BMW Mini models do have hybrid versions. BMW Mini exterior: The new car features MINI's latest family-style design on the front face, with headlights paired with circular LED daytime running lights. The front grille adopts a mesh design, and the three-section front bumper serves as an important distinguishing feature of the new MINI COUNTRYMAN from other MINI models. On the side of the body, the plug-in hybrid version has exclusive logos and charging ports on the front fenders. The plug-in hybrid version has only one exhaust outlet, and the identity-representing "plug" logo is visible at the rear of the car. BMW Mini powertrain: The new-generation MINI COUNTRYMAN hybrid version is equipped with the same plug-in hybrid system as the BMW 225xe. The hybrid powertrain includes a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, a low-power motor on the front axle, and a high-power motor on the rear axle. The front axle motor assists in driving the front wheels or reverses to recover braking energy but cannot independently drive the vehicle. The rear axle motor can operate in three modes: independently driving the rear axle, four-wheel drive in conjunction with the gasoline engine, or four-wheel drive in conjunction with the front axle motor. It is claimed that the Countryman has a pure electric range of 40km.

Can You Drive on the Highway Without ETC?

Yes, cars without ETC can drive on the highway because ETC is not mandatory. Since January 1, 2020, vehicles without ETC are no longer eligible for various toll reduction benefits and can only pass through toll stations via manual lanes to pay the toll. This might be inconvenient during holidays. ETC is just a different method of toll collection and does not affect the ability to drive on the highway. There are two methods of toll collection on highways: manual toll collection and ETC toll collection. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If someone else is applying on behalf of the owner, they must also bring their own valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. How ETC works: The system uses an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield to communicate with microwave antennas in the ETC lane at toll stations. It then performs background settlements with banks via computer networking technology, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping. Cost-saving: Reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing frequent starts and stops. Users also enjoy toll discounts. Increased efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically improve traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

Is the clutch of the Volkswagen Tayron dry or wet?

Whether the clutch of the Volkswagen Tayron is dry or wet depends on the specific situation: the 1.4L displacement model uses a dry clutch, while the 2.0L displacement model uses a wet clutch. Here is some related information about the Volkswagen Tayron's clutch: 1. The function of the clutch: Gradually increases the driving force of the car, allowing for a smooth start; temporarily separates the engine and transmission for gear shifting; prevents overload of the transmission system; reduces torsional vibration impact from the engine, extending the lifespan of transmission gears. 2. Differences: The main differences lie in reliability and stability. Wet dual-clutch transmissions have higher durability and reliability. Dry dual-clutch transmissions are mostly used in 1.4T engines, while wet dual-clutch transmissions are mostly used in 2.0T engines. Currently, only the Volkswagen Tayron's 1.4T model uses a wet dual-clutch transmission. Most other 1.4T models are matched with dry dual-clutch transmissions, including the 1.4T models of the Magotan and Passat, as well as mid-to-low-end models like the Sagitar and Lavida.

Does Using the Car's Air Conditioner to Blow Hot Air Consume Fuel?

Using the car's air conditioner to blow hot air does not consume fuel. For the heating system, there is no situation where it increases fuel consumption because the engine generates a large amount of heat after starting, and the cooling system assists in dissipating this heat. Therefore, the water-based heating system does not add extra fuel consumption during heat exchange. Here are some precautions when using the heating system: 1. First, do not turn on the heater immediately after starting the car because the heater relies on the engine's coolant temperature. When the engine is just started, the coolant temperature is low. Turning on the heater at this time will not only blow cold air but also increase the engine load, affecting the rise in coolant temperature. 2. Secondly, many new drivers are confused about whether to turn on the AC switch when using the heater in winter. Here are the correct steps to turn on the heater: Do not turn on the AC switch, remember not to turn it on. As shown in the figure below, adjusting the air conditioner to the red zone will blow hot air. Turn on the left-side internal circulation to warm up the car faster. You can also switch to external circulation after the interior temperature has risen.
