The minimum ground clearance of the Jade is 110mm. The 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. The Jade is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of 4667mm in length, 1775mm in width, 1530mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2760mm. The Jade is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 203 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear double-wishbone independent suspension.

I've been driving a Volkswagen Jetta for several years, and its minimum ground clearance is about 146 millimeters, roughly 5.75 inches. This height is quite suitable for daily city driving, as it rarely scrapes the chassis when encountering speed bumps or curbs. I think it's designed quite balanced—too high, and the center of gravity becomes unstable, affecting cornering control; too low, and it's prone to scraping the engine or exhaust components on rough roads. I usually pay attention to road potholes and maintain proper tire pressure to slightly optimize the clearance effect. Also, compared to other cars in the same class, such as the Civic with only 136 millimeters, the Jetta's clearance is indeed more practical, especially in rainy or snowy conditions, offering much better passability. After buying the car, checking the suspension components and regular maintenance can help prolong the stability of the ground clearance.

As a car enthusiast, I really value ground clearance. The standard minimum for the Volkswagen Jetta is 146 mm, which makes it stable at high speeds but don't count on it for off-roading. When I was into modifications, I tried adding a suspension kit to raise it slightly to over 150 mm, improving passability, but you have to be careful as the higher center of gravity can make it feel floaty in turns. Clearance affects the vehicle's approach and departure angles, so take it slow and steady on steep slopes. I also checked that there are slight variations between different model years, like minor adjustments in newer versions. When parking, avoid slopes—protecting the undercarriage is more important. Compared to performance cars like the Focus with lower clearance, the Jetta is better suited for regular road conditions.

I think ground clearance is quite important for car safety. The Volkswagen Jetta has a minimum clearance of around 146mm, which helps reduce the risk of undercarriage impacts on bumpy roads. When driving through puddles or gravel sections, sufficient clearance protects critical components from damage. The design considers daily usability, but avoid sharp high-speed turns as excessive clearance may compromise stability. Actual measurement is taken from the wheel center to the lowest point, where the Jetta performs reliably. Always watch for road irregularities while driving - prevention is key.

What causes unstable idle speed in the Haval H5?

There are several reasons for unstable idle speed in a car: 1. Intake manifold leakage: Air, gasoline vapor, or combustion exhaust that should not enter the intake manifold leaks into it, causing the air-fuel mixture to become too rich or too lean, resulting in abnormal engine combustion; 2. Excessive carbon buildup: Excessive carbon deposits and dirt on the throttle body and intake passages change the cross-sectional area of the air passage, making it impossible for the control unit to precisely control the idle air intake, leading to an overly rich or lean mixture and abnormal combustion; 3. Component failure: Faulty components cause inaccurate idle air control; incorrect signals received by the control unit result in wrong commands, leading to improper idle air intake control and abnormal engine combustion, which are indirect causes of unstable idle speed.

Do I Need to Change License Plates When Changing Cars?

Changing cars requires changing plates. Here is the relevant information: 1. Used cars: If purchasing a used car, you need to re-register the license plate based on the quota. 2. New cars: If switching to a new car, the vehicle management office will reserve the old car's license plate for 6 months. If you have a new car under your name within these 6 months, you can reuse the original license plate without changing the number. Below are three conditions for applying to use the original license plate: 1. Transfer registration: Apply within six months after completing the transfer registration. 2. Original vehicle: The vehicle owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years. 3. Violation handling: All traffic violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved.

Who is at fault when the front car brakes suddenly and the rear car rear-ends?

If a car rear-ends another vehicle due to sudden braking by the front car, the rear car is generally fully at fault, except under special circumstances. Rear-end collisions are mostly caused by the following reasons: the distance between the two cars is too close, the rear car is driving too fast, the rear driver is distracted, the rear driver lacks driving skills, or the rear driver panics. In all these cases, the rear car is fully at fault because the collision results from the rear car's negligence. There are two special circumstances where the front car also bears responsibility: 1. The front car's brake lights are broken: In this case, the rear driver must provide solid evidence, and the front car will then bear its share of responsibility for the accident and face a fine. 2. Road rage, where the front car brakes intentionally: This violates traffic laws, and the front car must bear full responsibility. Evidence can be obtained through dashcams or road surveillance. Regardless of the situation, such incidents are dangerous. If it's just about compensating for vehicle damage, that might be acceptable, but if it involves personal safety or even lives, the cost would be enormous, leading to misfortune for both parties.

How often should the control arm bushings be replaced?

Under normal circumstances, the control arm bushings should be replaced approximately every 100,000 kilometers. In reality, the need for replacement should be determined based on actual conditions. If damage is detected early, they should be replaced promptly. Below is relevant information about the control arm: 1. Introduction: The control arm, also known as the swing arm, functions to balance and provide support. When driving on uneven roads, the tires move up and down, facilitated by the swinging motion of the control arm. The tire is mounted on the wheel hub, which is connected to the control arm via a ball joint. 2. Working Principle: The control arm essentially acts as a universal joint, maintaining linkage between the driving and driven sides even when their relative positions change, such as during steering while the shock absorber is compressed, causing the A-arm to lift. 3. Repair and Maintenance: If the control arm becomes deformed, the ball joint is damaged, or the bushings are worn out, repair or replacement is necessary.

Why does a 10-year-old Teana not exceed 3000 RPM when running on the highway?

It may be due to fuel quality issues or malfunctions in the fuel supply system. Since power provision is primarily achieved through the combined operation of the intake system, fuel supply system, related electronic circuits, and components, any abnormalities are most likely caused by fuel system failures. Below are the specific reasons: 1. Fuel quality issues: It could be caused by mixing different types or brands of fuel, or using problematic fuel from private gas stations, leading to unclean fuel lines. 2. Fuel supply system issues: Problems may arise in the fuel lines from the fuel tank to the internal combustion engine, such as blockages, ruptures, or the need to replace the fuel filter. The engine's failure rate is generally negligible, as engine technology is already quite mature.
