What is the turning radius of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
1 Answers
The turning radius of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is 5.62m. When the steering wheel is turned to its limit position, the distance from the turning center to the ground contact center of the front outer steering wheel is called the minimum turning radius, which reflects the car's ability to pass through curved roads with the smallest radius of curvature and to make U-turns on narrow roads. The smaller the minimum turning radius, the better the car's maneuverability. The turning radius of a car is determined by factors such as the wheelbase, track width, and the maximum steering angle of the steering wheels. It should be carefully selected during design based on the car's type, purpose, road conditions, structural characteristics, and dimensions such as wheelbase. For safety reasons, off-road vehicles generally have a relatively large turning radius because their higher center of gravity makes them more prone to rollover accidents during sharp turns if the minimum turning radius is too small. Therefore, off-road vehicles are usually designed with a larger minimum turning radius. When turning, vehicles often encounter situations where they cannot complete the turn in one go or overshoot the turn. Several influencing factors include excessively narrow roads or large turning angles, insufficient turning radius design of the vehicle, and the driver's choice of turning path.
