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. It refers to the distance from the steering center to the contact point of the front outer steering wheel with the ground during the car's movement. When the steering wheel is turned to its limit position, the distance from the steering center to the grounding center of the front outer steering wheel is called the minimum turning radius. It 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 car's wheelbase, track width, and the maximum steering angle of the wheels. It should be properly selected during design based on the car's type, purpose, road conditions, structural characteristics, and dimensions such as wheelbase. For safety considerations, off-road vehicles generally have a relatively larger turning radius. This is because off-road vehicles have a higher center of gravity, and if the minimum turning radius is too small, they are prone to rollover accidents during sharp turns. Therefore, the minimum turning radius of off-road vehicles is usually designed to be larger. When a vehicle is turning, it often encounters situations where it cannot complete the turn in one go or oversteers. Several influencing factors include excessively narrow roads or large curvature, insufficient turning radius design of the vehicle, and the driver's choice of turning path.
