Ground Clearance Issues
Hi all,
Just curious if any of you had any ground clearance issues with your TLX or TYPE S with driveways, speed bumps, roadkill, etc.? I forgot that I transitioned from an RDX TO TLX and hit some roadkill this afternoon. Fortunately, I don't see any damage to the TYPE S' front bumper, but something on the vehicle made contact with the roadkill because it shot out from under my car.
I am going to be more mindful of the lower ground clearance in winter as well. I would imagine that a lot of people have cracked front bumpers on ice chunks in the road.
I may spend the money to get some PPF on the front of the vehicle as well. That should help with some lower impacts I would think.

Yes, the front ground clearance is a bit of an issue. When I first had mine I had to adjust to certain things, like high curbs in parking lots, dips in roads. Some scrapes on the underside of the front splitter but no real damage. I came out of an Accord and this was an issue, not just from an SUV.

My driveway has a negative slope so when I used to back out of it, I would scrape the bottom of my car unless I turned while backing out.
I was determined for my next car to be an SUV where ground clearance would no longer be an issue so that's why I got the X3!

I have not encountered issues with any ground clearance with the TLX. The main issue that I can see may be how far out the lower front lip extends but I haven’t had any scraping with step inclines/declines.
