The safety of the 2021 Tiguan L has been significantly improved, with upgrades to the safety system. Powertrain: Equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder EA888-DPL engine, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The powertrain is robust and performs at an above-average level among its peers. Body Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4712mm, 1839mm, and 1673mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2791mm. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.

As a father of two, I feel much safer driving the 2021 Tiguan L. The body structure uses thicker high-strength steel, which absorbs energy better in collisions. The number of airbags has been increased to eight, including front side airbags and rear curtain airbags, providing more comprehensive protection. The automatic braking system can predict dangers in traffic jams or sharp turns, actively slowing down to prevent rear-end collisions. Compared to the older model I've driven, the braking response is faster, the ABS tuning is more sensitive, and it doesn't skid in rainy conditions. The lane-keeping assist prevents the car from drifting, reducing the risk of fatigue driving. The kids are safer in the back seat too, with the upgraded child lock now operable with just one click. It scored high in the C-IASI tests, with particularly strong side collision protection. In daily use, the overall stability gives me more peace of mind.

Which is More Fuel-Efficient: 1.5T or 2.0L?

First, let's discuss the differences between 1.5T and 2.0L. The 1.5T refers to a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. Naturally, its engine type is a turbocharged engine. The operating principle of a turbocharged engine is an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gases produced during operation drive an air compressor, which in turn generates power for the engine. The 2.0L engine represents a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. Generally, the 1.5T is more fuel-efficient. Theoretically, the 2.0L consumes more fuel, but this is not absolute. It also depends on the weight of the vehicles equipped with these engines and the structure of the transmission. If two cars have the same weight and travel the same distance at the same speed, the power and energy consumed by both vehicles will be the same. However, this scenario has conditions: the displacement of the engines in the two cars should not differ too significantly. From this perspective, the 1.5T engine is still more fuel-efficient. If driving on regular roads, the fuel consumption of a 1.5T car and a 2.0L naturally aspirated car may be quite similar. Moreover, influenced by the vehicle's own weight, it's highly possible that your smaller displacement car may waste more fuel during acceleration. In particularly congested urban areas, the fuel consumption of a 1.5T might even exceed that of a 2.0L.

How often should a car be waxed?

Under normal circumstances, if the car is parked in a garage and driven mostly on good roads, waxing every 3-4 months is sufficient. However, the interval between waxing should vary depending on the driving environment and parking conditions. For new cars, it is recommended that owners avoid waxing them casually. Some people wax their new cars immediately after purchase, but in fact, the paint layer of a new car already has a protective wax coating. Typically, there is no need to rush into waxing a new car within the first five months of purchase. Washing and waxing a car offers many benefits, such as waterproofing, heat resistance, and anti-static properties. In the later stages of car use, waxing approximately every 2 to 3 months can help maintain the smoothness and shine of the paint.

Does AT Transmission Refer to the Tiptronic?

AT transmission does not necessarily mean Tiptronic. Below are the relevant introductions about Tiptronic: Transmission: Tiptronic transmission is not AT. Tiptronic refers to a certain type of automatic transmission that has manual shifting functionality, and this transmission with manual shifting capability is not necessarily an AT transmission—it could also be a dual-clutch or CVT transmission. Transmission mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual Transmission vs. Automatic Transmission: A manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. On the other hand, an automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

What is the battery model for the Hyundai ix35?

The original battery model for the Hyundai ix35 is CMF60L-BCI. This vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free calcium-based battery, with the brand being Fengfan Battery. The rated voltage is 12V, the 20-hour rate capacity is 60Ah, and the rated reserve capacity is 92Min. The typical lifespan is around 2-3 years, requiring regular checks to determine if replacement is needed. Important considerations when charging the battery: Rapid discharge: If the battery discharges rapidly in a short time (e.g., turning on headlights or interior lights while the vehicle is not in use), it should be charged slowly (low current) for 10 hours. High electrical load: If the battery discharges slowly due to a high electrical load while the vehicle is in use, it should be charged at 20-30A for 2 hours. Battery gassing: When charging the battery, observe carefully. If violent gassing (boiling) occurs in any battery cell or the electrolyte temperature exceeds 49°C (120°F), stop charging or reduce the charging rate. Disconnecting the charger: Follow these steps to disconnect the battery charger: Turn off the main switch of the battery charger; Remove the negative terminal clamp from the battery; Remove the positive terminal clamp from the battery. Battery maintenance: Before performing battery maintenance or recharging the battery, turn off all accessories and stop the engine.
