Can Small-Displacement Vehicles Drive on the Grassland Sky Road?
2 Answers
Small-displacement vehicles can drive on the Grassland Sky Road. Here are some precautions for driving: 1. Vehicle inspection before departure: Conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle every day before setting off, including checking for oil or water leaks; measure tire pressure to ensure it is appropriate; inspect the engine oil condition; check if the spare tire is intact, etc. 2. Be cautious when wading: If encountering waterlogged roads, be aware of the water depth and the condition of the road beneath before deciding whether it exceeds the vehicle's capability. Avoid attempting to wade through water deeper than half the height of the car's tires. 3. Obey traffic rules: Especially on highways, do not speed. Speeding not only risks fines from traffic police but, more importantly, is unsafe.
I've driven small-displacement cars on the Grassland Sky Road several times before, and I feel it's completely doable. Although the Grassland Sky Road has many slopes and curves, for small-displacement cars, as long as the engine is below 1.6L, the power is generally sufficient for daily driving. I've tried driving a 1.5L car there, and when climbing slopes, pressing the accelerator a bit deeper and keeping the RPM around 3000, the power response was decent, not too strenuous. The key is to service the vehicle in advance, checking the brake pads, tire tread, and oil condition to ensure everything is in order. The road conditions are generally smooth, but there are a few gravel sections, so driving slowly can avoid damaging the chassis from bumps. Summer is the best time to go, with clear weather and good visibility, plus it saves fuel, making the trip much cheaper in terms of gas money. It's advisable to fill up the tank in the city before setting off, as there are few refueling points along the way, and to bring some emergency tools like a spare tire and tow rope, just in case. Overall, small-displacement cars can handle this route without issues, but don't push for speed—steady and safe driving is better.
