Can someone measure something for me on their Prius?

that's a loaded question.

 

Make your driveway a part of your test drive!

(I am amazed anyone lives somewhere smooth enough to lower a Prius. It is no-where near MS.)

My v is not as low as my Gen 2, though.

 

While I cannot comment to the 2016, I can tell you that taking a driveway or parking lot at speed will cause a scraping noise in my 2009; and most other cars that are not suv's. I have not had any damage to speak of except a few scrapes on the black strip under the front. Reduce your speed a little- and no problems in general. If it is a steeper drive, take the approach on an angle (in stead of straight in).

We are in the middle of a 2 day heavy rain so only quick measurement. At the middle of the front bumper lowest spot to ground it is about the 5.7 inches but at the other spot you mention between the wheel and the right side of the bumper was only a little over 5 inches, so less clearance there. That was a good observation by you to think of that. Actually, that right side is where I scrapped some rocks near a new hiking trail I went to. I'll get more accurate measurements when this rain stops. Those distances are probably affected by the type od wheel 15 inch or 17 inch and the inflation psi of those tires.

 

someone mentioned that the 15 and 17 have similar od because of low profile tyres?

 

What the heck is "Spoofee?"

My new Prius scrapes everywhere; every day.

(Look at the size of those folks on the left.)

 

No image, the gen3 is 5.7" the gen 4 is 4.9"

 

That is a massive difference

 

i thought it was only a half inch or something.

 

Depends on how much you weigh. And how many souls are on board....

 

agree, but that would affect either generation, unless the springs are lighter on gen 4.

 

you can find the real deal in the gen 4 intro stickies. someone actually measured it, and compared to gen 3.

 

is this whole thing a scam, you're not really interested in a prius, and are just schilling for spoof?

 

I have been wondering that myself. That and whether or not that is really your rabbit or if you borrowed one just to increase web traffic.

The distance between the center of your front wheel and the front of the car is 950mm -- 25mm more than last year, BTW.

 

We don't need no stinkin' Spoofee... Give is the Archie's!!
