CLA Ground clearance compared to C Class (Seems higher)
I was at the dealer today looking at CLA's (2025), and the front overhang plus the sides (Without Sport Package) seems to be a few inches higher than the C-class sedan. Can anyone verify that observation? How is the AWD system on Mercedes? I currently own Quattro and Xdrive. I heard the CLA is Frontbiased, but overall, will it be able to respond quickly in spirited snow driving? I will post again asking about the driver assist system (Lane centering) compared to the newer C-class sedan (Auto lane changes). My main question is what appears to be higher ground clearance as I often travel dirt or sometimes pitted off-road sections.

So, is AMG not going to lower the car? I know that AMG on a C class provides skirts that sit lower (No go for me). I posted basic Ground Clearance observations on the CLA versus the C class. Mercedes does not publish GC on all cars. Simple measurements and visuals make the CLA seem to be at least 1-2 inches higher off the ground. That would be a bonus for me in consideration of a purchase. I am only looking at standard non AMG cars.
