The Malibu XL is equipped with a 1.3T three-cylinder engine. Below are more details about this engine: 1. After a new calibration, the 1.3T three-cylinder engine delivers a maximum power of 121 kW and a maximum torque of 240 Nm. It is paired with a CVT transmission. The official data shows a top speed of 205 km/h, a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.5 seconds, and a fuel consumption of 5.9 liters per 100 km. The engine performs well in terms of low-speed burst power and high-speed acceleration capabilities. Of course, like most small-displacement turbocharged engines, there is a slight lag during initial acceleration, but once the revs pick up and the turbo kicks in, the power delivery is quite impressive. 2. This engine is paired with General Motors' first CVT transmission, which replaces the traditional steel belt with a steel chain. The transmission ratio can reach up to 7.01. During urban driving, it keeps the engine speed between 1500-2000 rpm, improving fuel economy and reducing engine noise. Thanks to the steel chain design, it avoids the slipping issues seen in some Japanese brand models.

Does brushing the line with the car body in an S-curve result in penalty points?

In the S-curve section of Subject 2 driving test, the vehicle's front can brush against the line as long as the wheels don't cross it. During the S-curve assessment in Subject 2, neither the vehicle's front nor the body will incur penalty points for brushing the line, provided the wheels don't cross it. The evaluation criteria for curve driving in "Motor Vehicle Driver Test Content and Methods" are as follows: 1. Vehicle operation: Drive the vehicle into the curve from one end and exit from the other. 2. Smoothness: Maintain steady steering and speed during driving. 3. Lane discipline: No stopping midway, and wheels must not touch or cross the lane boundary lines. 4. Gear requirement: The vehicle must be driven in second gear or higher.

What are the new regulations for annual inspection of commercial vehicles in 2021?

New regulations for annual inspection of commercial vehicles in 2021: Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; those over 5 years old must be inspected every 6 months. Below are the relevant regulations for other vehicles: 1. Non-commercial passenger cars: Including non-commercial passenger cars, non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles, and non-commercial small and mini buses with 7-9 seats (excluding vans) are included in the exemption from inspection, exempt from on-site inspection within 6 years, only requiring an inspection mark application every two years. 2. Medium and large vehicles: Trucks and large, medium non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; those over 10 years old must be inspected every 6 months.

Why can a car move when the clutch is pressed?

Pressing the clutch disconnects the engine's transmission from the wheels, preventing the engine's power from being transferred to the wheels to drive the car. Releasing the clutch connects the engine's transmission to the wheels, allowing the power to be transferred to the wheels, and the car naturally moves. Here is additional information: 1. The function of the clutch: The clutch is one of the most frequently used components. How well the clutch is used directly reflects the driver's skill level and also helps protect the vehicle. 2. The three working states of the clutch: fully disengaged when the clutch is pressed, fully engaged when the clutch is not pressed, and partially engaged when the clutch is partially pressed. When starting the vehicle, pressing the clutch pulls the pressure plate backward, separating it from the friction plate. At this point, the pressure plate and flywheel are not in contact, so there is no relative friction.

How many kilometers can you drive when the fuel gauge is empty?

For most household car models under normal circumstances, when the fuel gauge drops to empty, the majority can still travel about 10 kilometers. Below is relevant information about the fuel gauge: 1. Introduction to the fuel gauge: The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. It can be either a pointer or a digital display. The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. The low fuel warning device activates when the fuel in the tank falls below a certain level, alerting the driver immediately. 2. Working principle: The fuel gauge mainly consists of two parts: the sender unit that measures the fuel level in the tank and the fuel gauge that displays the measurement results to the driver.

How to Write a No-Accident Guarantee in Used Car Transactions?

It cannot be guaranteed because agreements generally lose legal effect after three months. Here are some precautions when buying a used car: 1. Purchase invoice date: For new cars, sometimes the invoice cannot be provided by the 4S store in time, so the invoice date may not match the actual pickup date. The invoice date serves as proof of the first purchase date when reselling later. 2. Purchase procedures: When buying a used car, pay attention to whether the dealer provides the vehicle registration certificate, driving license, purchase invoice, and other purchase documents. There are many influencing factors in the used car market, so it is necessary to check and compare more. It is best to bring a friend who understands cars to inspect the vehicle together when making an appointment.

What does it mean when winter tires exceed 50 kilometers?

Winter tires exceeding 50 kilometers refers to the speed of the tires surpassing 50 kilometers. The functions of tires are as follows: 1. Driving vehicle operation: Tires serve as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road surface, transmitting driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling operations such as driving, braking, and steering of the vehicle. 2. Supporting vehicle load: The load of the vehicle causes the tires to sink until the average pressure of the tire contact area balances with the inflation pressure inside the tire. 3. Reducing and absorbing vehicle vibrations and impacts: This prevents early damage to vehicle components caused by severe vibrations. At the same time, it adapts to the high-speed driving state of the vehicle and reduces driving noise, ensuring driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel economy.
