What is the wading depth of the Mazda CX-4?

[LandonDella]

The maximum wading depth of the Mazda CX-4 is 400mm. The wading depth of the Mazda CX-4 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Mazda CX-4 is below the water level while wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. Installing a snorkel can increase the height of the engine's air intake, thereby improving the maximum wading depth. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingress. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles, choose an appropriate entry point, and follow the path taken by other vehicles at a low speed. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as references to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, avoid entering the water and choose an alternative route.
