How off road... and in water (!!!) can you go?!?

[jimb003]

We are 90% into buying a PHEV and love the ride, details etc. One sticking point we're not getting answers for (no one's fault as they don't know) is can you drive it through water, and if so, how deep?

If anyone can help me out with this I would be really thankful.

There was a discussion about this early doors, I'll see if I can find it for you...

Here you go. The discussion starts around page 2 but the definitive answer (direct from Mitsubishi) is on page 6.

40cm in manual i think

40 cm despite dire warnings in the manual.

I wouldn't at all....

Regardless of what it says in the manual.

Has anyone taken a tape measure to it? It seems to me that 40cm must be a fair bit above the door sills, isn't it?

 

[Goldfinger]

Above the sills definitely , to about the top of the alloy on the alloy wheels (roughly). :shock:

So yes, I think the motors will be under water by then!!!

I was actually thinking more of my feet!
