What is the wading depth of the Tiguan L in centimeters?
2 Answers
The wading depth of the Tiguan L is 20-30 centimeters. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Dimensions: The Volkswagen Tiguan L is positioned as a mid-size SUV, with body dimensions of 4712/1839/1673mm in length, width, and height, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. The 'L' in Tiguan L signifies a wheelbase that is 110mm longer than the standard Tiguan, and the vehicle class has also been upgraded to a mid-size car. 2. Powertrain: The new Tiguan family, as a mid-cycle facelift model, has undergone adjustments in appearance and configuration. It offers four powertrain options, including a 1.4T engine, high and low power 2.0T engines, and a plug-in hybrid system based on the 1.4T engine.
I've been driving this Tiguan L for three years and specifically checked the manual - Volkswagen never specifies exact wading depth. But experience tells me not to exceed the center mark of the wheel hub, about 25cm. Once during heavy rain, I saw sedans ahead nearly submerging their exhaust pipes, so I carefully drove along the highest road section. Water reached the lower door edge (about 28cm deep) without stalling. Remember: maintain steady throttle in water - never release it. If stalled, NEVER restart immediately or engine overhaul could cost tens of thousands! During rainy seasons, avoid deep water - repairing waterlogged electronic components in the chassis is particularly troublesome.
