Does anybody knows about ground clearance ?

When I watch the videos, ground clearance seems sometimes high, sometimes not so much. It is very difficult to guess about it. I like this model, but I'd like a ground clearance similar to Subaru's Outback (8.8 inches), which was my previous SUV. Does anybody knows about it ?

No. But my impression at the Auto Show was that it was not especially high, like an Outback is. But it is an SUV, so I expect it will be higher than a sedan.

Thank you for your comment. I live in eastern Canada, Quebec province, and in the winter, there are often heavy packed snow. I will wait for the official specs, but I am afraid I will have to consider other brands. It is too bad, even if I have never seen a real one, I liked this model since the first time I see it on Internet. Thanks again.

Current RDX is 8.1 inches, so I expect it to be similar. It was already very competitive for the class (better than most except Subaru, but close overall).

Thank you for the precision. If it could be the same for the new model, I would be happy, even if it is a little less than Subaru. We will soon know about it !

Keep in mind the ground clearance could drop an inch or more as you add passengers and cargo.

Yes, almost as Subaru (8.8"). It is a good news.
