Hi Mandy,

It sits about 20mm higher. Both Alison & I noticed it.
Someone wrote about an increased ride height/ground clearance that comes as part of the Heavy Duty Anti-Roll bars option. I seem to recall the person saying this from their non-UK brochure, due to different springs perhaps.

Cheers

It sits about 20mm higher. Both Alison & I noticed it.

I have that option too, and didn't know about a higher ride height being the case. It may have put me off ordering that particular option, but in reality I now love sitting high above the little range rover drivers and it does drive well.

 

[Tommy Gun]

I am pleased with the extra ground clearance. Must admit, I wasn't expecting it & thought it was only for non UK Cali's that ordered this option. Wonder why VW don't mention it in the UK brochure.
Anyway, it suits my wild offroad camping plans just fine
