Where in the Chassis are you measuring to for 15.43", just curious as I usually measure to the pinch welds behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels. Measuring on the actual body can produce mixed results due to fitment.

I ain't measuring, I'm quoting the workshop manual. Too lazy to actually go & measure (and mine's got the Dynamic pack, so it's lower anyway)

OK, this is a bit bonkers:

Ride height is measured from the centre of the wheel to the apex of the wheel arch, through the wheel centre line.
Durrrrr, wot? So, it appears that "ride height" has nothing to do with ground clearance.

So, sorry, jagxk2008, the measurements I gave you are not what you need. I did some googling, and found this:

GROUND CLEARANCE: 3.9", 99 mm

However, the same source gives the same clearance for an XK, which seems wrong. I've also found it quoted as 100mm. As I said, I can't just measure mine, because mine is not standard.

Yes - it's 100mm (dimension 5 below) for the 2010MY:



VW (Gross Vehicle Weight) = the maximum permissible weight of the vehicle, including all passengers and load.
