What is the minimum ground clearance of the Honda Civic?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Honda Civic has a minimum ground clearance of 105mm. Here is a partial introduction about the minimum ground clearance: 1. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. 2. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability. Extended information: The minimum ground clearance is the distance between the most prominent part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is fully loaded, which reflects the car's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision.
I've been driving a Honda Civic for four years now, and its minimum ground clearance is about 140 millimeters. This height is quite moderate - when driving on city roads, going over speed bumps or potholes, I rarely experience any scraping of the undercarriage. Before buying the car, I did some research and found that cars with too low ground clearance are prone to scraping on bad roads, while those with too high clearance feel less stable at highway speeds. The Civic strikes a good balance in this regard, making it worry-free and safe to drive. I often take road trips to suburban areas, and the Civic performs well on dirt roads or waterlogged surfaces, with adequate undercarriage protection. The newer Civic models might have slightly different ground clearances depending on the variant, but most fall within the 130 to 150 millimeter range. Overall, for a family car, 140 millimeters is a safe value - it's perfectly adequate without being excessive.
