The new Bora is front-wheel drive. Here are the specific details about the new Bora: Product Features: Compared to the standard version, the Bora Sport edition adopts a honeycomb grille commonly seen in sports models, with the fog lights below the front bumper replaced by a three-bar grille. Additionally, it features LED taillights and comes with 17-inch smoked black sport wheels. Inside, the Bora Sport edition boasts black sport seats with red stitching, sport metal pedals, a black-and-white instrument panel, and a three-spoke sport steering wheel. In terms of power, the Bora Sport edition is equipped with a 1.4T engine paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering a maximum output of 96 kW. About the Configuration: Abundant technological features also enhance the driving pleasure of the 2016 Bora. As you approach the car, simply pull the door handle, and the keyless entry system will unlock it effortlessly; once inside, a light touch on the start button ignites the engine, offering you an immediate premium experience. The standard Electric Power Steering (EPS) system across the lineup ensures lighter and more flexible steering at low speeds, while providing steadier and more precise steering at high speeds, ensuring driving safety. Moreover, the manual transmission models and the manual mode of the automatic transmission in the 2016 Bora are equipped with shift reminder displays, making the driving experience more enjoyable and intelligent.

Speaking of the new Bora, it's definitely a favorite among veteran drivers like us. As someone who's been driving for over a decade, I pay special attention to the drivetrain. The new Bora is absolutely a front-wheel-drive (FWD) car, with a transversely mounted engine that delivers power directly to the front wheels, while the rear wheels just follow along. The most obvious advantage of this design is the significantly reduced center hump in the rear floor, making it comfortable even with three passengers—no more awkward foot placement. On my last family road trip, with the trunk packed full of tents and a barbecue grill, the FWD system handled uphill climbs with steady confidence. It's even more reassuring in rain or snow, as FWD cars are far less prone to skidding compared to rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Of course, younger drivers seeking the thrill of drifting might not fancy it as much, but for the average family, the fuel efficiency, spacious interior, and affordable maintenance of FWD are what truly matter.

Is it possible to take driving lessons and exams in a different location?

You can choose to take driving lessons and exams in a different location. Understand local driving school policies: Although Announcement No. 139 has been issued, fully allowing cross-regional applications and exams for all types of driver's licenses, applicants can apply for a driver's license in their place of residence with just an ID card and residence permit. However, if you want to take driving lessons in a different location, you must inquire with the local vehicle management department or driving schools about policies regarding non-local residents to avoid disrupting your plans. Be cautious when enrolling: When enrolling in a driving school in a different location, you must be careful not to fall into the trap of low-cost promotions by unlicensed driving schools. Always enroll in a legitimate driving school. Some driving schools charge higher tuition fees for non-local residents but may offer services like meals and accommodation. Therefore, when enrolling, make sure to consult thoroughly based on your personal situation.

What Causes Abnormal Shaking When Slowly Releasing the Clutch in First Gear?

Reasons for car shaking when slowly releasing the clutch: Uneven pressure distribution or incorrect pressure points in the car's clutch; excessive tension in the clutch pressure spring; oil contamination or damage to the driven plate lining; bending of the main or driven plates, or inconsistent heights of the release levers. Below are relevant details about the clutch: Function of the Clutch: The clutch pedal switch ensures smooth car starting, seamless gear shifting, and prevents overload in the transmission system. The switch on the clutch pedal is normally closed. When the clutch is depressed, the switch opens, and the engine control unit receives no signal from the clutch, indicating the need to disconnect the engine linkage. This reduces the ignition advance angle and fuel injection, preparing for power reserve. Working Principle of the Clutch: The clutch's driving and driven parts transmit torque through friction between contact surfaces, using liquid as a transmission medium (hydraulic coupler), or magnetic force (electromagnetic clutch). This allows temporary separation and gradual engagement, permitting mutual rotation during transmission.

What is the warranty standard for new energy vehicle batteries?

Passenger vehicle manufacturers should provide a warranty period of no less than 8 years or 120,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). According to a document issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments in 2015: From 2016 to 2020, new energy vehicle manufacturers should provide quality guarantees for energy storage devices such as power batteries, drive motors, and motor controllers to consumers. New energy vehicle batteries can indeed be replaced for free during the warranty period, but there are some restrictions. Some manufacturers also have special warranty regulations. Warranty regulations: The current warranty regulations for new energy vehicle batteries stipulate that the power battery, as an important component of the vehicle, can be replaced or refunded if any faults occur. According to the pre-revised (Regulations on the Repair, Replacement, and Return of Household Automotive Products), new energy vehicles will be included in the vehicle's three-guarantee regulations. Technological advancements: With the rapid advancement of new energy vehicle technology and the increase in vehicle ownership, to ensure the healthy development of new energy vehicles, the three-guarantee issues for batteries will be addressed by the upcoming three-guarantee law, making the actual three-guarantee basically non-problematic.

Why is the fuel consumption of Jetour X90 so high?

There are several reasons for the high fuel consumption of Jetour X90: 1. The viscosity of the replaced engine oil is too high: In different seasons or under different vehicle conditions, the suitable oil viscosity varies. Using oil with higher viscosity in vehicles with fewer kilometers will increase the internal operating resistance of the engine, leading to increased fuel consumption. 2. Overfilling of engine oil during maintenance: If there is too much oil, causing the crankshaft to be submerged in the oil, the resistance increases, and the engine load becomes heavier. Excessive oil addition will increase the burden on the piston ring oil scraper, and may even result in blue smoke from the exhaust. 3. Incorrect spark plug model or loose installation: Using inferior spark plugs or spark plugs that do not match the original model will cause an increase in fuel consumption. Additionally, if the spark plug is not tightened properly, causing air leakage, it can lead to engine weakness, unstable idle, stalling at high speeds, increased fuel consumption, or even failure to start the engine. In severe cases, it may cause spark plug failure or engine damage. 4. Throttle not being recalibrated, or tire wear, abnormal tire pressure, switching to larger-sized tires, or severe wear of the clutch friction plate.
