What is the maximum wading depth of the GAC Trumpchi GS8?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the GAC Trumpchi GS8 is 30 cm. Common tire specifications are 255/50R20, with body lengths of 4980mm and 5051mm. The vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. The body structure is available in 5-door 6-seat SUV and 5-door 7-seat SUV configurations. Maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 30 cm, while SUVs have a higher wading depth, though it is still advisable not to exceed 50 cm. Among common models, the Audi A4 has a maximum wading depth of 32 cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar 30 cm, the Land Rover Range Rover 90 cm, the Jeep Compass 48 cm, and the Highlander 45 cm. The maximum wading depth of SUVs is significantly higher than that of sedans. Generally, when a vehicle is wading through water, different measures should be taken by the owner depending on the water depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as outlined below: If the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is relatively safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside is sufficient to 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 height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly concentrated at the bottom of the vehicle, which could lead to circuit failures, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the vehicle from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the air intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions could cause the vehicle to stall immediately, resulting in permanent engine damage or rendering the engine unusable.
