The Volkswagen CC Shooting Brake is a sporty sedan under the FAW-Volkswagen brand, equipped with Volkswagen's TSI turbocharged direct-injection engine and VR series naturally aspirated engines. Generally, the higher the ground clearance of the Volkswagen CC Shooting Brake, the better its off-road capability. However, if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Volkswagen CC Shooting Brake is a sporty sedan under the FAW-Volkswagen brand, a culmination of four years of dedicated research by Volkswagen's German design team. It retains an elegant silhouette while maintaining a mature, business-oriented texture. The dimensions of the Volkswagen CC Shooting Brake are 4869 mm in length, 1870 mm in width, and 1459 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2841 mm. Typically, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the Volkswagen CC Shooting Brake is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the vehicle's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice depends on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving on well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance may enhance stability and comfort. For frequent travel to remote areas or driving on rough terrain, a vehicle with higher ground clearance is advisable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage.

I see you're asking about the ground clearance of the Volkswagen CC Shooting Brake. According to official data, its minimum ground clearance is approximately 143mm, which is a standard height for urban vehicles. 143mm means you can easily pass over speed bumps or small potholes, but don't expect off-road performance—it's not an SUV. I've driven similar cars and found this height, combined with the suspension system, provides stable cornering without being bumpy. If you mostly drive on highways, it's sufficient; but if you plan to tackle rough terrain, you might scrape the undercarriage. I recommend measuring specific road conditions or installing a skid plate to prevent scratches. This figure is also related to tire pressure—low pressure can slightly reduce clearance, so regular checks and maintenance are necessary. In short, 143mm strikes a good balance between comfort and practicality, but you should be cautious on rough terrain.

Haha, I often help friends check out cars. I remember the ground clearance of the Volkswagen CC Shooting Brake is around 143mm. This height is relatively high for a sedan, reducing the risk of scraping the ground while driving. For example, in rainy conditions with water accumulation, 143mm depth is still passable, and shallow puddles are no problem. However, it might not be enough for dirt roads—I’ve had the awkward experience of scraping the undercarriage in rural areas. The car’s chassis design prioritizes urban comfort, and the higher ground clearance makes passengers sit more comfortably. It’s best to confirm related data in the manual, as different loads can affect the results. Normal driving isn’t a big issue, but avoid being too aggressive on steep slopes or speed bumps to prevent damaging components. For those who enjoy road trips, it’s advisable to pay extra attention to the wheels’ condition, as ground clearance affects overall performance.

Why Doesn't Volkswagen Use Naturally Aspirated Engines?

Volkswagen does not have a 2.4-liter displacement, which is commonly used in naturally aspirated mid-size cars. Volkswagen has already made significant breakthroughs in turbocharged engines, so there is no need to develop new engines. Naturally Aspirated: This refers to an engine that relies on the air pressure generated by the downward movement of the piston, without using a supercharger, allowing atmospheric pressure to directly force air into the engine's combustion chamber. Advantages: Smooth power output, quick response, wide usable RPM range. Oil and coolant temperatures can be maintained within an optimal range for engine operation, resulting in longer engine life. Simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance. Disadvantages: Naturally aspirated engines of the same displacement are weaker in power compared to engines equipped with superchargers.

What kind of paint is used on the white Volkswagen Lavida Start model?

For the Lavida model, the white color uses standard paint, while all other colors feature metallic paint. Definition of automobile colors: Automobile color (automobile-color) is one of the styling elements of a vehicle. It includes both the exterior paint color and the colors of various interior materials. When the interior environment and exterior appearance harmonize with the surrounding colors, it creates an aesthetically pleasing experience for passengers and pedestrians. Automobile colors and safety: The concept of advancing and receding colors. For example, when red, blue, and green cars maintain equal distance from an observer, red and yellow cars appear closer while blue and green cars seem farther away. Hence, red and yellow are called advancing colors, while blue and green are receding colors. Advancing colors generally have better visibility.

What are the faults caused by the throttle of Changhe Furuida?

Changhe Furuida throttle may cause faults such as black smoke from the exhaust pipe and excessive gasoline consumption. Definition of throttle: The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. Classification of throttle: There are two types of throttles: the traditional cable type and the electronic throttle. The traditional engine throttle control mechanism works through a cable (soft steel wire) or a rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other end connected to the throttle linkage plate. The electronic throttle mainly uses a throttle position sensor to control the opening angle of the throttle according to the energy required by the engine, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.

How many types of automatic transmissions does the Skoda Octavia 1.8T have?

There are 2 types. The 1.6L and 2.0L models use a 6-speed Tiptronic 09G automatic transmission; the 1.4TSI and 1.8TSI models use a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. Manual transmission: A manual transmission, also known as a mechanical gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever (commonly known as the "gear stick") to change the gear engagement positions inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. Engine physical characteristics: The physical characteristics of an engine determine the necessity of a transmission. Firstly, any engine has its peak RPM; secondly, the engine's maximum power and maximum torque occur within a specific RPM range.

What is the height of the Langdong's air intake?

The height of the Langdong's air intake is 30 centimeters. The air intake height is the maximum wading depth: The height of the air intake is the most important indicator of a vehicle's wading depth because once water enters the air intake, it can cause the engine to stall. In severe cases, water can be sucked into the engine, causing permanent damage. Therefore, if the water level reaches this point, you must not continue driving. Safe wading depth: The air intake height depends on the vehicle model and is usually located between the upper edge of the bumper and the upper edge of the fender. The safe wading depth for most vehicles is limited to not exceeding the center of the wheel hub, which is approximately 25-30 centimeters. Minimum ground clearance: The design of the minimum ground clearance must consider the passability when loading and unloading during transportation, as well as the possibility of avoiding contact with the edges of sidewalks when the car is parked close to them.
