Mazda CX-5 Comfort Edition model has a minimum ground clearance of 215mm, while the Luxury Edition, Premium Edition, and Navigation Edition models have a minimum ground clearance of 210mm. Below is some related information about Mazda: Design Philosophy: The 2019 Mazda CX-5 adopts the "KODO: Soul of Motion" design philosophy, featuring sharp contours on the front end. The narrow headlights and large U-shaped grille enhance the visual impact of the front face. The streamlined body exudes a sense of dynamism, and the slightly rearward A-pillar design extends the visual center of gravity backward, creating a poised and powerful stance. Ground Clearance: The minimum ground clearance of sedans is generally not less than 110mm and not more than 150mm. From the perspective of sedan characteristics, if the ground clearance can exceed 130mm, the vehicle's passability is relatively good. However, stability may be compromised at higher speeds. Conversely, the smaller the ground clearance (below 110mm), the better the stability at high speeds.

I'm a mom of two, and our family drives a CX-5. Last week when we went for a picnic with the kids, I specifically measured it—the ground clearance is about 215mm when the car is empty, so my child could easily reach a soccer ball that rolled underneath. It’s sufficient for daily rural road driving, but last month when the trunk was packed with a stroller for a trip back home, the exhaust pipe guard scraped over a speed bump. A reminder to everyone: ground clearance shrinks when loaded. With three adults and luggage, I measured only about two fingers' width left, so drive cautiously through waterlogged areas on rainy days. The car’s ground clearance isn’t particularly high, so remember to take bumps at an angle.

I've modified three CX-5s, and the tested ground clearance is sufficient for light off-roading. The factory 215mm data refers to the lowest point of the front lip, and switching to 235 tires can raise it by another 8mm. During my last self-drive trip to Moganshan, there was no scraping on the gravel roads. Note that the ground clearance near the fuel tank is only 190mm, and the rear suspension compresses noticeably when fully loaded with four people, so it's recommended to distribute luggage evenly. Modifying with shorter springs will sacrifice 3cm of height, so route planning is essential when crossing axle-twisting terrain.

A post-95 female car owner based in Shenzhen often encounters road construction during her commute. The CX-5 can easily climb a 15cm curb, with actual measurements showing one finger's width more clearance than the CR-V. However, the chassis sinks slightly when the auto start-stop is active, and ground clearance is highest right after startup. Last month, the front lip scraped on a shopping mall's underground ramp, which was later found to be due to low tire pressure. Maintaining tire pressure at 2.5Bar provides the ideal ground clearance. The lower edge of the wipers is exactly 1 meter high—avoid water levels exceeding this line.

Does an expired digital driver's license need to be replaced?

An expired digital driver's license needs to be replaced. For those who have already applied for a digital driver's license, if there are changes in the permitted vehicle types, license validity period, or issuing authority, they must reapply for a digital driver's license after completing the license replacement process. Channels for applying for a digital driver's license: The digital driver's license will be issued through the nationwide unified "Traffic Management 12123" platform. Drivers in cities where the platform is promoted and applied can log in to "Traffic Management 12123" and follow the prompts to apply for a digital driver's license. It should be noted that the applicant's driver's license must be valid. If the driver's license is suspended, temporarily revoked, overdue for medical examination, overdue for review, or announced as discontinued, the digital driver's license cannot be applied for. Digital driver's license pilot program: The digital driver's license, commonly known as the "electronic driver's license," was piloted in three cities—Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou—starting from June 1, 2021, for the digitalization of motor vehicle driver's licenses. It provides drivers with online "license display" and "code display" services, better facilitating public affairs and travel. It will be fully promoted nationwide in 2022.

How to Identify the Production Date of Car Glass?

Methods to identify the production date of car glass: Look for a code in the lower left or lower right corner of the glass. In the last or second-to-last row, there is a number and several small black dots. The number of small black dots indicates the production month of the glass. If the small black dots are in front of the number, subtract the number of dots from 7; if the small black dots are behind the number, subtract the number of dots from 13. The result is the production month of the glass. There are mainly three types of automotive glass: laminated glass, tempered glass, and zone-tempered glass. Laminated glass is a glass product made by bonding two or more layers of glass with one or more layers of transparent adhesive material.

How far can you drive with the fuel light flashing?

The fuel light flashing generally indicates that you can drive about 40 kilometers. However, standards vary for different car models, so it is recommended to refuel as soon as possible. Fuel-saving tips are as follows: Control RPM: While driving, control the car's fuel consumption by monitoring the tachometer's RPM. Generally, for fuel-injected engines, the optimal RPM range is around 2200-2500. Driving within this range can help save fuel and avoid excessive waste. Maintain speed: Cars consume less fuel when driving at a constant speed in a straight line. For small-displacement cars, the most fuel-efficient speed is 60-80 km/h, while for medium-displacement cars, it's 80-100 km/h. The car's economical speed is usually indicated in the maintenance manual, which can help drivers save fuel during operation. Smooth acceleration: Whether driving a manual or automatic transmission car, it's important to accelerate smoothly when starting. Gradually press the accelerator pedal and accelerate slowly, shifting gears appropriately based on the engine's sound. This can improve fuel efficiency.

How to Apply for a Charging Pile?

The application process for a charging pile: 1. Check if the garage meets the installation conditions for a charging pile; 2. Communicate with the manufacturer when purchasing the vehicle to see if they can install a charging pile in the garage; 3. Apply to the property management, providing details such as the occupied area, installation plan, and power requirements; 4. Submit the required materials to the power supply department for installation approval; 5. Wait for construction after approval. The function of a charging pile is similar to that of a fuel dispenser at a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or wall, installed in public buildings (such as public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential parking lots or charging stations, and can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels.

How to Determine the Compression Top Dead Center of Cylinder 1

Methods to determine the compression top dead center of cylinder 1: 1. First locate the compression stroke, then identify the compression top dead center; 2. Observe the top dead center timing marks on the engine—when the marks align, it indicates top dead center; 3. Check the crankshaft connecting rod journal—when the connecting rod journal of cylinder 1 is at its highest point, it is top dead center; 4. Observe the jet from the spark plug hole of cylinder 1—insert a paper ball into the spark plug hole of cylinder 1, rotate the crankshaft, and when the paper ball is ejected, turn the crankshaft slightly further in the direction of rotation to reach top dead center; 5. Using the static top dead center mark on the engine flywheel as a reference, manually rotate the engine to bring the piston to the top of the cylinder and then slightly lower it. Carefully locate the highest point of the piston using methods such as a dial indicator and midpoint stroke measurement—this is the top dead center.
