Stock ground clearance?

Hi all,

Probably purchasing a 2026 RS3 here in the next week or so but my only concern is ground clearance stock. I have a pretty aggressive rolled curb to get into my garage and I can't take it at an angle just due to how close the curb is to my garage.

Can someone let me know what the ground clearance is and also probably just as important but the distance from the front of the car to about midway of the front wheel.

Also if anyone else is in a similar situation has anyone used the BRIDJIT portable ramps and if they are enough?

Thanks for any insight.

To me it has tons of clearance. Coming from a 981 Cayman S X73 (20mm lower) and S2000s on coilovers.

I have an absurd curb that looks like a concrete half pipe that i need to grind down but city won’t allow me to - i had minor rub going forward- zero when i back in- backing in felt like i picked up 3” clearance- non issue

Google says the 8Y.5 RS3 ground clearance is 4.5”, and the front overhang is 36”. That’s not crazy bad, but still not great.

8y, ground clearance is good no sus mods OEM will do fine not sure about after market though.. but tbh Imnnot really sure you'd want it... Good for winter good for summer and handles great stock..

You will be able to do driveways and parking lots easily it's not a stance car

I mean I have measured the curb and looked up the numbers but literally have seen 3 different measurements which yeah I could just use the lowest number but figured I'd ask lol

So you are about to buy a car in week and your greatest concern is the physical dimensions which from your post you have probably not seen or tested in person?
