What is the maximum wading depth of the Nissan Patrol?
1 Answers
According to official specifications, the maximum wading depth of the Nissan Patrol is 710mm. Common tire specifications include 275/60R20 and 265/70R18, with a vehicle height of 1955mm, curb weight ranging from 2537-2588kg, configured as a 5-door 7-seat SUV. Maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely traverse. Generally, sedans have a maximum wading depth not exceeding 300mm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water but should ideally not exceed 500mm. Among common models: GAC Trumpchi GS8 has 700mm, Audi A4 has 320mm, Volkswagen Sagitar has 700mm, Land Rover Range Rover has 900mm, Jeep Compass has 800mm, and Highlander has 455mm. SUVs generally outperform sedans in wading capability. Vehicle owners should adopt different precautions based on water depth and vehicle specifications: When water reaches exhaust pipe level (safe condition): Exhaust pressure can expel water even if submerged. Avoid stalling in water to prevent backflow. When water reaches door sill level (hazardous): Electrical components/sensors concentrated in lower body may short-circuit, potentially causing permanent damage or failure to start. When water reaches air intake level (extremely dangerous): Immediate engine stall may occur upon entry, leading to irreversible engine damage or complete failure.
