Sehol X8 not only meets the China VI emission standards, but also adopts a direct injection engine. Here are the specific details about the Sehol X8: 1. Model positioning: The Sehol X8 is the first fuel-powered vehicle under the Sehol brand and the first SMV model in China. Its length/width/height are 4815/1870/1758mm, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 1.5TGDI second-generation direct injection engine, delivering a maximum power of 135KW and a maximum torque of 300Nm. The maximum torque is achieved at 1800rpm, with a 0-50km/h acceleration time of 5.2 seconds. It is paired with either a 6MT or a DCT dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Speaking from the perspective of an average car owner, after driving the Sehol X8 for over a year, I find its overall quality decent. After all, it's produced under the Volkswagen system, ensuring reliable craftsmanship and stable driving performance. The doors feel solid, and the interior materials are quite wear-resistant—no major issues in two years, just occasional minor rattles that are tolerable. The key advantage is hassle-free maintenance with low servicing costs, and fair pricing at authorized service centers. In terms of space, the rear seats are spacious, ideal for family trips or daily commutes. Fuel consumption is moderate to slightly high: 8-10 L/100km in city driving, dropping to around 7 L/100km on highways—not the most fuel-efficient but acceptable. The transmission is smooth with gentle starts, though acceleration feels sluggish during quick bursts. Safety meets standards with ample airbags and a well-designed crash structure. However, the paint is thin and prone to scratches, and the AC cools a bit slowly in summer—minor drawbacks to note. Overall, it’s not a premium luxury car but offers great value for money, suiting budget-conscious buyers who prioritize durability.

Is an engine speed of 900 rpm normal?

An engine speed of 900 rpm is normal. Generally, the idle speed of an engine is around 750 rpm, and it increases to about 1500 rpm after starting. Hazards of excessive speed: Sudden acceleration to 5000 rpm may not necessarily damage the engine, but maintaining such high speeds for extended periods can significantly increase fuel consumption. Hazards of low speed: However, don't assume that low speeds are beneficial for the engine. For typical driving of family cars, the engine speed usually varies between 2500-3500 rpm, with idle speeds being lower, generally around 800-1500 rpm. If the engine speed is too low, fuel may not burn completely in the cylinders, leading to carbon buildup in the engine. Over time, this can cause more significant damage to the engine.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure Warning?

Tire pressure deficiency may be caused by air leakage due to wheel hub deformation. It is recommended to inspect the wheel hub and replace it if necessary. Load Capacity: For empty or partial loads, refer to the lower limit of tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's sticker as a reference value; for full loads, refer to the upper limit of tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's sticker. Tire Pressure Measurement Conditions: The tire pressure differs between cold and hot tires, with a difference of approximately 0.2-0.3. To obtain an accurate tire pressure reading, it is best to measure after the vehicle has been parked for several hours. Otherwise, subtract 0.2-0.3 from the hot tire measurement to get the tire's cold inflation pressure. Driving Conditions: If frequently driving long distances or on highways, the tire pressure should not be too low. It is advisable to increase the tire pressure by approximately 0.2 above the standard pressure. If frequently driving on rough or uneven roads, it is advisable to decrease the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2 below the standard pressure. Under normal conditions, these adjustments can be negligible.

What are some four-character domestic car brands?

Domestic car brands with four characters include FAW Bestune, Xiamen Golden Dragon, Englon Auto, and Chuanqi Wild Horse. The differences between joint venture cars and domestic cars lie in their styling and engine technology. Styling aspects: In terms of exterior design, domestic cars have less independent research and development and are still largely in the imitation stage; whereas joint venture cars combine the advantages of their own products and make improvements based on the demands of the domestic consumer market, making them more appealing to the market. In terms of appearance, joint venture cars have an advantage over domestic cars. Engine technology aspects: The engines of domestic cars are not as technologically mature as those of joint venture cars. From the perspective of car users, there are gaps in terms of engine smoothness, noise, fuel consumption, power, and durability.

Can an A1 driver's license be obtained directly?

A1 driver's license cannot be obtained directly. Below are two methods to obtain an A1 driver's license: 1. If you have held a driving license for A3 city buses, B1 medium-sized passenger vehicles, or B2 large trucks for more than five years, and have not accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the five consecutive scoring cycles prior to the application, you can apply for an A1 driver's license. 2. If you have held a driving license for A2 tractor-trailers for more than two years, and have not accumulated 12 penalty points in the most recent scoring cycle prior to the application, you can apply for an A1 driver's license. Additional information: The vehicle types permitted by an A1 driver's license include buses that can carry more than 20 passengers, as well as passenger vehicles with a body length exceeding 6 meters, which also require an A1 license. Other vehicle types permitted by an A1 license include: A3 (city buses), B1 (medium-sized passenger vehicles), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), C4 (three-wheeled cars), M (wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles).

Does a new car need to idle for a while before driving?

New cars need to idle for a while before driving, as a cold engine requires preheating. Reasons for warming up the car: The main reason for warming up the car is that after being parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, warming up is necessary. The correct method for warming up is to drive after 30 seconds to one minute of idling, but avoid driving at high RPMs at this time. Maintain a low speed with the engine RPM not exceeding 3000-3500, generally keeping it around 2000 RPM. Consequences of not warming up the car: In winter, when temperatures are low, most of the engine oil settles at the bottom of the engine. If you start driving suddenly, the oil pump cannot lubricate the entire engine in time, which can cause damage to engine components.

Can I delay my motorcycle's annual inspection for three months after the due date?

It is acceptable to delay your motorcycle's annual inspection for three months after the due date. Motorcycle annual inspection schedule: The inspection schedule for motorcycles is based on the purchase date. New motorcycles only require inspection every 2 years within the first 4 years of ownership, while those over 4 years old need annual inspections. For the inspection, simply drive your motorcycle and bring the original owner's ID card, original vehicle registration certificate, tax payment certificate for vehicle and vessel tax, and compulsory insurance policy to a qualified local inspection facility. Motorcycle annual inspection location: Motorcycles should undergo annual inspections at the vehicle management office in their registered location (where the license plate was issued). Motorcycles less than 4 years old require inspection every 2 years, while those over 4 years need annual inspections.
