The RADIUS OF TURNING CIRCLE refers to the distance from the steering center to the contact point of the front outer steering wheel with the ground during the vehicle's movement. The turning radius when the steering wheel is turned to the extreme position is the minimum turning radius. When the steering wheel is turned to the extreme position, the distance from the steering center to the center of the ground contact point of the front outer steering wheel is called the minimum turning radius, which reflects the vehicle's ability to pass through roads with the smallest curvature radius and to turn around on narrow roads. The turning radius directly affects the maneuverability of the vehicle. The smaller the turning radius, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass through narrow and curved areas or to bypass insurmountable obstacles, and the more flexible it is. The turning radius is directly related to the wheelbase, track width, and the extreme turning angle of the steering wheels of the vehicle. The longer the wheelbase and the wider the track width, the larger the turning radius; the larger the extreme turning angle of the steering wheels, the smaller the turning radius.
