Haoying's minimum ground clearance is 208mm. Here is some introduction about the minimum ground clearance: 1. The minimum ground clearance of a car refers to the height of the car's chassis. It is the shortest distance between the car's chassis and the ground when the car is fully loaded. Different types of cars have different minimum ground clearances, which affects the car's off-road capability. 2. In the initial regulations, the minimum ground clearance of a car could not be less than 160mm, but with the continuous development of car production technology, this regulation has been abolished.

















I usually drive the Breeze for my daily commute and often go to the suburbs. I feel its ground clearance is quite suitable. The official data shows a minimum ground clearance of about 190mm, which drops to just over 180mm when fully loaded. This height makes it easy to go over ordinary curbs, and last time I went back to the countryside, I didn't scrape the bottom even on bumpy dirt roads. However, please note that there might be slight differences between different years and versions—the new hybrid version seems a bit higher. If you often drive on rough roads, I recommend installing an engine guard, as the original plastic underbody is a bit risky when encountering large rocks. Tire pressure also affects the actual height, so I check it every week to ensure it's at the standard value.

After comparing several SUVs in the same class, the Breeze's 190mm ground clearance is considered above average. I recall it's about 10mm higher than the CR-V but slightly lower than the Highlander. During the test drive, I deliberately sought out steep slopes to test, and the approach angle was sufficient without scraping the front lip. It performs perfectly fine in daily city driving, even handling steep slopes in mall parking garages. The only thing to note is that when the trunk is fully loaded, the rear suspension tends to sag, so you'll need to slow down when going over speed bumps. Some owners have modified their suspensions to raise the height by 2cm, but I believe the factory-tuned balance is optimal, offering a good compromise between off-road capability and stability.

Recently accompanied my cousin to check out cars and specifically studied the ground clearance parameters of the Breeze. The measured minimum ground clearance when unloaded is around 190mm, which is above average among urban SUVs. For comparison, it's 15mm higher than the Volkswagen Tiguan L but slightly lower than the Nissan X-Trail. In practical use, it's more than sufficient for city commuting and can handle most curbs. When encountering unpaved roads during road trips, it can handle most bumps unless they're extremely rough. The main advantage is its flat underbody with well-protected fuel lines and pipes, making it less likely to damage critical components even with occasional scrapes. It's recommended to maintain tire pressure at 2.3bar for optimal performance.

Last time I drove the Breeze to western Sichuan, I specifically observed its off-road capability. The factory-claimed 190mm ground clearance is sufficient for most national highways, but three points should be noted: the rear axle will lower by 2cm when fully loaded; actual clearance height decreases after installing side steps; snow chains will consume another 3cm of clearance. On gravel roads, it's recommended not to exceed 40km/h, and stop immediately for inspection if scraping sounds are heard. Once when encountering a protruding rock, the aluminum alloy skid plate I installed saved the oil pan from damage. Compared to hardcore off-road vehicles, this urban SUV primarily relies on driving skills to compensate—choosing the right path is more important than charging blindly.

As a Breeze owner, I find its ground clearance design highly practical. The official 190mm specification is perfectly adequate for daily scenarios: smooth passage over residential speed bumps, no scraping on underground garage ramps, and confident driving through rainy-day puddles. During last week's camping trip on unpaved roads where sedans had to detour, my Breeze traversed effortlessly. The main caution is avoiding overloading - when the trunk is fully packed, the rear suspension compression becomes noticeably pronounced. During maintenance, the technician mentioned the resin underbody protection panel guards against minor scrapes but cautioned against significant impacts. Compared to peers, the Breeze's departure angle design is particularly well-considered, preventing rear-end contact during steep descents - a definite plus point.
