What is the suitable ground clearance for a car?
1 Answers
A ground clearance between 110mm and 130mm is generally considered suitable for a car. Ground clearance determines the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles, referring 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. It characterizes the car's capability to pass over obstacles like stones or tree stumps without collision. The impact of ground clearance is as follows: the greater the ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven terrain, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven terrain, but the lower the center of gravity, which can enhance stability.
