1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Highlander is 455mm. Common tire specifications include 235/55R20, 235/65R18, and 235/55R20. The vehicle height is either 1750mm or 1715mm, with a total weight ranging between 1930-2115kg. It is available in two models: a 5-door, 7-seat SUV and a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 300mm, while SUVs can handle deeper water, though it is still advisable 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 Lavida Plus has 300mm. SUVs generally have higher wading depths than sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as follows: When the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside can expel it. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, water will not flow back into the vehicle. When the wading depth reaches the height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly located at the bottom of the car, which may lead to circuit failure, damage to critical electrical components, and prevent the car from starting normally. When the wading depth reaches the height of the intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions can cause the vehicle to stall immediately, leading to permanent engine damage or rendering it unusable.
