What is the wading depth of a Subaru?
2 Answers
Subaru's wading depth is 600mm. Here is some relevant information about Subaru: 1. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine that can deliver a maximum peak power of 177kw, with torque starting from 2400rpm and maintaining a peak of 350Nm up to 3600rpm. 2. Exterior: The hood features more muscular bulges, and the traditional air intake on the hood, which was unique to turbocharged models, has been replaced by decorative strips on both sides of the bumper. The increasingly popular daytime running lights are not included in the new Forester's headlight design, while LED position lights cater to consumer preferences.
I've been driving a Subaru Forester for several years. The official wading depth is around 500mm, which is about half a meter. However, in actual use, you need to be careful not to exceed the center height of the wheels to prevent water from entering the exhaust or intake pipes. When wading, drive slowly and steadily to avoid splashing water with sudden acceleration, which could lead to engine damage from water ingress. After rain, I always avoid deep water areas—safety first. The Forester's all-wheel drive performs well in muddy water, but no vehicle should risk driving into fast currents. Water that's too deep can cause chassis rust or electrical shorts, so it's best to regularly check and clean the vehicle after wading.
