What is the maximum wading depth of the Wuling Hongguang Mini?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Wuling Hongguang Mini is 12.5 cm. Common tire specifications are 145/70R12, with a body length of 2917mm or 2920mm, and a vehicle weight ranging from 665kg to 705kg. It is a 3-door, 4-seat hatchback. 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 cm, while SUVs have a higher wading depth, though it is best not to exceed 50 cm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30 cm, the Audi A4 has 32 cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 30 cm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 90 cm, the Jeep Compass has 48 cm, and the Highlander has 45 cm. SUVs clearly surpass sedans in maximum wading depth. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures based on the water depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as outlined below: If the wading depth reaches the exhaust pipe height, it is relatively safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside is sufficient to expel it. 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 door frame height, it becomes more dangerous. Most of the vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are located at the bottom, which may lead to short circuits and damage critical electrical components, preventing the car from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the air intake height, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions may cause the engine to stall immediately, resulting in permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.
