Is smart a Geely car?

smart is not entirely a Geely car. Currently, smart is under the Daimler Group. However, in July 2020, Geely Automobile officially signed a cooperation agreement with Mercedes-Benz to establish a joint venture in China to produce Mercedes-Benz smart domestically. As a result, Geely is not only the largest shareholder of Mercedes-Benz but also a partner. Additional information: 1. The first domestically produced smart model is designed by Mercedes-Benz, with Geely responsible for production and development. The internal code is HX11, and the new car will be built on Geely's SEA vast architecture platform. It is expected that the changes in the exterior design will not be significant. The body length will be increased, potentially exceeding 4 meters, with a pure electric range of 500 kilometers. 2. smart is a microcar jointly manufactured by German Mercedes-Benz and Swiss SWATCH watch company, currently under the Daimler Group. The 'S' stands for Swatch, 'M' for Mercedes-Benz, and 'art' represents the perfect combination of Swatch and Mercedes as a work of art. The name 'smart' itself in English also means clever and intelligent, which aligns with the design philosophy of the smart company.

As a regular car owner who frequently follows automotive news, I can tell you that smart is indeed related to Geely now. In 2019, Geely and Daimler established a joint venture with each holding a 50% stake to jointly operate the smart brand, which changed the previous situation of relying solely on Mercedes-Benz. Nowadays, new smart models like the #1 are produced based on Geely's electric vehicle platform and have become more popular in the Chinese market. Maintenance services have also become much more convenient, with more authorized dealerships available in many cities. I've driven the new smart model and found it quite smooth to handle, with a design that still retains its European flair. After Geely's investment, the price has dropped a bit, making it quite suitable for daily users like me—fuel-efficient and stylish.

What causes the car horn sound to become weaker?

There are several reasons why a car horn's sound may become weaker: 1. Original volume of the audio file: If the music file itself has a low bitrate, the volume may be small. For the same playback device, this generally isn't too small and can be ruled out. 2. Volume of the software player: The software player must also be set to maximum volume, otherwise there will be no sound. If this is the issue, simply adjust the volume to an appropriate level. 3. Electromagnetic interference: This cause is more complex, as many electrical devices, whether connected to the computer or not, can cause electromagnetic interference. However, this is relatively easy to troubleshoot.
