It's all about speed.
The Velar (red rr early on) is a perfect example. It has a wade depth of 90cm so plenty above the water depth but the dickhead in it thought that meant he could be Rambo.
Go through slowly and the bow wave won't go over the engine and into the air intake.
There are definitely a few cars with low air intakes that will fail either way but most cars in the vid would have made it if they'd done 2mph through it.
The fiesta was a good laugh, but howcome no one is warning those drivers before hitting a 2-3 feet deep flooding? Makes me a bit sad that people just stand aside, waiting for another one to ruin their car. And then make a youtube channel out of it?
