Ground clearance?

So I know the RDX is no F250 but it is a little higher off the ground than a car. Does anyone know what the ground clearance is? Can you drive it up on a standard curb without ripping up the front valance or catching something underneath or bottoming out?

Ground clearance is actually very good for this class of vehicle - 8.1 inches.

wow! 8.1 inches for this class is rather good, the jeep cherokee trailhawk has IIRC only 9 inches of ground clearance, same as the subaru forester.

I found out that the RDX was very good for driving in the snow (better than AWD sedan). Therefore I assume that the ground clearance is adequate for that purpose.
Yes, I have accidentally driven over regular curbs without any problems.
