What is the minimum ground clearance of the Roewe i5?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Roewe i5 is 116mm. The front suspension of the Roewe i5 adopts a relatively traditional MacPherson strut structure with a single-layer stamped lower control arm, featuring a split and detachable design. The rear suspension is a torsion beam structure, with a V-shaped central connecting beam and shock absorbers set at a certain tilt angle. This design increases the shock absorber travel and enhances suspension flexibility. Relevant information about the minimum ground clearance is as follows: 1. Design: The design of the minimum ground clearance must consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, as well as the likelihood of avoiding scraping when the car approaches ordinary curb edges. If the vehicle is intended for sale in a specific country or region, local road conditions must also be taken into account. 2. Related introduction: Generally, the minimum ground clearance of a sedan ranges between 110mm and 150mm. For sedans, a larger ground clearance (over 130mm) provides relatively better passability but poorer high-speed stability, while a smaller ground clearance (below 110mm) offers better high-speed stability but poorer passability.
As an owner who has driven the Roewe i5, I'd like to share that the minimum ground clearance is approximately 125mm, which may vary depending on tire pressure and road conditions. It's quite comfortable for city driving, handling speed bumps or small potholes without easily scraping the undercarriage. However, extra caution is needed if frequently driving on rough roads. I remember one time when fully loaded with luggage, the clearance was slightly reduced, resulting in a scrape on a construction site road—since then, I've reminded myself not to overload. New owners are advised to regularly check tire pressure and the suspension system to maintain normal values and avoid accidents. Occasional outings to the countryside are generally fine, as the overall design leans towards practicality.
