1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Highlander is 455mm. Common tire specifications include 235/55R20, 235/65R18, and 235/55R20. The vehicle height is either 1750mm or 1715mm, with a curb weight ranging between 1930-2115kg. It is available in two models: a 5-door 7-seat SUV and a 5-door 5-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, sedans have a maximum wading depth of no more than 300mm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water, though it is still 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 Lavida Plus 300mm. SUVs generally have a higher wading depth than sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures based on the water depth and the vehicle's characteristics, as follows: If the water reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, 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 height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly located at the bottom, which could lead to circuit failure, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the vehicle from starting. If the water reaches the height of the air intake, 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.
