Be reassured, my friends, it will get out of its own way while in "Eco" and never got spooked by open garages or branches. Yet.
Very smooth operator, higher profile tires would be a better match to the soft suspensions but that's just about my main critic of the thing. Neat idea: flaps to cover the footwell space when in full cargo mode.
6.1 l/100 km so far on Day 5, and I'm not feathering it.
For the life of me, I do not get this whole hard on OEMs have with putting low profile tires aimed at Joe Regular car public, especially for the older crowd. Expensive to buy, ride rough, don't handle pot holes well. Its not like 60+ crowd needs 40 profile tires for when they take their Crown to the odd track day. Its a good looking car though.....
I think it's purely for esthetics. The pedestrian crash regs require a taller hood, so they put on bigger wheels to keep everything proportional.
It's dumb. This with 18's or 19's would be so much smoother. And the handling would barely be impacted.
To be fair, I'm shocked at how well my BZ4X rides on 20s.
Also, these big wheels have larger aspect ratios than sports tires, so you still have a good sized sidewall and not just a tiny O-ring
Seems to be the norm on most higher trim/luxury vehicles all get similar sized rims and tires.
Interesting the idea of using it to raise the higher for safety regs.
The proportional side of it makes sense, these vehicles are all getting so big that it would look weird to have even 17's on most vehicles nowadays.
That being said, smaller rims and tires means lower cost for the manufacturers, and maybe lower MSRPs.
What is really curious is the massive push for the best fuel efficiency and yet if they put smaller rim&tires on their vehicles it would likely give them some detectable gains in that. Instead they pay more for the bigger ones and fit on a larger starter and other bits for the stupid start stop systems.
Have to say this vehicle is probably one of the best looking "non-off-road" styled CUV on the market.
That's because it looks like a wagon!! Wagon > CUV

This is a neat little detail, helping your cargo stay flat and not fall into the footwell:
