1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Land Rover Discovery 4 is 70 cm. Common tire specifications include 285/40R22, 255/55R20, and 275/45R21. The vehicle has a body length of 4956 mm, is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and features a 5-door, 7-seat SUV body structure. 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. The maximum wading depth of SUVs is significantly higher than that of sedans. 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 concentrated at the bottom of the car, which could lead to circuit failures, damage to critical electrical components, and prevent the car from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the intake pipe, it is extremely hazardous. Driving directly into such conditions can cause the vehicle to stall immediately, leading to permanent engine damage or rendering the engine unusable.
