What is the maximum wading depth of a Land Rover Range Rover?
1 Answers
The maximum wading depth of a vehicle is measured based on the position of the air intake. Below are the details: Measured by the position of the air intake: For most compact and small cars with low ground clearance, the position of the air intake serves as the benchmark when driving through waterlogged roads. The function of the air intake is to draw in air. If the water depth exceeds the height of the air intake, a large amount of water will be sucked into the engine compartment, which can severely compromise the safety of the vehicle. The air intake of most cars is located under the hood. Generally, the height of the engine air intake represents the vehicle's maximum wading depth. If the water level exceeds this limit, the vehicle should not proceed further. Preventing water from entering the engine: When driving in deep water, the vehicle's movement can cause high splashes. Therefore, if the water depth exceeds two-thirds of the wheel height, water may enter the cabin. If the water depth exceeds the front bumper or approaches the front grille, it can directly lead to water entering the engine, causing damage to the vehicle.
