I'm knowledgeable about automotive platform technologies. The Lexus ES is indeed built on Toyota's TNGA platform, specifically the TNGA-K variant designed for front-engine, front-wheel-drive vehicles. Adopted since the seventh-generation ES (2018 onwards), this platform delivers significant improvements: enhanced body rigidity, reduced weight, and noticeably more stable and responsive handling. The driving experience features crisp steering feedback, reduced urban noise levels, and confident high-speed cornering without floatiness. The platform also integrates advanced safety systems, resulting in higher crash test ratings and improved fuel efficiency – the ES300h hybrid version achieves an official rating of approximately 4.2L/100km. As a global architecture, it shares components to streamline production, lowering costs while strengthening reliability. For maintenance, this platform facilitates easier fault diagnosis, though professional tools are required for data reading. Overall, it elevates both driving enjoyment and practicality in commendable ways.

What are the methods to deal with fogging on car windows when using air conditioning in summer?

Methods to deal with fogging on car windows when using air conditioning in summer include using the air conditioning system to remove fog, opening windows for air drying, applying soapy water, and using defogging agents. The reason for fogging on car windows is due to the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle in the current environment. Methods to deal with fogging on car windows when using air conditioning in summer: Use the air conditioning system to remove fog. This method can be used in both winter and summer. Turn on the internal and external air circulation to allow sufficient airflow, which speeds up the evaporation of fog. This can also quickly remove moisture from the windows. Additionally, periodically switching the air circulation helps purify the air inside the car, making the ride more comfortable. Open windows for air drying. When the fog is not severe, you can slightly open both windows to allow air convection, which eliminates the temperature difference on both sides of the windshield, making it difficult for fog to form. Apply soapy water. You can apply soapy water to the inside and outside of the front windows, then use the wipers to wipe once or twice. The soapy water on the inside of the front windows can be gently wiped with a tissue until it is semi-dry. Once the soapy water is completely dry, the front windows will not fog up. Use defogging agents. The principle of defogging agents is simple: spraying a layer on the windshield forms a protective film that prevents the condensation of fog. However, the effectiveness of this protective film is short-lived, requiring repeated applications to maintain the effect.
