What is the maximum wading depth of the Volkswagen Bora?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Volkswagen Bora is 150mm. Common tire specifications include 205/55R16 and 195/65R15, with a body length of 4663mm, a curb weight of 1240-1320kg, and it is a four-door sedan. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a car can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth of sedans does not exceed 30cm, while SUVs have a higher wading depth, but it is still best not to exceed 50cm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30cm, the Audi A4 has 32cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 30cm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 90cm, the Jeep Compass has 48cm, and the Highlander has 45cm. The maximum wading depth of SUVs is significantly higher than that of sedans. Generally, when a vehicle is wading, different measures should be taken depending on the water 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 can 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 located at the bottom, which may lead to circuit failures, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the car from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the air intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such water can cause the engine to stall immediately, leading to permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.
