What is the wading depth of the all-new 2020 Sagitar?

[ConnorLee]

The maximum wading depth of the Sagitar is 70 cm, while the safe wading depth is 31 cm. Additional information: Advantages of the Sagitar: 1. Interior materials: Although the Sagitar is not positioned as a high-end model, the dashboard is still wrapped in soft materials, giving it a sense of premium quality. 2. Spacious seating: For a passenger who is 180 cm tall, the front headroom exceeds three fingers, while the rear legroom is about two fists. The rear headroom is slightly cramped, measuring only about two fingers. Car enthusiasts have noted that this level of space is sufficient for family use. 3. Practical trunk: The trunk has a standard capacity of 510L, which is ample for household needs. Additionally, the rear seats can be folded down proportionally using the handles inside the trunk, enhancing convenience. Furthermore, the rear armrest area can be connected to the trunk, further improving practicality.

As a compact sedan, the 2020 Sagitar typically has a safe wading depth of around 30 cm at most. When driving this type of car, I pay special attention to the height of the air intake near the wheel axle. If the water depth exceeds half the wheel height (approximately 25-30 cm), water can easily enter the engine, causing damage or stalling. In practical use, I've tested it during heavy rain—maintaining a low speed through shallow water is fine, but deep water poses too much risk. During wading, the engine compartment sealing and electrical systems are critical. It's advisable not to stomp on the accelerator to avoid creating splashes. In short, wading depth isn't the only factor; it's best to detour or wait for the water to recede when encountering flooded roads. Regular maintenance checks on tires and the air intake can prevent issues beforehand.

Regarding wading depth, the official recommendation for the 2020 Sagitar is a maximum of 30 cm, based on its chassis and exhaust design. From personal experience, driving through deep water can lead to water being sucked into the engine, causing issues with spark plugs or sensors, which can be costly to repair. When wading, maintain a slow and steady speed, not exceeding 5-10 km/h, as higher speeds can cause water to splash into the intake system. Safety first—turn on emergency lights during floods and seek higher ground to park. This model has limited utility in urban flood zones but performs adequately in regular rainy conditions. Remember to check brake discs for rust after rain and maintain intake components regularly.

I've driven the 2020 Sagitar, and a water depth of around 30 cm is pretty much the limit—any deeper and the risk increases significantly. During that rainy season outing, I carefully drove through water about 20 cm deep at low speed, and no water entered the cabin. Key points about wading include the relatively low position of the air intake, which makes it easier for water to be sucked into the engine and cause damage; water on the fan blades could also lead to a short circuit. Prevention is always more important than repairs—don’t push your luck when encountering flooded roads, and opt for an alternate route instead. In this aspect, the Sagitar is similar to other sedans like the Corolla, but SUVs perform better. Overall, safe wading depends on cautious driving.
