An SUV is not an off-road vehicle; it is a comprehensive automobile that combines the performance of both off-road vehicles and sedans. Representative SUV models include: Nissan Juke, Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition, Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG, InternoDi Artemis, Bentley Bentayga, etc. An SUV is an upgraded version of a sedan with more space and higher ground clearance, designed and manufactured to meet the driving and riding needs in urban and highway environments. SUVs use the same unibody structure and MacPherson suspension system as sedans, and come in both four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive configurations, offering the comfort and spaciousness required for urban commuting and family use.

As a frequent SUV driver, I think many people misunderstand that SUVs are off-road vehicles. In fact, SUVs are divided into several types: urban SUVs and off-road SUVs. I've driven a CR-V for five years, which is a typical urban SUV—high ground clearance, spacious, suitable for daily commuting and light muddy roads, but not really capable of serious mountain climbing or water fording. True off-road vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler or Toyota Land Cruiser come with low-range four-wheel drive, differential locks, and superior off-road capability to handle tough terrains. SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle, meaning a multi-purpose vehicle, not all of which are designed for off-roading. When buying a car, consider your needs: if you mainly drive in the city, there's no need to spend big on an off-road model. Also, pay attention to tire wear during regular maintenance to ensure safety first, because mistaking an urban SUV for an off-road vehicle can lead to accidents or even rollovers.

Do New Energy Vehicles Have Engines?

New energy vehicles do not have engines. Here are the relevant details: Core: One core component of electric vehicles is the power transmission system, which differs from traditional fuel-powered vehicles. This component is the motor speed control device, which can be considered the core part. The motor speed control device is designed for functions like speed regulation and direction change in electric vehicles. Its role is to control the voltage or current of the motor, thereby managing the driving torque and rotation direction of the motor. It directly drives the wheels.

Will Insurance Cover Intentional Driving into Water?

Insurance companies will not cover damages if a vehicle is intentionally driven into water. Here are the relevant details: Coverage scope for vehicle damage: While it includes scenarios where the vehicle is submerged, the insurance policy explicitly states that violations of traffic rules such as unlicensed driving, drunk driving, or intentional damage are excluded from coverage. If the vehicle owner collides with external objects while driving, such as hitting another car causing it to fall into water, or hitting trees or railings resulting in vehicle damage, compensation may be available. Important notes: In the event of an insurance claim, necessary and reasonable rescue expenses paid by the insured to prevent or reduce the vehicle's loss will be covered by the insurer, up to the insured amount.

What Are the Reasons for No Response When Starting the Car?

No response when starting the car is usually caused by a dead battery. When the car engine starts, the battery supplies power to the starter and ignition system to make the engine run. If the battery is low on charge, it may cause difficulty in starting or even no response at all when attempting to ignite. Besides the natural degradation of the battery itself, improper usage habits of the owner can also lead to battery depletion. Some owners, in an effort to save fuel, tend to turn off the engine while using electrical devices such as the audio system or cigarette lighter. However, this can rapidly drain the battery and shorten its lifespan. When the battery is low or nearing the end of its life, symptoms like difficulty starting or flickering dashboard lights may appear. Additionally, the capacity and voltage of an aging battery decrease, making it unable to start the car after just one or two attempts. Methods to Maintain the Battery and Extend Its Lifespan: Turn off all electrical devices before shutting down the engine. Avoid using electrical devices when the engine is not running. After each start, let the engine idle for at least half an hour to allow the battery to recharge sufficiently. If the vehicle is parked or unused for an extended period, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent natural discharge.

Does a new car come with water damage insurance?

After purchasing commercial insurance for a new car, which includes comprehensive coverage, water damage insurance is part of the package. In addition to water damage insurance, it also covers total loss due to theft, standalone glass breakage, spontaneous combustion, no-deductible coverage, and special provisions for cases where a third party cannot be identified. However, compulsory traffic insurance alone does not include these coverages. Below are relevant details: Compulsory Traffic Insurance: After purchasing a new car, the first step is to buy compulsory traffic insurance. Once this is completed, you can proceed to purchase commercial insurance for the vehicle. Commercial insurance is optional based on your driving needs and is not mandatory. Scope of Water Damage Insurance: Water damage insurance applies in situations where the insured vehicle is submerged up to the exhaust pipe or intake manifold due to heavy rain or flooding, and the driver attempts to start the vehicle or uses inertia to start it; or when the vehicle is started without necessary repairs after being exposed to heavy rain or flooding. In these two scenarios, purchasing water damage insurance is necessary to receive corresponding compensation.
