What is the typical height of a sedan?
1 Answers
The height of a sedan typically ranges between 1400mm and 1600mm. The height of a sedan is defined as the distance between the vehicle's supporting plane and the horizontal plane that touches the highest protruding part of the vehicle. Standards for measuring vehicle height: If the vehicle has a roof rack, the vehicle height includes the height of the roof rack but excludes the antenna height. The measurement should be taken when the tires are at standard pressure, and the vehicle is unloaded but operational. Vehicles equipped with adjustable suspensions, such as air suspension, can alter their height by adjusting the suspension settings. Impact of vehicle height on handling: Vehicle height primarily affects the vehicle's center of gravity and interior space. A higher vehicle height raises the center of gravity, increasing the risk of rollover during high-speed cornering. Conversely, a lower vehicle height can compromise ground clearance and ride comfort. Other common vehicle dimension parameters: In addition to vehicle height, other common dimension parameters include vehicle length, vehicle width, and wheelbase. Vehicle length refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. Vehicle width refers to the distance between two parallel planes aligned with the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the fixed protruding parts on both sides (excluding mirrors, marker lights, position lights, turn signals, flexible mudguards, folding steps, anti-skid chains, and the part of the tire in contact with the ground). Wheelbase refers to the distance between two vertical lines passing through the centers of adjacent wheels on the same side of the vehicle and perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane.
