1 Answers
According to official specifications, the maximum wading depth of the Volkswagen Tiguan L is 830mm. Common tire specifications include 235/55R18 and 235/50R19, with vehicle heights of 1673mm and 1677mm, and a curb weight ranging from 1665kg to 1840kg. It is classified as a midsize 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 320mm, the Volkswagen Sagitar 700mm, the Land Rover Range Rover 900mm, the Jeep Compass 800mm, and the Toyota Highlander 455mm. SUVs generally have 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: If the water reaches the exhaust pipe height, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside can expel it. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, water will not flow back into the vehicle. If the water reaches the door frame height, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly located at the bottom, risking short circuits and damage to critical electrical components, which may prevent the car from starting. If the water reaches the air intake height, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions may cause the engine to stall immediately, leading to permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.
