What is the minimum ground clearance of the Lamando?

The minimum ground clearance of the Lamando is 114mm. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. The Lamando is a compact car introduced by SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4599mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2656mm. In terms of appearance, the Lamando features a diving and horizontally expanded front face, with two chrome decorations placed on the upper grille, integrated with the chrome eyebrow line of the headlights. The front bumper, combined with the lower grille, extends horizontally towards both sides, creating a striking visual impact.
I've been driving the Lamando for several years, and its minimum ground clearance of 125mm is quite suitable for city driving. When encountering speed bumps or small potholes, the chassis rarely scrapes, making it fully adequate for daily commuting. If driving on mountain roads or bumpy sections, remember to slow down. When fully loaded, the clearance slightly decreases, so I always remind my friends not to go too fast over bumps. You can measure the clearance yourself by checking from the ground to the lowest point under the car. Maintaining proper tire pressure also helps avoid additional wear.
As a car enthusiast, I think the Lamando's 125mm minimum ground clearance is ingeniously designed, striking a balance between comfort and performance. Compared to some peers like the Golf's 130mm, the Lamando is slightly lower but offers more stable cornering without the body roll typical of SUVs. Key factors affecting passability also include suspension and chassis, so there's no need to worry about flooding when driving through puddles on rainy days. For occasional long trips, I prefer flat roads to avoid damaging the car body.
