Chery is not necessarily more fuel-efficient than joint venture cars. A car's fuel consumption is determined by multiple factors, such as driver operation, road conditions, and the vehicle itself. Factors affecting fuel consumption: There are many factors that affect a car's fuel consumption, including driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, and more. Additionally, the car's exterior design also impacts fuel consumption—the lower the drag coefficient, the lower the fuel consumption. Direct factors influencing fuel consumption: The true determinant of a vehicle's fuel consumption is how many strokes the engine completes within a specified time and distance. Strokes refer to the engine's RPM. Therefore, only when both displacement and RPM are low will the car's fuel consumption be lower, as these factors are interrelated.

Our family has been driving the Chery Tiggo 7 for two years now, while my friend owns a Honda CR-V in the same class. We often go on long trips together, and I've closely observed the fuel consumption. Chery's 1.6T engine is indeed quite fuel-efficient on highways, showing around 6L during cruising, whereas my friend's Honda consumes about 7.5L. However, the difference isn't as noticeable in city traffic jams—mine averages around 9L, while my friend's is just over 10L. Of course, it depends on the specific model; older QQ models definitely aren't as fuel-efficient as the new Civics. I think it mainly comes down to engine tuning and vehicle weight. Nowadays, domestic brands aren't as fuel-guzzling as one might imagine, especially Chery's newer models—they're truly economical on highways. Recently, I also noticed their newly released Kunpeng Power achieves a thermal efficiency of over 40%, with impressive technical specifications.

How to take out the mini spare tire?

Mini cars do not come with a spare tire. When a MINI tire has a puncture or other emergencies, you can only drive slowly and safely to the nearest repair shop or wait for support on the spot. Here is some relevant information: 1. Generally, passenger cars are equipped with a spare tire, which should not be used for a long time. The spare tire is used less frequently and has less friction with the ground. Some spare tires are smaller in size than the regular tires, and their aspect ratio, width, or diameter may differ from the tires in normal use. Therefore, after replacing with a spare tire, the four tires will have different friction coefficients, ground adhesion, and air pressure. Long-term use may affect the vehicle's braking system, steering system, and suspension system, posing potential safety hazards. 2. Spare tires are divided into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. Full-size spare tires have the same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tires are slightly smaller in diameter and width than the other four tires, so they can only be used as a temporary replacement and should only be used on non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h.

What are the reasons for an automatic transmission car not accelerating when stepping on the gas?

Automatic transmission car not accelerating when stepping on the gas may be due to fuel supply system failure, failure to control fuel pressure, fuel injection volume or ignition timing as required, or problems with spark plugs and high-voltage wires. Fuel supply system failure: The biggest power source for car acceleration is the engine, and the engine is driven by fuel. Therefore, if there is a problem with the fuel supply system, the speed naturally cannot increase normally as required during rapid acceleration. Failure to control fuel pressure, fuel injection volume or ignition timing as required: During rapid acceleration of the car, fuel pressure, fuel injection volume, and ignition timing are all critical factors. If these three points do not meet the specifications, it is very likely that the car's speed cannot increase. Problems with spark plugs and high-voltage wires: Spark plugs and high-voltage wires are important components of the car. The main function of the spark plug is to generate sparks to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder, thereby increasing the car's speed. Therefore, when there are problems with the spark plugs and high-voltage wires, the speed may not increase during rapid acceleration of the car.

What are the industry standards and technical specifications for automotive maintenance?

Automotive maintenance industry standards and technical specifications are the normative technical standards for the maintenance, inspection, and diagnosis of in-use vehicles in the automotive repair and inspection industry. Introduction: Vehicle insurance, also known as motor vehicle insurance or auto insurance, refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers liability for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. Auto insurance is a category of property insurance. Within the field of property insurance, auto insurance is a relatively young type of coverage, as it emerged and developed alongside the appearance and popularization of automobiles. Unlike modern motor vehicle insurance, early auto insurance primarily focused on third-party liability coverage and gradually expanded to include risks such as collision damage to the vehicle body. Classification: Commercial auto insurance is an open policy, divided into basic coverage and additional coverage, where additional coverage cannot be purchased independently. Basic coverage includes third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance (comprehensive coverage). Additional coverage includes total theft insurance (theft coverage), onboard liability insurance, no-fault liability insurance, cargo falling liability insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, vehicle downtime loss insurance, spontaneous combustion loss insurance, new equipment loss insurance, and deductible waiver insurance.

What are the consequences of not changing the clutch fluid for a long time?

Clutch fluid is actually brake fluid. If it is not replaced for a long time, it will reduce braking force, causing air resistance in the brake lines, which affects braking performance. Additionally, it may corrode the brake lines, leading to damage to the internal valves of the anti-lock braking hydraulic assembly, severely impacting the transmission response of the brake system. Furthermore, prolonged use of brake fluid can cause wear to the rubber cups and pistons in the brake pump, resulting in cloudy brake fluid. Here is some related information: 1. Replacement cycle: Normally, the replacement cycle for brake fluid is every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. However, in actual use, it is necessary to conduct regular checks based on the actual usage environment to see if the brake fluid has oxidized or deteriorated. 2. Symptoms of insufficient clutch fluid: Symptoms of insufficient clutch fluid include the clutch pedal feeling softer than before and the clutch failing to work properly. In most cases, it affects the complete separation of the clutch plate after pressing the clutch pedal. In manual transmission vehicles, the connection between the engine and transmission power mainly relies on the clutch plate, and controlling the clutch pedal essentially controls the disengagement and engagement of the clutch plate.

What are the reasons for increasing car fuel consumption?

Here are the reasons why car fuel consumption is increasing: 1. Spark plugs not replaced: Spark plugs are often overlooked. Even if they can still function after their lifespan, they may cause delayed ignition due to insufficient energy, missing the optimal ignition timing. This also leads to incomplete combustion, further increasing fuel consumption. 2. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, leading to greater friction and thus higher driving resistance, which raises fuel consumption. Insufficient pressure also shortens tire lifespan and increases the risk of blowouts on highways. Therefore, tire pressure should be checked regularly, at least every two months. If the car has a tire pressure monitoring system, it can be checked directly; otherwise, each tire should be manually measured with a tire pressure gauge. 3. Incorrect sensor data: For example, the coolant temperature sensor and oxygen sensor. If these sensors are not completely broken but provide inaccurate data, they won’t trigger a warning light, making it hard to detect without checking the data stream via a computer. For instance, if the coolant temperature sensor shows a lower temperature or the oxygen sensor indicates excessive oxygen content, the computer may inject more fuel, leading to incomplete combustion and higher fuel consumption. 4. Excessive carbon buildup: Carbon deposits can accumulate in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon in any of these areas can cause incomplete combustion, thereby increasing fuel consumption.
