Can a 1.5L car go to Tibet?
1 Answers
1.5L naturally aspirated sedans can drive to Tibet by themselves. However, driving on the Sichuan-Tibet line is different from regular self-driving trips. No matter what kind of car it is, you must make some corresponding preparations before departure, mainly in the following aspects: 1. Tires: The roads in Tibet are basically paved with asphalt, and the road conditions are very good. However, due to climate and geological reasons, there are still some gravel roads and dirt roads. These road conditions are quite harsh on highway tires, causing significant wear. Therefore, before departure, check the tread depth of the tires. If the tread is too shallow, it is recommended to replace them with new tires to avoid accidents on the way. 2. Braking system: On the way to Tibet, there will be many uphill and downhill roads, and there will also be relatively steep sections, so the brakes will be used frequently. Before departure, it is recommended to check the thickness of the brake pads. 3. Engine: Due to the low oxygen content at high altitudes, the engine's air intake is reduced, and the engine's power efficiency can only reach about 60% of that in plain areas. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the engine is in good condition, such as replacing the engine oil, cleaning carbon deposits, replacing the coolant and aging water pipes to avoid breakdowns on the way.
