1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of Mengshi is 750mm. Common tire specifications are 37/12.5R16.5, the vehicle height is 1912mm, the total mass is 3480kg, and it is a 5-door 4-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a vehicle can pass through safely. Generally, the maximum wading depth of sedans does not exceed 300mm, while SUVs can handle deeper water, but it is best not to exceed 500mm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 700mm, the Audi A4 has 320mm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 700mm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 900mm, the Jeep Compass has 800mm, and the Toyota Highlander has 455mm. SUVs generally have higher wading depths than sedans. Generally, when a vehicle wades through water, depending on the depth and the vehicle's characteristics, the owner should take different measures as follows: If the wading depth reaches the exhaust pipe height, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside can expel the water. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, water will not flow back into the vehicle. If the wading depth reaches the door frame height, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly located at the bottom, which could lead to circuit failure, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the vehicle from starting. If the wading depth reaches the air intake height, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions may cause the engine to stall, leading to permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.
