Plug-in hybrid vehicles can operate without being plugged in as long as there is fuel available. Principle: For hybrid vehicles, there are mainly two types: plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. True hybrid models are plug-in hybrids. For plug-in hybrid vehicles, they function both as fuel-powered cars and electric vehicles. If not charged, they operate in fuel-powered mode. Plug-in hybrid vehicles can also run in electric mode if there is no fuel but the battery has charge. Advantages: Plug-in hybrid vehicles use electric power for propulsion, typically offering a range of around 100 kilometers. Driving in electric mode is cost-effective, making charging a more economical option.

Is the trunk of the Golf spacious enough?

The trunk capacity of the entire Golf series ranges from 350 to 1305 liters, which is sufficient for daily storage needs. Moreover, the trunk space of the Golf 6 is very well-organized, making it suitable for both household and business use. Additional details: 1. For hatchback models, the size of the trunk opening is generally not a major concern, as the Golf already outperforms most sedan models. It can accommodate slightly larger items without issue. However, it's worth noting that the Golf 6's minimum opening width is about 10 cm narrower than the minimum internal width of the trunk, which helps users gauge when loading larger luggage. 2. In two other aspects related to trunk practicality, the Golf 6 also demonstrates its advantages. Both the height of the trunk threshold and the minimum ground clearance of the trunk are significantly better than those of typical sedan models, ensuring high user satisfaction.

What does the 'hold' function in a car mean in Chinese?

The 'hold' function in a car translates to 'maintain' in Chinese. When this button is pressed, the automatic transmission enters hold mode, and the hold mode indicator light on the dashboard illuminates. The hold button adjusts the driving state according to different road conditions, effectively preventing the transmission from frequently shifting gears. It serves to force downshifting without upshifting during overtaking. When starting on snowy roads, using second gear instead of first gear provides a smoother start. By placing the gear lever in position 2 and pressing the hold button, the transmission maintains a gear ratio in second gear for a more stable start. When driving through continuous curves, the automatic transmission in normal mode may frequently shift gears due to the driver's control of the accelerator pedal.

What Are the Common Types of Car Suspension Systems?

Suspension systems can generally be divided into two major categories based on structural types: non-independent suspension and independent suspension. Common types of car suspension systems mainly include longitudinal leaf spring type, twist-beam rear suspension (non-independent), as well as MacPherson strut, double-wishbone, and multi-link independent suspensions. More details about common car suspensions are as follows: 1. Longitudinal Leaf Spring Non-Independent Suspension: This type of suspension is commonly seen in heavy-duty trucks, where the leaf spring serves both as a shock absorber and a guide, featuring a very simple structure. 2. Twist-Beam Rear Suspension: This non-independent suspension is specifically designed for rear wheels and is commonly used in most A-segment and below vehicles and low-end SUV models. 3. MacPherson Strut Independent Suspension: The MacPherson suspension is currently the most widely used type of suspension, primarily composed of a coil spring, shock absorber, and triangular lower control arm. Its motion characteristic allows the wheel to move only up and down along the kingpin, not side to side. 4. Double-Wishbone Independent Suspension: This type of suspension is more commonly used in sports cars. It mainly consists of two three-point linkages and one two-point linkage. The two control arms absorb lateral forces, while the strut primarily bears the vehicle's weight, and the vertices of the two wishbones are responsible for steering. 5. Multi-Link Independent Suspension: Multi-link independent suspensions can be further divided into front multi-link and rear multi-link suspension systems. The front suspension is usually a 3-link or 4-link independent suspension, while the rear suspension is typically a 4-link or 5-link system, with the 5-link rear suspension being more widely used.
