What is the minimum ground clearance of the Octavia Combi?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Octavia Combi is 140mm. The Octavia Combi is developed based on the MQB platform, with a wheelbase of 2686mm and a length of 4687mm, bringing its body length close to 4.7 meters. Such dimensions ensure ample space for both passengers and luggage. In terms of configuration, the Octavia comes standard with a 9-inch central control screen, roof rack, and other features. The higher-end models are equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, full LED adaptive headlights, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seats, a leather multifunction steering wheel, 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat with three memory settings, front seat heating, tire pressure monitoring, fatigue driving reminder, rear parking sensors with a rearview camera, power-folding and auto-dipping exterior mirrors, keyless entry with push-button start, and an electric tailgate.
Oh, the Skoda Octavia Combi has a minimum ground clearance of around 145mm, which is quite important for my family trips. For instance, when we go camping with the whole family or drive over dirt roads or speed bumps, I feel the chassis won't easily scrape the ground. I know some SUVs can reach 200mm, but for a station wagon, this is pretty decent, especially since it's fuel-efficient and great for daily highway driving. During regular maintenance, I make sure not to overload the car to prevent the suspension from sagging and affecting the height. I also periodically check tire wear because reduced clearance can make the chassis components more vulnerable on bumpy roads. Overall, as someone who frequently travels, I think this design strikes a good balance between comfort and off-road capability. If you often drive on rough terrain, you can always add some protective accessories.
