Geely Boyue is not a joint venture car. It is purely domestic, but after Geely acquired Volvo, it absorbed and introduced many technologies, and has also made great progress in industrial design. SUV model: As an SUV model, it is normal for the Boyue to have relatively high fuel consumption. Compared with sedans, the inherent characteristics of SUVs lead to higher fuel consumption, such as higher ground clearance, greater wind resistance, a more robust body, and especially greater weight. Vehicle weight up to 1.67 tons: The automatic transmission version of the Boyue weighs up to 1.67 tons, which is 40% heavier than a Class A sedan, so it is normal for it to have higher fuel consumption. Compared with models in the same class, the Boyue has higher fuel consumption due to its larger engine displacement.

Is the Geely Boyue a joint venture car? No, it is purely domestically produced. I have been driving a Boyue since last year and feel quite satisfied with it. I often talk about this when driving. Joint venture cars refer to those produced through cooperation between foreign brands and domestic companies, such as Shanghai Volkswagen or FAW Toyota, which involve foreign technology participation. However, Geely is a local Chinese brand, and the Boyue is an SUV they developed themselves, entirely manufactured domestically without any involvement from foreign companies. Before buying the car, I checked the information: Geely is an independent enterprise that started as a self-owned brand, and its technology has become increasingly mature. The Boyue's fuel consumption and interior are quite cost-effective. Compared to the higher prices of joint venture cars, the Boyue is more affordable, which makes me even prouder to support domestic products. It is quiet and comfortable to drive daily, which is the advantage of self-owned brands—no complicated joint venture issues. Those who want to buy can proceed with confidence.

As an automotive enthusiast, I've been following various car models for years. The Geely Boyue is not a joint-venture vehicle; it's an independent brand SUV from Geely Auto. Joint-venture cars typically involve international collaborations, such as Changan Ford or Dongfeng Nissan, but the Boyue is different: Geely developed it exclusively in China without introducing foreign partners. I've studied the Boyue's technical details—it uses domestically produced engines and intelligent systems, with a design tailored to Chinese users' needs, offering spacious interiors at an affordable price. During my test drive, I found its handling responsive and the interior materials solid. In terms of branding, Geely started from scratch and has become a mainstream independent automaker, proving that domestic products can excel. Compared to the higher maintenance costs of joint-venture cars, the Boyue is both reliable and cost-effective, making it a solid choice. If you're curious about the definition of a joint-venture, simply put, it refers to vehicles produced by Sino-foreign cooperative enterprises, but the Boyue doesn't fall into that category.

What are the effects of a faulty intake air temperature sensor?

Intake air temperature sensor failure can affect the car, causing difficulties in starting, unstable idling, and reduced power. Below is relevant information about the intake air temperature sensor: 1. Function: As a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, the intake air temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the intake air flow. When the intake air temperature rises, the resistance value decreases, and when the intake air temperature drops, the resistance value increases. The change in resistance in the intake air temperature sensor circuit causes voltage fluctuations, generating a different voltage signal. The ECU uses this voltage signal to calculate the actual temperature of the intake air flow and thereby adjusts the engine's fuel injection and ignition. 2. Fault Analysis: Poor contact in the intake air temperature sensor's ground wire will cause abnormal low temperature readings in the data stream. Low-temperature air has higher density, increasing the fuel injection pulse width and resulting in an overly rich air-fuel mixture. If the sensor is short-circuited, the data stream will show abnormally high temperature readings. High-temperature air has lower density, reducing the fuel injection pulse width and causing an overly lean air-fuel mixture. The higher the intake air temperature sensor's reading, the richer the air-fuel mixture. A broken sensor or poor grounding can cause an overly lean mixture, leading to starting difficulties.

Does not returning the steering wheel to the center position damage the car?

Not returning the steering wheel to the center position can indeed damage the car. Below is an introduction to the potential damages caused by not centering the steering wheel: 1. Damage to the steering system: If the steering wheel is not centered when parking, the wheels will pull the steering tie rod, preventing it from returning to its original position. At the same time, the steering wheel's gears and the tie rod's rack will remain under stress. 2. Damage to the suspension system: This can lead to the aging of the shock-absorbing rubber in the suspension system, and play (looseness) may develop at the connection points of the suspension's swing arms and links. The greater the play, the more severe the wear becomes, creating a vicious cycle. 3. Damage to the tires: Uneven force distribution on the tires will accelerate the aging and deformation of the tire sidewalls. Once the sidewalls age and deform, it may lead to air leakage or tire blowouts.

Is Compulsory Traffic Insurance and Vehicle and Vessel Tax Mandatory to Purchase?

Both compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax are mandatory purchases. The vehicle and vessel tax is included as a tax fee when purchasing compulsory traffic insurance, while compulsory traffic insurance is a nationally mandated insurance. Without purchasing it, you cannot drive on the road. Otherwise, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," you may face a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Article 95 stipulates: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display an inspection compliance mark, insurance mark, or does not carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the necessary procedures. Compulsory traffic insurance, also known as compulsory liability insurance for motor vehicle traffic accidents, is clearly defined in China's "Regulations on Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents" regarding its compensation scope. Insurance companies are required to compensate for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured motor vehicle, within the liability limits. The compulsory liability insurance for motor vehicle traffic accidents implements a unified liability limit nationwide. The liability limits are divided into death and disability compensation limits, medical expense compensation limits, property loss compensation limits, and compensation limits for the insured's non-liability in road traffic accidents. The compulsory traffic insurance liability limit refers to the maximum compensation amount that the insurance company will bear for all victims' personal injuries, deaths, and property losses in each accident during the insurance period (usually one year).

Can I schedule the Subject 3 exam on the 30th day?

Normally, you can schedule the Subject 3 exam on the 30th day. However, if less than 30 days have passed since Subject 1, you cannot schedule it. But if more than 30 days have passed since Subject 1, you can schedule it. Scheduling conditions: The second condition is the number of logged days. This depends on the actual situation. Many places do not enforce the rule that requires 30 days of logging or prohibits scheduling Subject 3 before 30 days, as smaller cities have fewer learners and don't need this requirement. However, many large cities enforce this rule. Subject 3 scheduling process: After passing the Subject 2 exam, starting from the date on the "Motor Vehicle Driving Permit Examination Skill Certificate," you can log in to the online registration website 20 days after passing Subject 1. Click "Online Exam Scheduling" in the website column of the vehicle management office. Select the exam location, and if unsure, ask your instructor. Click "Subject 3 Exam Scheduling," enter your name and other information, receive and enter the SMS verification code (about 1 minute), and schedule the exam. You will see a "Scheduling Successful" prompt. Print the Subject 3 Exam Scheduling Acceptance Receipt or check the SMS notification received within three days before the exam to go to the scheduled location.
