As a car enthusiast, I got hooked after driving the BMW i8 – it's definitely a plug-in hybrid! This car combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering explosive power that rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 4 seconds – absolutely stunning. In pure electric mode, it can travel about 37 kilometers, which is perfect for city driving and whisper-quiet. I adore the butterfly door design – head-turning yet practical, sealing you in serene silence. At car meetups, everyone praises its energy efficiency – the hybrid system slashes fuel costs and is way greener than pure gasoline sports cars. BMW used a carbon fiber body to reduce weight, boosting overall efficiency and making the drive silky smooth. Sadly, it’s discontinued now, but the used market is hot – totally worth a try! In short, it redefines hybrid performance – don’t miss experiencing this tech marvel.

Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Tiggo 8?

The rearview mirror heating button on the Tiggo 8 shares the same button with the rear windshield heating. Among the physical air conditioning buttons, there is one with a small rearview mirror icon next to the front windshield symbol - that's the button. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog from the mirror. This eliminates the need for drivers to frequently wipe the mirrors manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric mirror adjustment button - simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel - just press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed as there's an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly raise the temperature to a fixed level (usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius) within minutes, with heat radiating from both side mirrors. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller and fog gradually disappears, effectively defrosting and demisting the mirrors. However, the effect may be less noticeable during particularly heavy rain. Precautions for using rearview mirror heating: The heating principle involves electric heating wires embedded in the mirrors, which consume significant power. Always ensure the vehicle is running when using this function. Avoid activating rearview mirror heating when the car is stationary to prevent battery drain that might leave insufficient power to start the engine. Other methods for rearview mirror defogging include: Window convection: Open both side windows slightly to create air flow between inside and outside the car, reducing temperature differences and allowing fog to gradually disappear. Adjust the car's air conditioning to an appropriate setting to use warm air for defogging.

Is Volvo a Domestic Car?

Volvo is a domestic car. Volvo's passenger car business has been wholly acquired by Geely, so theoretically, it is a Chinese enterprise. Therefore, there is no need to establish joint ventures with domestic car brands in accordance with China's relevant laws and regulations. Instead, it can independently build factories in China to produce vehicles, just like a purely local Chinese automaker. Below is relevant information: 1. Unlike other purely local brands, Volvo is also a foreign brand with a significant portion of its business overseas. Before being acquired by Geely, its operations in China accounted for only a very small part of its market share, and its vehicle factories were all located outside China. After the acquisition by Geely, according to its post-transformation strategy, Volvo plans to vigorously develop the Chinese market, leveraging the enormous potential of China's market to aid the brand's revival. 2. Given that some of Volvo's high-end and non-volume models (such as the XC90, V90, and V60) in China are still sold as fully imported vehicles, to distinguish them from imported Volvos, Volvo must use a separate name for its domestically produced models (Volvo Asia Pacific). Some models produced in Volvo's Chinese factories also bear the responsibility of exporting to the entire Asia-Pacific region. Hence, the name "Volvo Asia Pacific," which essentially means "Volvo China," came into being.
