Definition from
autoevolution:
Ground clearance is the measurement from the lowest-hanging point under a vehicle (usually a differential, part of the suspension or the exhaust system) towards the ground. A high ground clearance allows a vehicle to drive more easily off-road or through heavy snow without damaging the underbody.
Example sentences:
The decks are also designed with a shallow breakover angle. This allows us to load cars with low ground clearance such as race or rally cars. (Locargo)
It is important for 4x4s and other off-road vehicles to have sufficient ground clearance when being driven off the beaten track. Irregular or unpredictable terrain can damage the underside of the car if the ground clearance is too low. Many off-roaders are fitted with underbody protection as a result. (Parker's)
Aside from the high approach and departure angles and ground clearance, the H2 was an early showcase of brake-based four-wheel traction control and variable throttle progression, in addition to the more common locking center and rear differentials. (cars.com)

Definition from
Auto Forum:
Garda la sol este distanta de la pamant pana la cel mai jos punct al caroseriei.
Example sentences:
Garda la sol se masoara de la nivel zero (pamant) pana la cel mai jos punct de contact al sasiului (eu zic ca scutul motor ar fi acesta). (Auto Forum)
Masina are putin peste 20cm garda la sol, mai inalta cu 2-3cm decat suratele din Franta, iar scutul este metalic, si nu doar de forma. (Auto Forum)
Cu o garda la sol de 14 cm, Kangoo 4x4 beneficiaza de protectii laterale suplimentare. (Site of the Romanian journal "Gandul")

garda la sol, distanta minima fata de sol
Definitie Wikipedia
Ride height (ground clearance or simply clearance) is the amount of space between the base of an automobile tire and the underside of the chassis; or, more properly, to the shortest distance between a flat, level surface, and any part of a vehicle other than those parts designed to contact the ground (such as tires, tracks, skis, etc.). Ground clearance is measured with standard vehicle equipment, and for cars, is usually given with no cargo or passengers.

Definition from
rhc.ro:
Garda la sol reprezinta inaltimea sasiului fata de suprafata de rulare, in conditia in care automodelul este echipat complet, gata de rulare (RTR, inclusiv combustibil).
Example sentences:
Cand masina vine echipata cu suspensia pneumatica, garda la sol este variabila intre anumite valori: minim 180 milimetri si pana la 240 mm in modul cel mai ridicat. (Site-ul Audi)
Astfel, masina poate fi achizitionata cu suspensii cu arcuri mai mici, distanta fata de sol fiind astfel redusa, sau suspensii cu sistemul ABT Level Control, prin care distanta fata de sol poate fi controlata cu ajutorul unui buton, in functie de terenul pe care masina circula. (StiriAuto.ro)
