Approach angle

The approach angle is the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and the plane cut to the outer edge (static load) of the front tire. Any rigid parts fixed to the vehicle in front of the front axle must not be below this plane.

When people approach the corner, people often bundle it with the off-road vehicle, because on the off-road vehicle, its passability is more concerned about all of its performance. What is the close relationship between the proximity angle and passing sex? Since the off-road vehicle has a high minimum ground clearance, the greater the approach angle, the stronger its ability to pass. For example, the Hummer's ground clearance is as high as 11.5 inches, giving it an approach angle of 51 degrees. This, coupled with strong power support, is the reason for its decades-long drive to the battlefield. Other SUV manufacturers are also constantly improving the body, increasing the angle of approach, and further improve the car's passing performance.

Is the proximity angle not important to the car? The answer is equally important. Because cars cannot always be driven on roads with good road conditions, they also need to have a certain ability to control if they encounter potholes. In this respect, the Citroen c5 is doing a better job. The third-generation hydraulic suspension system it uses can intelligently adjust the height of the vehicle body according to the road quality and driving speed. When the vehicle speed exceeds 110km/h, the vehicle will automatically reduce the front suspension height by 15mm and the rear suspension height by 11mm on the basis of the normal driving height; when the vehicle speed is lower than 60km/h, the whole vehicle will rise by 20mm on the conventional basis. To accommodate the pit roads that may be encountered. The approach angle of the C5 can be changed at any time with changing road conditions. It is like riding a wild wild horse on the boundless grassland. The horse can freely adjust its own balance according to the conditions of the grassland, and the owner can enjoy the infinite prairie scenery. For those mini vehicles, such as Alto (close to 28 degrees) and Big Dipper (26 degrees near corner), they have a harder time for roads and can barely pass. If the road is bad, they can only sit still.

Therefore, it is not difficult for us to draw the following conclusion: The larger the approach angle, the less likely the car accident occurs when the car is ferrying on and off the ship or when driving off-road, and the better the car's passing performance is.
