The BYD Song Pro adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. It features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with a unibody construction. Advantages of front-engine, front-wheel drive: Eliminates the need for a driveshaft, reducing vehicle weight and creating a more compact structure; efficiently utilizes engine compartment space, providing a more spacious cabin while lowering floor height for improved ride comfort; with the engine positioned close to the drive wheels, it achieves higher power transmission efficiency and better fuel economy. BYD Song Pro's engine: The vehicle is powered by a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with a wet dual-clutch transmission. It delivers a maximum power output of 136kW (185PS) and peak torque of 288Nm. Dimensions: The BYD Song Pro measures 4,650mm in length, 1,860mm in width, and 1,700mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,712mm.

As a car enthusiast, I've driven my friend's BYD Song Pro several times, which is quite popular among urban SUVs. The base models of this car are all front-wheel drive (FWD), delivering power to the front wheels, which provides a great driving experience in daily use—nimble steering and easy handling, especially on congested streets or during low-speed turns where it's less prone to skidding. The benefits of FWD also include lower fuel consumption, simpler structure for easier maintenance, and cost advantages. Compared to rear-wheel drive (RWD) cars, which are more tuned for performance and road feel, the Song Pro leans more toward practicality, making it ideal for family commuting. However, it's worth noting that higher trim levels may offer all-wheel drive (AWD) options, suitable for slippery roads or light off-roading. If you prioritize fuel economy and ease of driving, FWD is more than sufficient, but it's best to confirm the configuration based on your route preferences when choosing a car.

What items need maintenance for a car at 20,000 kilometers?

Regular maintenance items for a car at 20,000 kilometers include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, etc. Below is extended information about car maintenance at 20,000 kilometers: 1. Changing the engine oil and oil filter is essential: Due to the harsh conditions of high temperature and pressure inside the engine, the shelf life of engine oil is significantly shortened, and its performance greatly declines. Over time, it fails to protect the engine. The oil filter prevents impurities from mixing into the oil, which can cause oxidation, leading to the formation of sludge and clogging the oil passages. Therefore, both the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced simultaneously. 2. If the air filter and cabin air filter were not replaced during the 10,000-kilometer maintenance, they must be replaced at the 20,000-kilometer service. 3. If the car uses standard material spark plugs, preparations should be made to replace them at 20,000 kilometers.

What does the engine light on the car mean?

When the engine fault light appears on a car, it indicates that there is an issue with the engine that requires inspection. Here are some details about the engine indicator light: 1. Generally, when starting the car, the onboard computer performs a self-check of the entire system, and all indicator lights will briefly illuminate. After the startup is complete, the indicator lights should turn off. 2. If the fault light remains on after the car has started, an inspection is necessary. 3. The engine indicator light is used to display the working condition of the vehicle's engine. If it stays on continuously, it means there is a mechanical fault with the engine that requires repair.

What are the causes of a blown cylinder head gasket?

The causes of a blown cylinder head gasket are as follows: 1. When installing the cylinder head, the bolts were not tightened in the required sequence or the tightening torque was insufficient, causing the cylinder head gasket to blow during engine operation. 2. Diesel engines operating for a long time under conditions of excessively early fuel injection, leading to an excessively high pressure rise rate during the rapid combustion phase, exceeding allowable limits and resulting in a blown cylinder head gasket. 3. Deformation of the cylinder head or excessive variation in the height of the cylinder liners above the engine block surface, causing some cylinder bores to be inadequately compressed during installation, leading to a blown gasket. 4. Poor manufacturing quality of the cylinder head gasket, deformation of the gasket, or uneven or notched cylinder liner flanges can also cause the gasket to blow.

How to reset the maintenance light of JAC Shuailing T6?

You can use the universal special diagnostic tool TECH2 to reset it, or manually reset it using the buttons on the right side of the dashboard. Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously, then turn on the ignition switch. After about 3 seconds, release both arrow buttons. The maintenance menu will ask if you want to reset. Press and hold the SET button for more than 3 seconds, press the MODE button, and then turn off the ignition switch to complete the reset. Below is an introduction to the maintenance light: 1. The function of the maintenance light is to record the mileage of important components, similar to a timer in a sprint race, serving as a reminder for car owners and maintenance personnel. 2. If the owner replaces related parts, the corresponding car maintenance light needs to be reset. 3. If the owner replaces related parts but does not reset the light, it will not affect the vehicle's performance, but it will cause trouble for the next replacement of car parts: the exact usage time of the new parts cannot be accurately known.

How to Determine When to Replace Brake Fluid?

Determining whether brake fluid needs replacement is typically done by measuring its water content. Generally, brake fluid should be replaced every two years, as it is crucial for the proper functioning of a vehicle's braking system. Methods to determine if brake fluid needs replacement are as follows: 1. Water content testing pen: Insert the testing pen into the brake fluid reservoir. If the water content exceeds 3%, the brake fluid should be replaced. 2. Duration of operation: Studies show that for a new car, after 12 months of operation, the water content in brake fluid is about 2%; after 18 months, it can reach 3%; and after five years or more, the water content can be as high as 7-8%. It is recommended to replace the brake fluid if the water content exceeds 3%.
