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.

What is the perfect solution for jerking in the eighth-generation Civic?

The jerking and slipping of the eighth-generation Civic's automatic transmission are often caused by internal dirt and impurities, especially when they accumulate inside the valve body, forming blockages that prevent effective regulation of oil pressure, leading to jerking, impact, and slipping issues. To resolve the jerking problem, it is necessary to remove stubborn dirt and impurities from the transmission and effectively control the transmission's operating temperature. Below are common transmission faults: 1. Oil leakage: Oil seeping from the transmission casing or oil pan can be due to aging seals causing poor sealing or manufacturing defects resulting in pinholes in the casing. 2. Engine stalling when engaging gear: Stalling when shifting into D or R may be caused by a damaged lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. 3. Locked gear: Incorrect input or output signals from the transmission or issues with components or wiring can cause this. Sometimes, communication problems between the transmission computer and other system computers can also lead to this issue. 4. No response when engaging gear: The vehicle does not move after shifting into D or R and releasing the brake. This is often due to damage to the input shaft or reverse clutch, or failure of the D/R brake. 5. Abnormal noise: Unusual sounds from the transmission area while driving are usually caused by worn parts or improper installation of the transmission.

How often should the brake fluid be changed in a Buick Regal?

Buick Regal brake fluid is generally changed every two years. Here is a brief introduction: 1. The replacement interval can vary depending on the vehicle's usage conditions, and it is also related to the brand of brake fluid and the vehicle model. 2. The brake fluid specification for the Buick Regal is DOT4. Below are the consequences of not changing the brake fluid in a Buick Regal for an extended period: Although the replacement cycle for brake fluid is relatively long, failure to change it in a timely manner can lead to the brake fluid becoming turbid, a decrease in boiling point, and reduced effectiveness. Over time, this can damage the entire braking system (repair costs can be as high as thousands of yuan) and even result in brake failure.

What are the solutions for insufficient power in the eighth-generation Accord?

The main reason for insufficient power in the eighth-generation Accord is poor combustion quality, such as inadequate fuel injection, excessive carbon deposits, or a high air-fuel ratio. Adding fuel additives to the gasoline can effectively remove gum deposits in the fuel injection system and carbon buildup in the combustion chamber, while also improving fuel quality. This ensures rapid and clean combustion, maintaining the air-fuel ratio at an optimal level, thereby allowing the engine to perform at its best and deliver full power. Below is a brief introduction to the tenth-generation Accord: 1. Engine: The tenth-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, paired with a CVT transmission. 2. Body dimensions: The tenth-generation Accord measures 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.

What is the service life and mileage limit for car tires?

The service life of tires is generally around 2-3 years or 60,000-100,000 kilometers. If there is any damage exceeding 5 locations, early replacement is required. If road conditions are poor and tire wear is severe, early replacement is also necessary. Below is extended information: 1. Replacement timing: Even if tires show no issues (such as excessive patches, side punctures, etc.), replacement is recommended if they have been in use for four years, even if mileage hasn't reached 80,000 km. Similarly, if mileage reaches 80,000 km within less than four years, replacement is still advised. Even seemingly problem-free tires should be replaced because their primary material is rubber, which undergoes prolonged aging. Moreover, vehicle usage environments are frequently exposed to sunlight. 2. Hazards of aged tires: Aged tires pose hidden dangers - under normal driving conditions they can increase fuel consumption, while reduced tread traction and adhesion significantly extend braking distances. Failure to replace them promptly will substantially increase driving safety risks. From a safety perspective, timely replacement is essential. 3. Tire lifespan: Additionally, a tire's service life is closely related to the vehicle's operating environment, including climate, driving/parking conditions, and the owner's driving habits - all factors that influence automotive tire longevity.
