The Nissan Qashqai SUV has a wading depth of approximately 50 centimeters, which is about half a meter. With several years of driving experience, I often encounter waterlogged sections during rainy days or outings. The Qashqai can handle 500mm water depth without major issues, mainly because its air intake is positioned relatively high, reducing the risk of water ingress. However, avoid attempting to cross excessively deep water. If the exhaust pipe or electrical components get submerged, the engine may stall. Regularly check for clogged drainage holes under the car, and note that severely worn tires can also affect wading stability. Overall, this depth is suitable for minor urban road puddles or small streams. For deeper rivers, it's best to detour—safety first.
