Cars are primarily classified based on parameters such as wheelbase and vehicle length. The main car classes include subcompact cars, compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars. Dimensions for each car class: Subcompact cars: Wheelbase ranges between 2350mm to 2600mm, with body length between 3700mm to 4450mm. Compact cars: Wheelbase ranges from 2500mm to 2750mm, with body length between 4300mm to 4750mm. Compact cars are the preferred choice for family vehicles as they meet daily commuting needs while maintaining reasonable usage costs, making them the mainstream models in the domestic market. Midsize cars: Wheelbase ranges from 2650mm to 2950mm, with body length between 4600mm to 5000mm. Midsize cars are commonly used for business purposes in China. Full-size cars: Wheelbase exceeds 2900mm, with body length over 5100mm.

Can five-year-old new tires still be used?

Five-year-old new tires cannot be used. Generally, tires should be replaced every 5 years or after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If there is uneven wear, the tread wear indicators are reached, aging cracks appear on the tires, or the tire replacement period is reached, it is recommended to replace them with new tires for safety reasons. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Tires are one of the important components of a car, and their main functions are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the operational load of the car; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface.

What to Do If the New Car Smells Too Strong?

Methods to deal with the strong smell of a newly purchased car include: 1. Ventilate the car, especially by airing it under the sun with all doors open to disperse the odor; 2. Place peeled fruit peels such as pomelo or orange inside the car; 3. Put a small bottle of vinegar inside the car; 4. Place several packs of bamboo charcoal in the car. Bamboo charcoal has strong adsorption capabilities and can absorb moisture, sulfides, chlorides, formaldehyde, and other harmful substances from the air, while also purifying air and water quality; 5. Install an in-car air purifier. An in-car air purifier can filter the air inside the car, effectively removing not only formaldehyde but also PM2.5, TVOC, odors, bacteria, viruses, and other air pollutants with significant results.

Is horsepower or torque more important for uphill driving?

The climbing ability of a car mainly depends on torque (twisting force) and the RPM at which peak torque is generated. Here are the relevant details: 1. Peak Torque: The lower the RPM at which peak torque is reached (the earlier the torque output peak curve appears) and the higher the torque value, the better the theoretical climbing performance and the greater the initial acceleration G-value. 2. Climbing Ability: Climbing ability primarily depends on torque. Wheel torque is determined by engine torque, transmission gear ratio, drivetrain gear ratio (final drive ratio), and wheel radius. A car with high torque isn't necessarily fast; high torque only indicates that the car has strong traction. The lower the car's speed, the stronger the torque.

How to Determine if a Car's Ignition Coil is Faulty?

Methods to determine if a car's ignition coil is faulty include: 1. When the ignition coil is faulty, the car body will shake noticeably at idle speed; 2. Observe the exhaust pipe outlet—the exhaust gas flow will show obvious intermittency, accompanied by severe shaking of the exhaust pipe and a clear "popping" sound. As gasoline engines evolve toward higher speeds, higher compression ratios, greater power, lower fuel consumption, and reduced emissions, traditional ignition systems no longer meet the requirements. The core components of the ignition system are the ignition coil and the switching device. Increasing the energy of the ignition coil enables the spark plug to generate sufficient spark energy, which is the fundamental condition for the ignition system to adapt to the operation of modern engines.

What does it mean when a small wrench light comes on inside the car?

When a small wrench light comes on inside the car, it is a maintenance reminder light, indicating that the car needs maintenance. It is recommended to go to a service center for maintenance as soon as possible. After the maintenance is completed, the maintenance reminder light can be turned off by following a certain reset procedure. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

How to Extract Oil from a Car?

Place one end inside the fuel tank and the other end into an oil container on the ground, following the direction indicated by the arrow. After positioning, turn on the switch as instructed and manually squeeze the airbag to extract the oil using atmospheric pressure. Below is more information about car oil: 1. Storage method: Protect against water, oxidation, and impurities. Ensure the bottle cap is tightly sealed. 2. Refueling ratio: 25% refers to the timing of refueling. Waiting until the tank is nearly empty can cause accumulated impurities at the bottom to be drawn into the fuel system, leading to poor fuel supply. 80% refers to the amount of fuel; there's no need to fill the tank completely to avoid increasing the vehicle's load and causing unnecessary fuel consumption.
