So we had some heavy rains in a last couple of days and lots of flooded roads. I was wondering what's wading depth of C-HR. I'm more interested in hybrid, but would be nice to know the difference between it and turbo (other posts mention the height is slightly different and I suppose a different story is under the hood)

about 4 inches to be safe ,no sorry i have no idea

I found on some forum Rav4 2013+ can go through 50cm of water (no mention of a hybrid though)

I think the hybrid battery pack is very low in hybrids !!

About one inch below your wellies !! :lol: :lol:

If the water covers your exhaust tip then it's too deep, would have thought that was a common sense??

i would be more worried about sucking water in the air intake ,thats why alot of off roaders have the air intake above the bonnet, Hydrolock can do some serious damage

 

[MarkyMUK]

If it's below your exhaust tip it's almost certainly below the air intake....that would apply to most cars.

Also it would also take into account any bow wave anomalies.

So no one found out exact depth? I also looked at some tech sheet I've got with the car, but not a word there too

I found a brochure at my dealer's of C-HR 2019 and there's a wading depth written:

• 1,2 Turbo - 16cm
• HSD - 14,8cm
