What is the maximum wading depth of the Mazda CX-5?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Mazda CX-5 is 50 cm. Common tire specifications include 225/65R17 and 225/55R19, with a vehicle height of 1685 mm, a curb weight of 1545-1677 kg, and a five-door, five-seat SUV configuration. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, sedans have a maximum wading depth of no more than 30 cm, while SUVs can handle deeper water but should still not 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 outperform sedans in terms of wading depth. Generally, depending on the water depth and the vehicle's specifications, drivers should take different measures as follows: If the water reaches the exhaust pipe height, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the internal pressure is sufficient to expel it. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, no water will flow back into the vehicle. If the water reaches the door frame height, it becomes more dangerous. Most of the vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are located at the bottom, increasing the risk of short circuits that could damage critical electrical components and prevent the car from starting. If the water reaches the air intake height, it is extremely dangerous. Driving into such conditions could cause the engine to stall immediately, leading to permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.
