The Highlander does have China VI compliant models. Here are the details about the Highlander: 1. In terms of appearance, it offers three different front grille designs based on trim levels. The Elite and Luxury trims feature a matte front grille, the top-tier Platinum trim comes with a chrome front grille, while the newly added second-top-tier Premium trim adopts a rotating chrome front grille. Such diverse exterior styling is rare among vehicles in the same class. 2. The overall silhouette has become more minimalist. Without too many flashy design elements, the styling gives a very enduring aesthetic appeal. This is exactly the kind of mass-appealing design effect Highlander aims for. 3. The mid-cycle facelift Highlander didn't undergo radical interior changes. The cabin layout isn't particularly exquisite but excels in practicality. 4. Regarding features, the Highlander has added the TSS (Toyota Safety Sense) package, which includes PCS (Pre-Collision System), LDA (Lane Departure Alert), AHB (Automatic High Beam), and DRCC (Dynamic Radar Cruise Control).

I have some knowledge about cars and previously researched the Toyota Highlander, which does have a China VI version. Since the implementation of the China VI emission standards domestically, Toyota has updated the Highlander models to meet the requirements, including both gasoline-powered and hybrid versions. These vehicles have cleaner emissions, significantly reducing tailpipe pollution, which is beneficial for environmental protection. I test-drove the new model at a 4S dealership, where the salesperson emphasized its compliance with China VI standards. When purchasing, don’t forget to check the emission label on the vehicle’s compliance certificate to avoid buying older inventory models. As a family SUV, the Highlander offers spacious and practical interiors, and opting for the China VI version can help bypass certain city driving restrictions. In daily driving, it provides ample power with relatively reasonable fuel consumption. In short, most models currently on the market are China VI-compliant, so doing some homework before buying and verifying the details is sufficient.

Having driven the Highlander for several years, I specifically chose the China VI version when selecting the car, and the Toyota Highlander indeed offers this option. As an owner, I've noticed in daily use that the China VI version is more fuel-efficient, with reduced emissions due to the higher standard, making driving more reassuring. When purchasing the car at the dealership, the sales staff proactively mentioned that the newer models are all China VI compliant, especially the hybrid versions. I recommend checking the model year; those from 2020 onwards are generally compliant. Don’t forget to consider your usage needs—the Highlander offers strong comfort and ample space, making it ideal for family trips. The China VI version scores extra points under environmental policies, eliminating concerns about mileage restrictions in big cities, offering high overall value. It’s a solid choice, just be cautious not to get stuck with old inventory.

From a market perspective, the Toyota Highlander has long been compliant with China's National VI emission standards, with current mainstream models all meeting the National VI requirements. Following the tightening of emission policies, automakers quickly adapted, and the Highlander meets standards for both gasoline and hybrid powertrains, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. Sales data indicates that National VI-compliant versions are more popular, especially in areas with driving restrictions. Consumers can directly verify the environmental compliance list or check online when purchasing to ensure they get a compliant model. The Highlander's practicality hasn't diminished; instead, its combination with environmental advantages has enhanced its appeal, a trend that will continue in the coming years.

When Should Fog Lights Be Used?

Fog lights are used in conditions where visibility is significantly affected by weather, such as foggy or rainy days. They are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle to illuminate the road and provide safety warnings during inclement weather. Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbols for rear fog lights differ slightly from those of front fog lights: the front fog light symbol has downward-pointing light lines, whereas the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines, located on the dashboard inside the vehicle. Uses of fog lights: 1. The primary function of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to others in conditions of poor visibility due to fog or rain. Therefore, the light source of fog lights needs to have strong penetration. 2. Fog lights must be installed below the bumper, at the lowest point of the vehicle body, to ensure their effectiveness. If installed too high, the light cannot penetrate the fog or rain to illuminate the road, which can lead to hazards. 3. The fog light switch generally has three positions: position 0 is off, position 1 controls the front fog lights, and position 2 controls the rear fog lights.

What engine does the Roewe 550 use?

The Roewe 550 is equipped with the 18K4G engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 133Ps, a maximum power output of 98KW at 6000rpm, and a peak torque of 170Nm. The engine of the Roewe 550 is assembled by BAIC Group Co., Ltd., with technical support provided by BAIC, making it a domestically produced engine. For daily maintenance of the Roewe 550's engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate over time during use. After a certain mileage, the performance degrades, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Periodically clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How to Deal with Foggy Windows on Rainy Days in a Car?

When driving in the rain and encountering foggy windows, you can use the air conditioning system to defog. Turn on the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, switch on the A/C, and adjust the temperature to the lowest setting. The fog on the windows will disappear shortly. Additionally, some car models come with heated rear windshields and side mirrors. Simply press the switch to activate the heating, and the fog will clear in about a minute. Here are some methods to prevent window fogging on rainy days: 1. Proper use of the air conditioning system: Park the car, start the air conditioning, adjust the temperature control to the warm air setting, and press the defogging button to dry the windshield with warm air. 2. Use specialized anti-fog products: Spray evenly on the windows and wipe clean before each use to form a transparent protective film that prevents fogging. 3. Open windows to allow air circulation: If the fog is not heavy, slightly open the side windows to let the inside and outside air mix, gradually equalizing the temperature and dispersing the fog. 4. Use dish soap with a dry cloth: Mix dish soap with water (ratio 1:6), apply evenly on the interior windows with a sponge, and wipe dry with a car towel once it dries, leaving no watermarks. This method usually keeps the windows fog-free for up to 20 hours.

What are the symptoms of unstable engine idle speed?

Unstable idle speed of a car engine mainly manifests in the following aspects: 1. The tachometer needle fluctuates up and down during idle, showing instability. 2. Vibration occurs during idle. The following are the reasons for unstable idle speed: 1. Clogged fuel injector: Leads to insufficient fuel supply pressure. Clogging of fuel injectors is usually caused by gum and carbon deposits in gasoline. 2. Faulty water temperature sensor: The car's water temperature sensor is generally installed on the engine block (or possibly on the water jacket of the cylinder head) and directly contacts the coolant (antifreeze) to measure the temperature of the engine coolant. Once the water temperature sensor fails, the car may experience unstable idle speed, difficulty starting when cold, inability to increase speed, and significantly increased fuel consumption. 3. Faulty throttle position sensor: The throttle position sensor detects whether the engine is in idle condition or under load operation, and whether the car is accelerating or decelerating. Damage to the throttle position sensor can cause engine vibration and unstable idle speed. 4. Air intake system leakage: The ECU controls the mixture concentration primarily based on intake air information such as water temperature, throttle opening, and engine speed provided by the air flow meter. Leakage in the intake air system can cause the ECU to inaccurately control the intake air volume, leading to unstable engine idle speed. 5. Exhaust system blockage: Causes poor exhaust, resulting in symptoms such as weak acceleration, reduced power, and unstable idle speed. 6. Weak spark from individual spark plugs: Leads to cylinder misfire, causing unstable engine idle speed, and may also result in black smoke from the exhaust pipe, reduced power, and backfiring.

Load Index and Speed Rating?

Meaning of Load Index: The numerical value indicating the maximum load that a tire can bear under specified conditions when inflated to its maximum air pressure. It is usually represented by a number. If the total weight of the vehicle exceeds this value, the tire deformation will be significant, leading to increased heat generation during prolonged operation, ultimately causing tire fatigue damage, reduced lifespan, and even structural failure resulting in a blowout accident. 2. Meaning of Speed Rating: It is denoted by a letter, ranging from J to Z. Under the corresponding load capacity of the relevant load index, each letter represents the maximum permissible speed of the tire.
