What is the wading depth of the Emgrand GS?
2 Answers
The wading depth of the Emgrand GS is approximately 20 centimeters. Here are the relevant details: 1. Wading Depth: The maximum wading depth is one of the key indicators for evaluating a vehicle's off-road capability. It refers to the deepest water level the vehicle can safely pass through. 2. Judging Wading Depth: When the water depth is one-third of the tire height, the vehicle can pass safely without unnecessary damage if operated correctly. When the water depth exceeds half of the tire height, it may cause water to enter the vehicle. If the wading depth surpasses the bumper, extra caution is required to avoid water entering the engine.
I remember driving a Geely Emgrand GS before, which encountered quite a lot of water during the rainy season. Manufacturers usually don't officially disclose specific numbers for wading depth, but based on my experience, this car can handle about 30 cm of water at most. As an urban SUV, its chassis isn't designed for high off-road capability, and the air intake is located near the wheel arches. If the water level exceeds this point, it may lead to engine damage due to water ingestion. My advice is to always test the depth with a stick before crossing any waterlogged areas, avoid rushing through, and maintain a steady, slow speed to prevent water from splashing back. Another potential risk is the electrical system, which can short-circuit in deep water, leading to electronic failures. Therefore, it's best to park away from low-lying areas and always check the air filter and exhaust system for any residual moisture after heavy rain—safety first, after all.
