What is the minimum ground clearance of the Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Volkswagen Magotan is 114mm. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. This measurement is used to indicate the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. Taking the 2020 Comfort model of the Volkswagen Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The 2020 Comfort model of the Volkswagen Magotan features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear 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.
Last time I went to the 4S store to check out the car, I specifically measured the ground clearance of the Magotan. The standard model has a minimum ground clearance of about 114mm when unloaded, roughly the height of one and a half smartphones placed vertically. You need to be extra careful when encountering construction roads or speed bumps. Last time I drove a friend's car to the suburbs, the exhaust pipe scraped the ground when going over a dirt slope, making a loud clanging noise that was really startling. Installing an engine guard plate will reduce the clearance by a few more millimeters. For friends who often drive on rough roads, I recommend switching to 215/60 R16 high-profile tires, which can improve the clearance by more than 1cm. Be especially cautious when passing through waterlogged sections on rainy days—if the water depth exceeds the center mark of the wheel hub, definitely don’t force your way through.
