What is the wading standard for the Regal?

[JoannaRose]

The Regal's exhaust pipe has a ground clearance of 30.5 cm, and the half-height of its wheels is 32.5 cm. The half-height of the wheels is a conservative safe wading depth. At this water level, there is a possibility of water entering the exhaust pipe, but it won't cause the engine to stall, so you can safely pass through. Below is relevant information: Wading driving: Always drive at a low speed. For manual transmission vehicles, depending on the water depth, it is recommended to use second or third gear. In cases of deep water and heavy traffic, use first gear. Wading limit: The vehicle's air intake is located behind the grille, with the opening facing forward. The air filter is positioned about 5 cm above the air intake, so even if some water enters the intake, it won't reach the air filter. The Regal's air intake has a ground clearance of 61 cm, which is its wading limit. This is roughly equivalent to five-sixths of the wheel height, or the top of the wheel hub. When the water level reaches this point, although there is still about 5 cm to the air filter, it already prevents the engine from breathing normally. Therefore, when the water level reaches the upper seam between the wheel hub and tire, you should not continue wading.
