Ground clearance is the distance from the lowest point in the center of the vehicle body to the ground. However, the manufacturer Toyota RAV4 measures the ground clearance as it is convenient for him. This means that the distance from the shock absorbers, engine oil pan or muffler to the tarmac may be less than the stated ground clearance.
An interesting point: car buyers pay special attention to ground clearance, because in our country good ground clearance is a necessity, it will save you from headaches when parking to curbs.
The ground clearance of Toyota RAV4 ranges from 150 to 210 mm. But be careful when leaving on vacation or returning with purchases: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance.
If desired, the clearance of any car can be increased using spacers under the shock absorbers. The car will get higher. However, it will lose its former stability at high speeds and will lose a lot in maneuverability. The ground clearance can be reduced, for this, as a rule, it is enough to replace the standard shock absorbers with tuning ones: the handling and stability will immediately please you.
