Is Honda City’s ground clearance sufficient for Pakistani roads?

With low ground clearance ~172 mm, Honda City often scrapes speed breakers and potholes, especially with a full load. How does it compare to other sedans, and is there a way to increase clearance without affecting performance?

With a ground clearance of around 172 mm, the Honda City can struggle with speed breakers, potholes, and rough roads, especially when carrying a full load. This clearance is relatively low compared to other sedans in its class, such as the Toyota Corolla, which generally has better clearance. While it’s sufficient for urban driving, off-road o r rural conditions in Pakistan may present challenges. To address this, some owners upgrade their suspension o r change their tires to increase ground clearance slightly without compromising the car’s performance o r stability. However, significant modifications may impact the ride quality and handling of the vehicle.
