraping the curb when parking, and there's no need to worry about undercarriage damage during daily city driving. A friend who installed lowering springs says you need to be extra careful with speed bumps after reducing the clearance to two-finger width.
