Hi
What’s the maximum depth of water an XC60 can go through
i.e. a Ford

I'd be cautious going through a ford at 350mm if its flowing. standing water wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Land Rovers with water depth sensors are the safest option if you intend to do a lot of paddling.

I have inbuilt sensors on my Landrover Defender - if the water is coming through the bottom of the door I am at the maximum depth - has worked for me many times

Thats my limit in my Defender but seen one on youtube a little while ago with water coming in through the vents below the windscreen. It still kept on going to the end of the flooded lane.
