rijhoogte
Rijhoogte (commonly called ride height or ground clearance in English) is the vertical distance between a vehicle's chassis or lowest structural point and the road surface. It is a fundamental vehicle parameter that influences handling, comfort, aerodynamic behavior and the ability to traverse uneven terrain.
Rijhoogte can be described as static (measured with the vehicle unloaded) or dynamic (varying under acceleration,
Lower rijhoogte typically improves cornering stability and reduces aerodynamic drag by lowering the center of gravity,
Modern vehicles may use ride-height sensors linked to electronic control units to maintain a set rijhoogte
