Last time I took my Volkswagen Variant on a mountain road trip and found its ground clearance really practical, around 145 millimeters. This height is sufficient for both urban commuting and light off-roading, allowing it to easily handle speed bumps and small potholes without worrying about scraping the undercarriage. As a station wagon, its design emphasizes passability, and the 145mm figure strikes just the right balance for daily driving. If you frequently drive on muddy roads or snow, it provides enough safety margin. After several years of using it myself, I've never encountered any undercarriage damage issues. Volkswagen has handled this detail well, maintaining comfort while boosting confidence. I recommend owners regularly check tire pressure to ensure stable clearance.
