What is the maximum wading depth of the Lavida Plus?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Lavida Plus is 30 cm. Common tire specifications include 205/55R16 and 195/65R15, with a body length of 4670 mm. The car is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission or a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a car can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 30 cm, while SUVs can handle deeper water, though it is best 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, different measures should be taken depending on the water 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 located at the bottom, which could lead to short circuits, damage critical electrical components, and prevent the car 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.
