What is the minimum ground clearance of the Sylphy?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Sylphy is 150mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and stumps without collision. The Sylphy is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 155 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
I've been commuting daily with my Nissan Sylphy for several years. The car's minimum ground clearance is 138 millimeters, about the length of a smartphone. It handles urban driving smoothly, rarely scraping the undercarriage over speed bumps or small potholes - a thoughtful design. However, I remember when visiting friends in the countryside last time, I had to slow down on uneven dirt roads to avoid damaging components. At 138mm, it's medium-low among sedans, suitable for highway use but perfectly adequate if you don't often go off-road. The Sylphy is known for being economical and practical, with this height also optimizing aerodynamic drag to help save fuel costs. Routine maintenance is simple, and the chassis gives no major issues.
