What is the minimum ground clearance of the Honda CR-V?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Honda CR-V is 137mm. The new CR-V adopts Honda's latest family design language in its exterior, featuring a more rugged styling. The large chrome strip on the front grille is particularly eye-catching, and the sharp LED headlights on both sides connected to the grille enhance its bold appearance. Here are some key details about the Honda CR-V: 1. Exterior: As a compact SUV, the side profile of the car showcases more extended and sleek waistlines, with a three-dimensional waistline design that highlights its sporty character. The rear design is relatively simple, featuring a sickle-shaped taillight design. The smoked taillights provide high visibility when illuminated at night. 2. Powertrain: The Honda CR-V is equipped with either a 1.5T or a 2.0L Earth Dreams Technology turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 142kW (193Ps) at 5600rpm and a peak torque of 243N·m between 2000-5000rpm. Paired with a CVT transmission, it achieves a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9.5 seconds in real-world tests, offering smooth performance rather than outstanding speed. The vehicle comes with features such as full LED headlights, active cornering lights, adaptive high beam assist, panoramic sunroof, one-touch power windows for all doors, dual-zone climate control, power tailgate, leather seats, 12-way power-adjustable seats, HUD head-up display, automatic parking assist, and ACC adaptive cruise control system.
As a long-time Honda CR-V owner, I recall the minimum ground clearance is about 8 inches (approximately 203 mm when converted), which proves particularly useful for urban commuting. When encountering speed bumps or rough rural roads, the vehicle's undercarriage is less likely to get scraped. Last time I drove back to my hometown on bumpy roads, the CR-V handled them effortlessly thanks to its ground clearance. Additionally, it's important to consider the impact of vehicle load: if the rear seats are fully occupied and the trunk is packed with luggage, the ground clearance might decrease by about an inch. During maintenance, check the tire pressure as both overinflation and underinflation can affect the clearance. Overall, the 8-inch height strikes a good balance between comfort and off-road capability, giving you one less thing to worry about.
