The minimum ground clearance of the Xingyue L is 168mm. The minimum ground clearance of the Xingyue L refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance of the Xingyue L improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Xingyue L is a compact SUV under Geely Auto. The length, width, and height of the Xingyue L are 4770mm, 1895mm, and 1689mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2845mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the ground clearance of the Xingyue L is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Xingyue L's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and road conditions. For urban areas with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. If the vehicle will frequently travel to remote areas or regions with poor road conditions, a higher ground clearance may be preferred to avoid damage to the undercarriage.

The official minimum ground clearance for the Xingyue L is 210mm, measured under unladen conditions. In actual use, the chassis height is affected by load—for example, when fully loaded with luggage or passengers, the clearance will noticeably decrease. I always pay extra attention to this while driving, especially when crossing concrete speed bumps in villages, where I sometimes hear slight scraping sounds. It's advisable not to park too close to curbs; for instance, those 15cm-high roadside edges can be mounted with difficulty but may easily scrape the front lip. Modifying the suspension to raise it can increase clearance to around 230mm, though this may affect the original tuning's handling stability.

As an owner who frequently drives on unpaved roads, I measured the ground clearance of the Xingyue L to be just over 200 mm when unloaded, which is slightly higher than many urban SUVs. Last week, I took it camping, and it handled muddy roads well even when fully loaded, but I had to approach large dirt slopes at an angle to prevent scraping the undercarriage. I installed underbody armor plates right after purchasing the car, as the lower edge of the engine compartment is the most vulnerable part. During routine maintenance, remember to regularly clear small stones from the tire mudguards, as accumulated debris can affect actual off-road capability.

How to Operate the Rearview Mirror Button?

Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts off the right ear of your reflection in the mirror. When adjusting the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. For the right rearview mirror, adjust the up and down positions to occupy about 2/3 of the mirror. Adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area.

What Are the Standard Dimensions of a Sedan?

Standard sedan dimensions are categorized into several levels. For family cars, the length typically ranges from 3800mm to 4300mm, width from 1600mm to 1800mm, and height from 1400mm to 1600mm. 1. Length: Length is the most influential parameter affecting a car's purpose, functionality, and ease of use. Therefore, vehicle classes are generally divided based on length. A longer body means more longitudinal usable space, which is obvious; however, an excessively long body can make turning and parking inconvenient. 2. Width: Width mainly affects passenger space and maneuverability. For passenger sedans, if three seats arranged side by side are required to provide a spacious feel (primarily sufficient shoulder room), the width generally needs to reach 1.8 meters. In recent years, due to increased safety requirements, the thickness of door panels has increased, leading to a general increase in vehicle width. 3. Height: Vehicle height directly impacts the center of gravity (handling) and interior space. Most sedans have a height below 1.5 meters, significantly lower than the natural sitting height of a human, primarily to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and ensure stability during high-speed turns to prevent rollovers. 4. Wheelbase: Once the vehicle length is determined, the wheelbase becomes the most critical factor affecting passenger space, as the majority of two-box and three-box sedans position passenger seats between the front and rear axles. A longer wheelbase increases longitudinal space for passengers, directly benefiting legroom, which significantly impacts ride comfort.

Why does the new battery lose power when accelerating?

Here are the reasons why the new battery loses power when accelerating: 1. High starting current: The current is about three times that of normal driving. The combined resistance of the wiring, internal resistance of the battery, and the controller's field-effect transistors, along with high-current discharge, causes significant voltage fluctuations. 2. Charging duration: Battery self-discharge. Some users do not ride their electric vehicles immediately after fully charging them, leaving the vehicle unused for several days without timely recharging. 3. Damp wiring: If the electric vehicle is frequently used in rainy or snowy weather, damp wiring could also be a possible reason.

What are the steps for starting a car for the first time?

First, check around the car for any obstacles and inspect the tire pressure. Ensure safety before opening the door and entering the vehicle. Next, check the dashboard. Then, from left to right, inspect the left rearview mirror, and of course, also glance at the dashboard to check the fuel level and whether the headlights are on. After that, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left turn signal, press down the clutch, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, and then slowly release the clutch to start the car while ensuring safety.

What does new energy vehicle quota or regular quota mean?

New energy vehicle quota refers to the eligibility to purchase new energy vehicles, while regular quota refers to the eligibility to purchase either fuel-powered vehicles or new energy vehicles. Regular quota has broader applicability: Entities and individuals holding regular quotas can purchase both conventional fuel-powered vehicles and new energy vehicles. However, those holding new energy vehicle quotas can only purchase new energy vehicles. Scope of new energy vehicles: New energy vehicle models eligible for purchase under the new energy quota are listed in the catalog issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. Currently, this includes only pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Some cities also allow the purchase of range-extended electric vehicles.

What are the techniques for reverse parking in an underground garage?

First, determine if the parking space is 'qualified'. When the front wheels pass the parking space, start turning the steering wheel to make the car move in the direction away from the parking space. Utilize the available width of the passage to tilt the car's position as much as possible. This allows the driver to observe the rear danger points of the vehicle through the rearview mirror. When a 'gap' between your car and the vehicles on both sides is visible in the right rearview mirror, you can adjust the steering wheel to modify the car's reversing trajectory and try to straighten it for parking.
