What is the minimum ground clearance of the Lavida?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Lavida is 110mm. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the level ground when the car is parked on a horizontal surface under rated full load. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or uneven terrain but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability. The Lavida is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height.
Speaking of the Lavida's minimum ground clearance, as a long-time owner who's driven it for several years, I recall it's approximately 138 millimeters. This height is quite suitable for daily driving—it handles city roads with ease and remains stable on highways. I often drive on suburban roads, and as long as I slow down for speed bumps or minor potholes, the chassis rarely scrapes. While it doesn't sit as high as an SUV, its lower center of gravity makes handling more effortless, with no body roll during turns, and noticeably better fuel efficiency. During routine maintenance, I always ask the technician to inspect the chassis for any signs of impact, ensuring everything is in good condition for peace of mind on the road.
