Domestic MPVs do not have four-wheel drive vehicles. Four-wheel drive refers to the independent movement of all four wheels during driving, which is a higher turning limit transmission method on the road. It can allocate optimal driving force to each wheel when the vehicle is turning at high speed. Part-time four-wheel drive: Part-time four-wheel drive is a system where the driver can manually choose between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The driver can switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive by engaging or disengaging the transfer case as needed. Full-time four-wheel drive: Full-time four-wheel drive means that all four wheels of the vehicle are independently driven at all times during operation. Full-time four-wheel drive requires the use of a central differential. The first full-time four-wheel drive vehicles appeared under the Subaru brand. This four-wheel drive mode significantly enhances the vehicle's off-road capability and handling performance. MPV vehicles: An MPV is a multi-purpose vehicle that evolved from the station wagon. It offers a very spacious passenger area, with some models providing excellent comfort. Most MPV models are hatchbacks, where the passenger compartment and trunk share the same space. There are independent engine configurations and pure MPVs, all of which feature rear sliding doors.

Over the years, I've driven quite a few domestic cars and found that there are indeed 4WD options available for domestic MPVs, though relatively few. For example, some new energy MPVs from BYD, such as the Tang DM-p or the high-end version of the Denza D9, offer 4WD systems. This is mainly to enhance stability on slippery roads and climbing ability, making them particularly suitable for snowy conditions in the north or family trips in mountainous areas. Domestic brands have made noticeable progress in this area, expanding from fuel-powered to electric models. However, the current selection of 4WD MPVs is still limited, and they are more expensive than their front-wheel-drive counterparts, with slightly higher maintenance costs. When choosing, it's important to consider your needs. For daily city commuting, a two-wheel-drive model might be more practical and economical, but if you're planning family road trips or tackling complex road conditions, it's advisable to try a 4WD version.

There are domestic MPVs with four-wheel drive, which I've noticed as someone who frequently researches cars. It's mainly the new energy models that come with it more often, such as certain MPVs from brands like NIO or Li Auto, which integrate four-wheel drive functionality. This system enhances traction and safety, especially providing more stability when turning in rainy or snowy conditions. But honestly, choosing four-wheel drive requires considering actual usage: if you're not frequently driving on rough roads or off-road, it might not be worth the extra cost, as fuel or electricity consumption will slightly increase. Currently, four-wheel drive MPVs are in the minority in the market, and many family users find two-wheel drive sufficient. Before purchasing, it's best to test drive and see if the handling meets expectations—don't blindly follow trends.

Domestic MPVs do indeed have four-wheel-drive versions, and I've noticed an increasing number of such models amid the new energy wave. Technically speaking, electric or hybrid systems make four-wheel drive easier to implement. For instance, some domestic brand MPVs offer all-wheel drive through dual-motor layouts, which optimizes traction performance and enhances flexibility on slopes or muddy roads. However, the actual number of such models is limited, so it's advisable to check the manufacturer's configuration sheets for confirmation. Overall, four-wheel drive can improve safety but adds weight and maintenance costs.

What is the reason for diesel engine idling vibration but no vibration when accelerating?

Diesel engine idling vibration but no vibration when accelerating is caused by: the engine's idle excitation frequency couples with the natural frequency of the steering system or vehicle body, generating idle resonance which leads to vibration. When accelerating, the engine's excitation frequency changes and increases, avoiding the natural frequency points of the transmission system or certain vehicle body components, thus eliminating the vibration. It is quite normal for an engine to have slight vibration during idling, as all engines exhibit this phenomenon. Under normal circumstances, it does not affect the driving and riding experience of vehicle owners, and no treatment is required. Only when the engine's idling vibration is excessive can it be considered a fault.

How to Turn Off the Engine Start-Stop Function in the Verano?

The Verano's automatic start-stop function has a dedicated switch button. Press it once to turn it off, and press it again to turn it on. The specific location of the button is next to the gear lever, where there are four small buttons. One of these buttons has the letter 'A' with 'OFF' beneath it—this is the switch to adjust the automatic start-stop function, with 'OFF' indicating the function is turned off.

Can ETC be transferred to another car?

ETC cannot be transferred to another car: ETC is dedicated to a specific vehicle. If both the vehicle and license plate are changed, the owner should first go to the bank to unbind the original ETC-linked bank card. If the new car needs to use ETC, a new ETC pass must be applied for. When passing through the highway, if the license plate number does not match the information in the card or the tag, passage will not be allowed; and the ETC will be added to the issuing bank's blacklist. The owner must bring their original ID card and vehicle registration certificate to the issuing bank's ETC service point to remove the ETC from the blacklist. If the car is changed but the license plate remains the same, simply take the ETC device to the service point, update the license plate number, engine number, and other information at the bank, and then reinstall it. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the owner must provide their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate (original and photocopy). If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the car must be registered under their name. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rear windshield angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase blind spots. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened area of the windshield or where the solar panel might be blocked. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple cars from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the car in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the car ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deduction. If a debit card is linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction to fail.
