2 Answers
The wading depth of the Great Wall Pao Off-Road Edition is approximately 80 millimeters. Below are specific details about the Great Wall Pao: 1. Background: The Great Wall Pao series is a flagship model under the Great Wall pickup truck lineup, making its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 16, 2019. It is a completely new product series, built on a new platform and produced at the new Chongqing factory, targeting the mainstream international market. 2. Design Philosophy: The Great Wall off-road pickup truck is not only a milestone in the development history of Great Wall pickup trucks but also a significant milestone in the development history of China's pickup truck industry. Starting from this point, Great Wall pickup trucks will officially enter the international large passenger pickup truck market, competing with mainstream international pickup truck brands, thereby reshaping the competitive landscape of the global pickup truck market, and ultimately achieving the vision of Great Wall pickup trucks becoming one of the world's top three pickup truck brands.
As an experienced off-road driver, the official wading depth for the Great Wall Pao (Cannon) off-road version is 700mm, meaning it's generally safe in water up to 70cm deep. In practice, having driven similar models, the key is to cross steadily at low speed—avoid sudden acceleration or braking, as water turbulence could rise above the air intake height. When off-roading, don't just rely on static depth measurements; muddy paths or fast currents can increase actual depth, so I always scout ahead and carry a stick to measure water depth. Additionally, the air intake position is critical—exceeding it risks water ingress and engine damage, which is costly to repair. For maintenance, I check seals and underbody waterproofing every six months to prevent rust. In short, 700mm is a solid figure, but caution is key—always inspect the vehicle promptly after water crossings.
