What is the maximum wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 is 600mm. Common tire specifications are 235/55R19, with a body length of 4764mm, 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 centimeters, while SUVs have a higher maximum wading depth, but it is still best not to exceed 50 centimeters. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30 centimeters, the Audi A4 has a maximum wading depth of 32 centimeters, the Volkswagen Sagitar has a maximum wading depth of 30 centimeters, the Land Rover Range Rover has a maximum wading depth of 90 centimeters, the Jeep Compass has a maximum wading depth of 48 centimeters, and the Highlander has a maximum wading depth of 45 centimeters. The maximum wading depth of SUVs is significantly higher than that of sedans. Generally, when a vehicle is wading through water, different measures should be taken by the owner depending on the 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 the water. 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 disconnection, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the car from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such a water depth could cause the vehicle to stall immediately, resulting in permanent damage to the engine or rendering it unusable.
