What is the maximum wading depth of the Range Rover?
1 Answers
According to official specifications, the Range Rover has a maximum wading depth of 900mm. Common tire specifications include 275/40R22, 235/65R19, and 255/55R20. The vehicle height measures 1869mm and 1868mm respectively, with body configurations available as either a 5-door 5-seat SUV or a 5-door 4-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, 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 Ford Everest at 800mm, the Jeep Compass at 800mm, and the Toyota Highlander at 455mm. SUVs typically exhibit higher wading depths than sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the water depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as detailed below: When water reaches the exhaust pipe level, the vehicle remains in a safe state. 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, no backflow will occur into the vehicle body. When water reaches the door frame level, the situation becomes hazardous. Most electrical circuits, electronic components, and sensors are located at the vehicle's base, risking short circuits that could damage critical electrical parts and prevent normal engine startup. When water reaches the air intake level, it poses extreme danger. Driving directly into such conditions may cause immediate engine stalling, resulting in permanent engine damage or complete failure.
