What is the minimum ground clearance of the Volkswagen Teramont?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Volkswagen Teramont is 160mm, which reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. Taking the 2020 Volkswagen Teramont as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large SUV category with body dimensions of: length 5039mm, width 1989mm, height 1773mm, wheelbase of 2980mm, fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, and curb weight of 2005kg. The 2020 Volkswagen Teramont features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 186PS, maximum power of 137kW, maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Teramont for a while now, with a minimum ground clearance of about 170mm, which is considered medium-high among urban SUVs. I find it quite suitable for daily commuting and occasional countryside road trips, unlike smaller cars that are more prone to scraping the undercarriage. The vehicle's ground clearance is influenced by many factors, such as tire pressure and load conditions. If you're traveling with the whole family and fully loaded with luggage, the clearance might decrease by a few millimeters. In actual driving, this clearance allows the car to handle small potholes or uneven roads more comfortably and prevents water from entering in flooded areas. To maintain good clearance, I recommend regularly checking tire conditions and undercarriage protection. If you ever consider modifications to increase the ground clearance, that's also an option. Overall, the Teramont's design strikes a good balance between daily comfort and light off-road capability, making it quite practical.
