What is the maximum wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz G63?
1 Answers
According to official specifications, the maximum wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz G63 is 700mm. It commonly features tire specifications of 295/40R22, a vehicle height of 1979mm, and is configured as a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. Maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, sedans have a maximum wading depth not exceeding 300mm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water, though it's advisable not to exceed 500mm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 700mm, the Audi A4 at 320mm, the Volkswagen Sagitar at 700mm, the Land Rover Range Rover at 900mm, the Jeep Compass at 800mm, and the Toyota Highlander at 455mm. SUVs typically exhibit higher wading depths compared to sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures based on water depth and vehicle characteristics, as detailed below: When water reaches the exhaust pipe level, the situation remains safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the internal pressure can expel it. As long as the engine isn't turned off in the water, backflow into the vehicle won't occur. When water reaches the door sill height, it becomes hazardous. Most electrical circuits, components, and sensors are located at the vehicle's base, risking circuit shorts that may damage critical electronics and prevent normal startup. When water reaches the air intake level, it's extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions may cause immediate engine stalling, resulting in permanent engine damage or complete failure.
