What is the minimum ground clearance of the SAIC Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the SAIC Volkswagen Lavida is 115mm. Its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a trunk capacity of 510 liters. The 2021 Comfort version features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear trailing arm semi-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I remember the minimum ground clearance of the SAIC Volkswagen Lavida is about 138mm. This figure refers to the minimum distance between the lowest part of the car's chassis and the ground. For me, having driven for many years, this height is completely sufficient for city driving, handling small potholes or speed bumps without any issues. However, you need to be careful when driving on rural dirt roads. If you encounter mud pits or uneven surfaces, the chassis might scrape a bit, affecting safety. Actually, higher ground clearance can improve off-road capability, but if it's too high, it increases wind resistance while driving, potentially leading to higher fuel consumption. I suggest fellow drivers pay attention to maintaining tire pressure at the standard value and avoid overloading heavy items, as this can prevent suspension compression from reducing the clearance. Regularly checking the wear and tear on the car's chassis is also important to ensure long-term stability.
