What is the turning radius of a car?
1 Answers
The turning radius of a sedan is generally around 12 meters. Here is an introduction to the minimum turning radius: 1. Minimum turning radius: 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 is steering at the lowest stable speed. 2. Representative capability: The minimum turning radius largely characterizes the car's ability to pass through narrow and curved areas or bypass insurmountable obstacles. The smaller the turning radius, the better the car's maneuverability. 3. Wheelbase determines the radius: 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.
