What is the wheelbase of the Bora?

The distance between the center lines of the left and right rear wheels of the Bora is 1525mm. Introduction to Wheelbase: Wheelbase refers to the distance between the center lines of the wheel tracks left by the wheels on the vehicle's support plane (generally the ground). If the axle has dual wheels at both ends, the wheelbase is the distance between the center planes of the dual wheels. Generally speaking, the wider the wheelbase, the higher the driving comfort. Function of Wheelbase: Generally, a wider wheelbase provides higher driving comfort and better stability. When the vehicle tilts laterally, the outer wheels can provide better support. The vehicle's roll angle in corners is smaller, and the limit of the outer wheels appears later. However, some domestic cars lack power steering, and if the front wheelbase is too wide, the steering wheel may feel very "heavy," affecting driving comfort. Additionally, wheelbase also affects the vehicle's overall width, weight, and safety.
I've always been fascinated by car specifications. The wheelbase of the Volkswagen Bora is typically around 2530 millimeters, which is roughly 2.53 meters. The wheelbase refers to the distance between the center points of the left and right wheels, and this value directly affects the car's handling. In my experience, the Bora's setup makes it particularly stable when cornering, with minimal risk of skidding or swaying. In fact, the wheelbase is also related to the suspension system—for example, the design of the front suspension can optimize weight distribution and enhance comfort. Having compared different models, I've found that wheelbases generally vary between 2500-2600mm, and the Bora's 2530mm strikes a perfect balance between family-friendly space and driving enjoyment. If you frequently drive on highways or mountain roads, a wider wheelbase can reduce the risk of body roll. In short, understanding this measurement is very helpful for maintenance tasks like tire replacement, helping to avoid issues caused by deviations.
