What is the minimum turning radius of the IZOA?

[KimberlyLynn]

The minimum turning radius of the IZOA is only 5.2m. The minimum turning radius refers to the radius of the trajectory circle rolled by the center of the outer steering wheel on the supporting plane when the steering wheel is turned to its limit position and the car turns at the lowest stable speed. To a large extent, it characterizes the car's ability to pass through narrow curved areas or bypass insurmountable obstacles. The smaller the turning radius, the better the car's maneuverability. When a car turns, the minimum distance from the steering center to the trajectory of the outer steering wheel (sometimes also to the outer edge of the front fender) is the minimum turning radius. The minimum turning radius indicates the car's ability to pass through narrow curved areas or bypass obstacles. The smaller the turning radius, the better the car's maneuverability. To ensure that the wheels roll purely without sliding during steering, the size of the minimum turning radius is determined by the vehicle's wheelbase. A longer wheelbase results in a larger turning radius, but vehicles with a longer wheelbase have better driving smoothness.

I've checked the official data of the IZOA, and its minimum turning radius is approximately 5.2 meters. This figure is quite advantageous among SUVs in the same class. For instance, when making a U-turn on a two-way single-lane road, you can basically complete it in one go. Last time when I drove my friend's IZOA in an old residential area, those winding roads posed no challenge at all. A smaller turning radius is particularly friendly to beginners, making parallel parking a breeze with just a full turn of the steering wheel. Compared to sedans, although SUVs generally have a larger turning radius, the IZOA's clever rear-wheel steering design makes it more agile in actual driving than the numbers suggest.

Having actually experienced the Yize's cornering performance, the 5.2-meter minimum turning radius proves truly practical. When picking up and dropping off kids through crowded school gate areas daily, U-turns are exceptionally effortless. Once in a mall's spiral parking garage with just 5.5-meter curves, the Yize managed it in a single attempt. The steering system is intelligently tuned - light at low speeds yet firm at high speeds. Recommend controlling speed during rainy turns given the SUV's higher center of gravity. With just over 10-meter turning diameter, it requires half a turn less steering than many compact SUVs.

The official turning radius of the IZOA is marked as 5.2 meters, and actual measurements with chalk lines showed similar results. This has a significant impact on daily driving, especially for 90-degree turns and U-turns. I remember one time in an alley just 5.5 meters wide—while other cars had to reverse and adjust, the IZOA made the turn directly. The front suspension design allows for a larger steering angle, and the rear track has also been optimized. Although its turning radius is slightly larger than that of microcars, it's much more agile than 7-seat SUVs like the Highlander.
