Measurement request

Could someone please give me the measurement from the ground to the top of the seat bottom? (preferably with the seat at it's lowest position). Thank you in advance.

I'm sure you know exactly what you're asking for, but nobody else does. What is a seat bottom? What vehicle and trim? What tire size? Which seat? Why can't you measure this yourself?

G550. Seat bottom as in where you place your butt. Just trying to get an idea of difficult shorter people and children would have getting in.

I have a 2020 G 63 with 22 inch wheels. My wife is 5'2", and she doesn't have any problems at all getting in or out. My mother-in-law is 91, and she's also 5'2". She needs a little assistance (and a small step stool about 9" high), but she gets in and out without too much drama We also have a handful of grandkids (four to ten) that climb in and out like monkeys. LOL.

I'm not sure there's a meaningful way to associate a dimension with ease of access, but for what it's worth, the front edge of my seat is about 38" above ground level. My G550 is unmodified except for its tires that add 0.5" to OE. I have the seat set about 2" above its lowest travel. I'm 6'2", and I can just reach the seat without standing on the side rail. IMO, access would be much easier if MB had designed in grab handles on the A-pillars rather than those that exist over the doors.
