Beijing Hyundai Lafesta is equipped with an automatic transmission, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The Beijing Hyundai Lafesta is a compact car launched by Beijing Hyundai, with dimensions of 4660mm in length, 1790mm in width, and 1425mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is powered by a 1.6T turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 140kw. The Beijing Hyundai Lafesta incorporates Hyundai's new family-style design language, applying fluid sculpture design to create a sporty feel through its fastback body and dynamic lines. Its English name, LAFESTA, is derived from the Italian word for 'festival,' with the official emphasis on its sporty and youthful style.

Yes, the Beijing Hyundai Fista does indeed have an automatic transmission version. Taking the new car I've been looking at recently as an example, the 2023 Fista primarily features a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This design ensures smooth acceleration and fuel efficiency, making it particularly suitable for driving in congested urban areas—no more frequent clutch pressing. However, I should remind you that the base models might still offer a manual transmission option, which is great for those who seek driving fun or want to save some money. During the test drive, I found the automatic transmission incredibly easy to handle, with precise steering, and the sport mode on highways delivered quick responses. Nowadays, most people opt for automatic transmissions when buying a car because of the convenience, especially for new drivers who want to reduce stress. In terms of maintenance, Hyundai's transmission has a low failure rate, and upkeep is straightforward—just an oil change now and then, with no major issues. Overall, the automatic transmission in the Fista is one of the standard features, and its performance is reliable.

How to Unlock a Changan Car When the Key is Locked Inside?

If your Changan car key is locked inside the vehicle, you can use the following methods to unlock it: 1. Use the spare key: Carry the mechanical key with you as a precaution. The spare mechanical key can only unlock the door but cannot start the vehicle, so even if it is lost, there is no need to worry about someone driving the car away. 2. Call the 4S store: Nowadays, 4S stores offer after-sales rescue services. Whether it's an electronic or mechanical failure or a driving mistake, simply call the 4S store to get rescue services. 3. Contact a locksmith: Usually, you will need to wait 1-2 hours and provide relevant documents, including your ID card and vehicle registration certificate, to prove that the car belongs to you. 4. Break the glass to retrieve the key: Choose the side windows of the front or rear doors. When breaking the glass, be quick, accurate, and forceful to avoid injury from glass shards. Never choose to break the windshield, especially the triangular window, as the matching and repair costs later on will be very high.

Can You Wash Your Car Right After It Snows?

You should wash your car promptly after it snows, even if the weather forecast predicts more snow in the coming days. Don't delay washing your car.

If confirmed, you could face a penalty of 12 demerit points. Therefore, always remember to clean the snow off your license plate after snowfall.

How Long Should Idle Charging Last?

If the car has been parked for 10 days without moving, idling for 10 minutes is sufficient for charging. However, if it has been parked for more than 20 minutes, at least 20 minutes of charging is required. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Idling: The car can be charged while idling in place. If the usual purpose is just to help replenish the battery, idling is sufficient. When the car is completely out of power, charging at 1500 rpm for 20 minutes can provide enough power for the starter to start the engine once. Charging at 1500 rpm for 30 minutes can provide enough power for a start the next day. If charging at 1500 rpm for more than 60 minutes, the battery can be almost fully charged. 2. Note: When the car is not used for a long time while away, it is advisable to unplug the power cord to prevent severe battery discharge. If you forget, you can ask family or friends to help start the car for charging. It is also a good idea to keep a set of jumper cables in the car for emergencies.

Can Gasoline Be Purchased for Storage?

Gasoline can be purchased for storage. However, it is not recommended to store it at home. Gasoline is highly flammable and volatile, making it extremely unsafe to keep in residential areas. Introduction to Gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the fractional distillation and cracking of petroleum, used as fuel. Appearance of Gasoline: It appears as a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. The main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades based on octane ratings, such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95, respectively.

Why is there rust inside the wheels of a new car?

It is normal for the steel rims inside new car tires to have surface rust, as they are made of cast iron, and this generally does not affect their normal use. Many car models use aluminum alloy to make the wheel hubs. The advantage of aluminum alloy is that it is sturdy and durable, but the downside is that it is susceptible to acid. Aluminum is easily oxidized when exposed to acid, and if placed in a strong acidic environment, aluminum alloy wheel hubs can indeed corrode. Specific details are as follows: 1. Rust condition: If the rust on the brake disc is minimal, no special treatment is needed, as the slight rust will be removed during braking while driving. If the rust is more severe, it may cause vibrations or shaking during braking, such as brake pad vibration, steering wheel vibration or shaking, or body vibration. 2. Timely maintenance: Severe rust is difficult to remove through braking, and even if the rust is removed, it may cause brake vibration due to uneven thickness of the brake disc. Therefore, it is necessary to perform maintenance on the brake disc every two months to prevent the rust from becoming too severe.
