What is the wading depth of the Li ONE?

[OTalia]

The current maximum wading depth of the Li ONE reaches the wiper position. Below is relevant information about the Li ONE: 1. Configuration Parameters: The Li ONE is equipped with an extended-range hybrid system, consisting of a 1.2T engine and a new drive motor; the fuel tank capacity has been increased from 45L to 55L; it features Li Auto's self-developed LiOS system and millimeter-wave radar for assisted driving functions. 2. Exterior and Interior: In terms of body layout, the Li ONE has discontinued the 7-seater version, increasing the third-row space by 41mm, and adopts a newly designed steering wheel. The body comes standard with metallic paint in four colors: black, white, gray, and silver.

I've been driving for years and once encountered standing water after rain while driving the Li ONE. I recall its wading depth is around 300mm, approximately 30cm. This is similar to most SUVs, mainly relying on battery sealing to prevent water ingress. I've tried shallow puddles - driving slowly poses no issues, but exceeding 30cm water depth becomes dangerous. Increased water pressure can damage wiring harnesses, and if flooded, repairs could cost thousands. During rainy days, I always measure water depth with a stick - if it reaches halfway up the tires, I stop. The Li ONE's electric drive system has waterproof protection, but it's not a submarine - safety comes first. For family vehicles, don't take risks - taking a detour is wiser, protecting battery life and avoiding trouble. Driving tip: Brakes may be slippery after wading - remember to drive slowly for a while to dry them out.

During my days as a car mechanic, I've dealt with numerous vehicles affected by water issues. The Ideal ONE's wading depth standard is 30 to 40 centimeters, depending on its sealing design and waterproof rating. Electric vehicles don't have the risk of water entering through an exhaust pipe, but high water pressure can damage wiring harnesses or cause sensor failures. I recommend not exceeding 35 centimeters—measuring water depth with a ruler or estimating by tire height is the safest approach. The Ideal ONE's battery has an IP67 protection rating, so slow wading is generally fine, but rocks and debris in the water can still scratch the undercarriage. After wading, be sure to inspect the engine compartment and undercarriage; stop immediately if you notice any unusual odors. For safer driving in the rain: avoid sudden acceleration to prevent water splashing back. This car is well-maintained for daily use, but don't treat it like an off-road vehicle.

From a safety perspective, I’d like to remind you that the Ideal ONE’s wading depth is around 300mm. For family cars, never attempt deep water—anything over 20cm can cause stalling or skidding. I teach my kids not to drive through puddles in the rain—soaking electronic components when the temperature rises can lead to short circuits, and repairs won’t be cheap. Keep the speed slow to minimize splashing, but the Ideal ONE’s battery protection is reliable enough for everyday puddles. Key note: Brake pads get wet after wading, so gently brake a few times at low speed to restore grip. Protecting lives is the priority—avoiding puddles is both hassle-free and reassuring.

I tested the wading capability of the Li ONE while driving through mountains and rivers. It can handle depths of around 300mm, allowing me to leisurely cross small streams over 20cm deep with no water leakage thanks to its excellent body sealing. However, this vehicle isn't a hardcore off-roader—avoid water deeper than 30cm as it might affect the AC or audio system. For shallow puddles during countryside trips, it handles effortlessly, where wading technique is key: maintain steady moderate speed without sudden acceleration to minimize wave impact on the undercarriage. The Li ONE's battery has strong waterproofing, sufficient for daily recreation, but don't attempt off-road vehicle adventures. Pack extra fun for weekend trips while prioritizing safe driving to enjoy the scenery.

As a car enthusiast, I've researched the Ideal ONE's wading depth of 300mm. Compared to other SUVs, it doesn't have an advantage—for example, the Toyota Land Cruiser can handle up to 50cm. However, the Ideal ONE's range-extender design features excellent sealing, avoiding exhaust pipe issues when wading. For daily use, a water depth of 30cm is sufficient, but deeper water can easily scrape undercarriage components. I regularly inspect the underbody protective layer and check for any unusual odors from the battery after wading. Compared to fuel-powered vehicles, electric vehicles are more stable in water, making them a cost-effective and worry-free choice. Avoid depths exceeding 35cm to prevent damage to the electrical circuits.
