With proper maintenance, it can last around 10 years. Here are its detailed specifications: Interior: Features a dual-tone interior design primarily utilizing leather, faux wood, and chrome finishes that create a modern aesthetic. In terms of materials, the new Passat has virtually no exposed plastic components, with leather and faux wood finishes offering good quality. Powertrain: Offers three variants with different power outputs - a 1.4T high-power version, and two 2.0T versions with high and low power configurations. The 1.4T high-power model delivers a maximum horsepower of 110kW and peak torque of 250N·m. The low-power tuned 2.0T version produces a maximum power of 137kW at 4100-6000rpm, with peak torque reaching 320N·m at 1500-4000rpm; the high-power 2.0T engine achieves a maximum power of 162kW, with peak torque of 350N·m at 4500-6250rpm.

What kind of engine oil is suitable for Senova X25?

Senova X25 can use 5W30 engine oil. The "W" stands for winter, and the number before "W" indicates the oil's low-temperature fluidity. The smaller the number, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity. The number after "W" represents the oil's viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity, which provides better protection for the engine under high-temperature conditions. The oil's protective capability for the engine is better during cold starts. Senova X25 is the first A0-class SUV under the Senova brand of Beijing Automotive Group, with dimensions of 4110mm in length, 1750mm in width, and 1583mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2519mm. The vehicle is equipped with practical features such as a rear parking radar, rearview camera, leather multifunction steering wheel, automatic climate control, and a central console LCD screen.

Does Window Tint Provide Heat Insulation?

Window tint provides heat insulation. Here is an introduction to its related aspects: 1. Function: Window tint, also known as heat-insulating film, is a type of automotive film developed to combat summer sunlight and ultraviolet rays. 2. Physical Properties: Window tint is made by vacuum deposition or magnetron sputtering to create multiple layers of dense metallic films using precious and rare metals such as gold, aluminum, silver, nickel, and titanium. It blocks heat through the inherent physical properties of these metals. 3. Features: It offers explosion-proofing, scratch resistance, anti-glare properties, reduced fuel consumption, protection for car interiors, and privacy protection. It also enhances window transparency and clarity, ensuring driving safety. 4. Identification: There are numerous heat-insulating film products on the market with varying quality. High-quality heat-insulating films do not feel cloudy and are superior in thickness, scratch resistance, and environmental friendliness (odor-free) compared to inferior products.

Do Electric Vehicles Use Antifreeze?

Electric vehicles do require antifreeze. Unlike in fuel-powered vehicles, antifreeze in electric vehicles is used to cool the motor and must be replaced periodically according to the manufacturer's guidelines (typically every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers). The antifreeze in electric vehicles primarily serves to dissipate heat from the motor and the battery, and it is also used for the temperature regulation in the air conditioning and heating systems. Below are the steps to replace the antifreeze in an electric vehicle: 1. Always wait at least 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned off before replacing the antifreeze. The antifreeze can be extremely hot after driving and may cause burns. 2. Conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle: Check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes and inspect the five-way water pipe. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this area, replace the water pipe or resecure the connection as needed. 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle. 4. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the radiator with a wrench and use a waste fluid pan to catch the old antifreeze. 5. Cover the expansion tank cap with a thick towel and slowly loosen it until the pressure is fully released, then remove the cap completely. Use a compressed air blow gun or a thick towel to pressurize the expansion tank filler port to remove as much antifreeze as possible from the engine. 6. Add softened water and let the engine idle for 5 minutes to thoroughly clean the internal cooling circulation system. 7. Add new antifreeze up to the maximum fill line. 8. Let the engine idle for another 5 minutes, then observe the coolant reservoir's level and top it up if necessary.

What is sudden engine stalling while driving?

Here are possible reasons for sudden engine stalling while driving: 1. Electrical circuit failure. This may occur due to low-voltage power interruption during driving, causing stalling. In this case, focus on checking the ignition system, starter switch, and fuse box. 2. Electrical component failure. Common issues involve the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially but stall after a while, then restart and stall again. 3. Fuel system failure. Possible causes include a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor inlet, or empty fuel tank. The car might restart but with difficulty. 4. Sensor failure. Malfunctions in the throttle position sensor, air flow sensor, intake pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or camshaft position sensor can lead to stalling. 5. Other failures. Serious issues like engine timing system disorder, incorrect timing calibration, or valve collision may prevent the engine from starting, requiring roadside assistance. 6. Use of substandard fuel. Automatic transmission vehicles generally don't stall easily. When they do, the primary cause is usually low-quality (below-standard) fuel leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling.

Can someone else apply for a temporary license plate on my behalf?

Temporary license plates can be applied for by someone else. When applying for a temporary license plate for a vehicle, the Temporary Driving Registration Form must be completed according to relevant requirements. Materials required for applying for a temporary license plate: 1. Original and photocopy of the vehicle qualification certificate (import certificate for imported vehicles); 2. Original and photocopy of the third copy of compulsory traffic insurance; 3. Original and photocopy of the first copy of the vehicle purchase invoice; 4. Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof (if applying through an agent, the agent's original ID and photocopy are required); 5. Non-local vehicle owners need to provide the original and photocopy of their temporary residence permit. To entrust someone else to apply for a temporary license plate, in addition to the above materials, the following are also required: If the application is submitted by an entrusted agent (or an employee of the unit), a Power of Attorney for Vehicle Business (1 original copy) and the agent's (or entrusted person's) identity proof (1 original and photocopy) must also be submitted.

Are Position Lamps the Same as Width Lamps?

Position lamps and width lamps are the same. Position lamps are also called width lamps. They are lamps installed at the highest points of the front and rear of a vehicle, similar to the anti-collision lights on the wingtips of an aircraft. They are primarily used during driving in conditions such as dusk, overcast days, or rainy and foggy weather to indicate the width and height of the vehicle. This helps other drivers determine the relative position and size of the vehicle during encounters or overtaking. Typically, the color of width lamps is white at the front and red at the rear. There are two types of position lamp switches: rotary knob style and lever style. Literally, the term 'position lamp' can be broken down: 'position' implies a warning, and 'lamp' refers to the outline. Position lamps are warning lights designed to alert other vehicles. Installed along the edges of the vehicle's roof, they indicate both the height and width of the vehicle. Safety regulations mandate that vehicles taller than three meters must be equipped with position lamps.
