Default Seat height - appreciate any help

Its probably been 10 years since I last owned an Audi (S4). I am getting the itch again - I will be back in the market for an A4 or A5 in 2019.

I'm not as young as I used to be, and found difficulty in getting in/out of very low seats. Tried to search online for the approximate height from the ground, to the flat bottom of the seat you put your butt in.

Short of heading to a dealer with a tape measure, can anybody do a quick measurement for me?

Do you think there is much difference in seat height between an A4 and A5?

Thanks for the help!

I measured my 2018 A4 P+ with Sport Pkg. which has a lowered suspension and sport seats. From the garage floor to the top of the seat’s side bolster is 21”. The flat bottom of the seat is 3” lower at 18”. I hope this helps.

I think it's waste of time to try and have others measure. Just go to the dealer and see what you think, in 2019, on the car you're interested in..

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I've got a 17 P+ on 18" and sport suspension...for what it's worth I'm 45 and have a nerve/immune condition that affects my leg strength which makes it hard for me to get in and out of cars sometimes. I tried getting in and out of the car like 20 times at the dealership just to make sure I could do it. Not a problem, or at least no more than any other car where it's doable. The Porsche was a big no when I tried it, but I think the seat bolster was the biggest problem, not the seat height.
