What is the minimum ground clearance of the Sharan?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Sharan is 152mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the chassis and the ground when the car is fully loaded. The minimum ground clearance reflects the car's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. The Sharan's body dimensions are 4854mm in length, 1904mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm. In terms of power, the base model of the Sharan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, while the other models use a 2.0T turbocharged engine. The 1.4T model has a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
As a frequent driver of the Volkswagen Sharan, I find the minimum ground clearance of around 156mm quite suitable. This height is above average among MPV models—higher than regular sedans but lower than SUVs. When taking family trips, it rarely scrapes the bottom on bumpy roads. It can handle shallow puddles during rainy days, but deep water areas still require caution. The chassis height affects overall stability and is designed to balance passability with comfort. I recommend owners regularly check tire conditions, as excessive wear can impact the actual clearance. Don't neglect daily maintenance, and avoid overloading to prevent reduced clearance.
