What is the minimum ground clearance of the Versailles?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Versailles is 193mm. Below is an introduction to the minimum ground clearance: Introduction to Minimum Ground Clearance: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. Different types of vehicles have varying data. Generally, the minimum ground clearance for cars ranges between 110mm and 150mm; for SUVs, it is typically between 200mm and 250mm; while sports cars usually have a minimum ground clearance below 100mm. Significance of Minimum Ground Clearance: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. It represents the vehicle's ability to overcome obstacles. A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability. Conversely, a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles or uneven terrain but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability.
The Versailles has a minimum ground clearance of around 150mm. When I first drove this car, I paid special attention to its chassis height because the road conditions in the city aren't great, often with potholes or speed bumps. The 150mm clearance gave me confidence when navigating such areas—no scraping the undercarriage, and it felt very secure to drive. I also noticed that tire size can slightly affect the actual clearance, so if you're getting new tires, it's best to stick with the factory-recommended size to maintain stability. For daily driving, this height makes it easier to reverse in and out of parking lots, reducing the risk of scraping the curb. Overall, this design balances everyday practicality and light off-roading, and I've hardly encountered any issues in my use. Just be mindful of speed when taking sharp turns at high speeds to prevent increased body roll.
