I drove my friend's Tharu, which was the 4WD version. It performed exceptionally steady on muddy rural roads, with power distributed to both front and rear wheels, providing excellent traction. It hardly slips even in rain or snow. Volkswagen's design is quite smart—fuel consumption is slightly higher during normal driving, but the extra cost is completely worth it when tackling complex terrains. I recommend it as a priority for those who frequently venture off-road. Not all versions come with 4WD, so check the specific model when purchasing. I remember last time on a long trip, crossing a small stream was effortless, making me feel much safer. Overall, the 4WD in the Tharu is a genuine option, especially suitable for practical-minded car owners.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the 4WD system of the Tharu. It's an optional configuration that's more hardcore than the FWD version but comes at a higher price. Compared to similar SUVs like the Haval H6, Volkswagen's 4WD responds faster, with electronic control automatically adjusting power distribution between wheels, especially providing better grip during uphill climbs or turns. However, it's not really necessary for city driving—it's more fuel-consuming and cumbersome. It shines during outings or in winter conditions. During my test drive, it handled slippery roads with stable cornering, giving me much more confidence. Before purchasing, evaluate your driving habits—if you frequently go off-road or live in areas with heavy rain or snow, definitely opt for the 4WD.

The Tharu does offer some models with 4WD capability, which can automatically distribute power between the front and rear wheels to enhance road adaptability. This feature proves more reliable in rainy, snowy, or muddy conditions, reducing the risk of losing control. For daily driving, it may consume slightly more fuel, so considering your budget and usage is crucial. Volkswagen's system is straightforward and efficient, requiring no manual switching.

How many months can the vehicle delivery date not exceed?

The vehicle delivery date should not exceed six months. Below are the specific details regarding precautions for vehicle delivery: Pay attention to the vehicle's production date: Check the vehicle's production date. If the time between the delivery date and the production date does not exceed 6 months, it is safe to purchase. If it exceeds six months, the vehicle is considered stock inventory, and extra caution should be taken to avoid purchasing such vehicles. Inspect the vehicle's exterior: Examine the exterior for any scratches or damage to the body and paint. If any issues are found, communicate promptly to resolve them. Then, check the interior for any damages, ensuring the seats, armrests, and other components are in good condition. Check for any vehicle malfunctions: Start the engine and verify that all onboard equipment functions properly, paying special attention to any warning lights. Note that the fuel warning light turning on during delivery is normal, as refueling is the owner's responsibility. If possible, take a short test drive to assess the vehicle's performance. An odometer reading of no more than 50 kilometers is acceptable. Vehicle's factory certificate: Be mindful of the vehicle's factory certificate. This certificate is essential for registering the vehicle. However, many dealerships may mortgage it to banks for liquidity reasons, and retrieving it from the bank to deliver to the owner may take some time. Typically, this process takes up to a week, with a maximum delay not exceeding one month.

Does Running a Yellow Light That Turns Red Count as Running a Red Light?

Whether running a yellow light that turns red counts as running a red light depends on whether the rear of the vehicle has crossed the line when the light turns red. 1. If the vehicle has just crossed the line and the driver does not continue moving the vehicle but remains stationary, traffic authorities will not consider it as running the light. 2. If a driver accidentally runs a red light but has already passed the stop line without completely crossing the intersection, traffic police may dismiss the violation under the following conditions: (1) Stopping at the intersection does not obstruct traffic; (2) It does not affect pedestrians crossing the crosswalk; (3) The vehicle has not completely passed through the intersection. As long as these three conditions are met, it will not be considered as running a red light.

Can a C1 License Drive Light Panel Vans?

C1 license holders can drive most light panel vans, with the specific reasons as follows: 1. Legal aspect: According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, a C1 driver's license permits the operation of small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, as well as light and mini special-purpose vehicles. 2. Size aspect: Generally, light panel vans fall within the 2-ton weight limit and do not exceed 6 meters in length, which is within the vehicle range permitted by a C1 license. Additionally, vehicles with a total weight not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating capacity (including the driver) not exceeding 9 people, or a length under 6 meters are all classified as small vehicles. 3. Requirements aspect: Different regions may have specific regulations regarding vehicle operation. To determine whether you can drive a particular vehicle, it's essential to check the relevant requirements in your area. It's advisable to consult the local traffic management department before using the vehicle to clarify the models, tonnage, length, and other related issues permitted under a C1 license. Ensure full understanding before use to avoid assuming unnecessary responsibilities if discovered otherwise.

What are the symptoms of engine blow-by?

Engine power decreases, and engine oil deteriorates. The following is an introduction to engine blow-by: 1. Definition: Engine blow-by is a relatively comprehensive fault. Blow-by is one of the common faults during engine operation. It refers to the phenomenon where a portion of the high-temperature and high-pressure expanding gases generated during the combustion process escape from the engine through abnormal channels. Its occurrence and development seriously threaten the normal operation of the engine. In mild cases, it reduces output power and wastes energy, while in severe cases, it damages components and causes accidents. When blow-by occurs, the pressure and temperature at the end of compression, as well as the combustion pressure, decrease, leading to difficulties in engine starting, insufficient power, and increased fuel consumption. 2. Severe symptoms of blow-by: In severe cases, the engine may fail to start or operate. When blow-by noise is severe, it resembles knocking. Opening the oil filler cap may reveal a large amount of gas escaping. Common blow-by locations include blow-by from the valve cover and blow-by from the crankcase oil filler port, accompanied by white smoke.

Are China VI vehicles more fuel-efficient than China V vehicles?

Here is a comparison of fuel consumption between China VI standard vehicles and China V vehicles: 1. Actually, the fuel consumption is slightly higher. Given the actual situation in China, it is highly likely that China VI vehicles with the same displacement and model as China V vehicles will consume more fuel. 2. Theoretically more fuel-efficient. From a theoretical perspective, higher emission levels imply more advanced engine technology. The application of new technologies such as turbocharging, direct injection, variable valve timing, smaller displacement with higher compression ratios, and Atkinson cycle can make fuel burn more completely and improve combustion efficiency. In theory, this should lead to better fuel efficiency, but this is only theoretical.
