What is the maximum wading depth of the Hongqi H5?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Hongqi H5 is 15 cm. Common tire specifications include 225/45R19 and 225/55R17, with a body length of 4945 mm. The car is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, featuring a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure. 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 30 cm, while SUVs have a higher maximum wading depth, though it is still advisable not to exceed 50 cm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30 cm, the Audi A4 has 32 cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 30 cm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 90 cm, the Jeep Compass has 48 cm, and the Highlander has 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 depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as follows: 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 it. 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, which may lead to circuit disconnection, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the car from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions may cause the vehicle to stall immediately, resulting in permanent engine damage or rendering it unusable.
