Do sedan buyers really care about ground clearance? The Outback sedan and S60 CC were not exactly big sales successes.
I'd say "it depends".
There's a few days a year (after snow) that my road is impassable with a normal sedan until the plow truck comes.
An Outback (or this Toyota) would easily make it through.
I don't really care...as I take a snow day if needed. But IQ MUST get to work...so it's a consideration at least.
