Front Ground Clearance

[Merkur720]

Seems a normal dimension to know...but I can't seem to find anything on the web on how much space is between the ground and front spoiler. Meaning -- does it scrape standard parking lot stops (see pic)?

Since we don't have 360 camera in the U.S., has parking been an issue for those who have theirs?

I don't have measurements but based on the guy from Korea that posted up the pics of scrapes and gouges on the front end, I would guess yes, it's going to scrape. My optima scrapes on some and I bet the stinger is lower than the optima.

I think with the front parking assistance I haven't as yet scrapt it

It doesn’t scrape. But there is one easy solution. Learn how to drive and park without driving aids or cameras and you should have no issue parking!

When i test drove a Stinger GT, the salesman wanted me to see for myself how the front and rear sensors, and cameras work in a parking lot, i remember he told me that the parking lot concrete stops are detected by front sensors, meaning of course, if the front in some places is going to scrap, the sensors, not sure which, but will alert the driver, but next time i visit my dealership, i will ask about this again.

Who said parking lot stops are standard...lol, over here in OZ the height can vary greatly from lot to lot. Just be aware of them, I have to double check as I was used to driving an SUV for 5 years, no worries with scrapes then.

Yes, that's a painful question here in Russia As Optima has 20mm increase in clearance in Russian version, I hope for some increase in that for Stinger as well, will see... On photos it looks not so low, 130mm is because of RWD I suppose.

This is one of the main reasons I want a 360 camera, for approaching curbs at the front of the car but also the side so I don't scrape up the wheels.

No issues here. I've yet to scrape anything, either parking stops or steep, angled driveways. The forward sensor is pretty helpful and will warn you as you're pulling into a space, or out of a driveway. If it beeps as I'm pulling in, I just stay back a few inches, and if it beeps as I'm pulling out of a driveway, I just go super slow. So far, so good.
