Track measurements are diff for Sport?

In Canada,

DX, LX - Track - Front/Rear(mm) - 1492/1475
Sport - 1476/1459

Also, Ground Clearance for all trims(mm) - 150

What is the Track measurement?
Shouldn't the Sport have a lower ground clearance?

Confused.

Track measurement is the distance between the right and left centerlines of the tires. I'm guessing the base's track is wider to compensate for the 10mm narrower tires than the Sport.

Ground clearance is the measurement of whatever the lowest to the ground component from the underside of the car is. Like if the exhaust piping is the lowest, that's what they measure.

Ah, thanks for the reply. I was a little worried that some owners are scraping their lips on the Sport and assumed their ground clearance should be lower.
