What is the wading depth of the Teana?
2 Answers
70 centimeters. The Teana's air intake height is 75.5 centimeters, the wheel diameter is 65 centimeters, and the tailpipe height is 29 centimeters. Therefore, in the absence of waves, the theoretical maximum wading depth of the Teana is 70 centimeters. Below is extended information about the Teana: Exterior Design: The 2021 Teana newly introduced red-black and white-black dual-color appearances. Except for the entry-level 2.0L model, all models are equipped with 17-inch or larger wheels, LED headlight assemblies, and LED daytime running lights. Additionally, the model also launched the Shadow Edition package, which includes blackened tail badges, front grille chrome trim, wheels, rear spoiler, Midnight personalized tail badges, and other unique exterior accessories. Interior Design: The 2021 Teana upgrade features piano black lacquer door trim panels, wood grain trim on the center console and gearshift lever box, and is wrapped in exquisite soft materials to enhance the cabin's luxury feel. Furthermore, the Shadow Edition package also includes luxurious LED welcome pedals and exclusive floor mats.
I used to drive a Teana and experienced driving through urban floodwaters with a depth of about 500mm, roughly half the height of the tires. Once, I took the risk of driving through a deep water area, and the car wobbled, almost causing water to enter the engine. The repair cost me over a thousand yuan. Since then, I've been extra cautious, especially checking road water accumulation in advance when driving in the rain. Now, before driving, I always glance at the center position of the tires—if the water level surpasses this line, I definitely detour. Safety first! Moreover, as a regular sedan, the Teana doesn’t have a very high ground clearance—it’s far from an SUV—so its wading capability is limited. I recommend driving slowly through deep water to minimize splashing and avoid rushing through. Let’s talk more about rainy-day driving. It’s best to install a dash cam to monitor the road ahead and regularly check the intake pipe to ensure it’s not clogged.
