Does the Low Height of the Hyundai Sonata Lead to Frequent Undercarriage Scraping on Speed Breakers?

The Sonata has a height of approximately 1,445 mm and a ground clearance of 155 mm, which is relatively low. On Pakistani roads with high o r irregularly shaped speed bumps, many drivers have reported scraping issues. How significant is this problem, especially when the car is fully loaded with passengers o r luggage?

The Sonatas ground clearance is approximately 155 mm, which is relatively low compared to some other vehicles in its class. In Pakistan, where speed breakers are often high and uneven, many owners have reported that the undercarriage scrapes when crossing these obstacles. This issue is particularly noticeable when the vehicle is fully loaded o r when the suspension is not properly maintained.

Recommendation:
Owners should approach speed breakers at an angle and at reduced speeds to minimize the risk of scraping. Regular maintenance of the suspension system is also crucial to ensure optimal performance.
