What is the maximum wading depth of the Hyundai ix35?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Hyundai ix35 is 60 cm. Common tire specifications include 225/55R18 and 225/60R17, with a body length of 4500 mm, a vehicle weight of 1407-1430 kg, and it is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The 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 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. SUVs clearly surpass sedans in maximum wading depth. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the water depth and the vehicle's specifications, 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 located at the bottom, 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 can cause the engine to stall immediately, leading to permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.
