The Terra is equipped with an AT automatic transmission. Below are the specific details about the AT transmission: 1. The AT transmission is an automatic transmission. Some AT transmissions have a manual mode, while others do not. The term "manual-automatic" refers to a type of automatic transmission that includes manual shifting capability, which describes the structural form of the transmission. 2. The AT transmission is a relatively common type of automatic transmission, containing many planetary gears inside that rely on these gears to change speed and torque. 3. The AT transmission is connected to the engine via a torque converter. This type of transmission offers smooth shifting and is known for its high reliability and durability.

I've driven my friend's Terra several times, which uses a CVT transmission instead of an AT. The car feels very smooth when starting, with no noticeable gear shift shocks during acceleration, making it particularly suitable for city traffic jams. It's effortless to drive and quite fuel-efficient, saving an average of one or two liters per 100km. However, CVT maintenance requires attention—if frequently climbing hills or accelerating hard, the steel belt may wear out sooner. Overall, it's quite suitable for family use, with high comfort and low noise, though the power response is slightly weaker during long-distance highway driving.

From a technical perspective, the Terra's transmission is essentially CVT-based, not a traditional AT. AT transmissions exhibit gear-shifting jerks, while CVT offers stepless shifting, providing better smoothness and fuel efficiency. Nissan models prefer CVT due to its lower cost and higher efficiency. When driving the Terra, acceleration is linear, but when fully loaded and climbing hills, power delivery may not be as direct as some AT models. Regular maintenance and checking the transmission fluid are crucial to avoid issues.

Before buying a used Terra, I did my homework. The transmission is usually configured with a CVT. It drives quieter and smoother than an AT, especially comfortable for low-speed city driving. The downside is that maintenance might be a bit troublesome after long-term use, and the oil change cycle needs to be on time.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Santana in liters?

2019 Leiling has a total of 14 models, among which the fuel tank capacity of the National V version is 55 liters, and that of the National VI version is 52.8 liters. These data are officially released. The fuel grade for the 2019 Santana is 92. The National V version has a fuel consumption of 5.5 to 5.6L per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can run for 982 to 1000km; the National VI version has a fuel consumption of 5.5 to 5.6L per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can run for 942 to 960km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. Generally, when there are 2 segments left on the fuel gauge, it's time to refuel to avoid running out of fuel halfway. In the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the safety space of the tank. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity.

How many kilometers can an engine still drive normally after slight water ingress?

It is best not to continue driving if the engine has slight water ingress. Here is the relevant information: 1. Filled with a large amount of water: When the cylinder is filled with a large amount of water, the engine crankshaft cannot rotate at all. Moreover, since water is incompressible, the piston has almost no space to move upward. At this point, even if the ignition switch is turned on, the starter cannot rotate, and naturally, there is no further damage to the engine. 2. Symptoms of water ingress in the engine: When there is water in the engine fuel or combustion chamber, the water is heated by the combustion heat in the cylinder and turns into steam, which is discharged from the exhaust pipe forming white smoke. If white smoke appears after the vehicle has been through water, it is highly likely that the engine has water ingress.

Is the Changan Yuexiang very fuel-consuming?

The fuel consumption control of the Changan Yuexiang is quite good, generally around 6-7L per 100 kilometers. Below is some relevant information about the Changan Yuexiang: 1. Interior: The touch and visual feel are quite solid, tapping on the plastic parts does not produce a hollow sound, and the plastic quality is above average. It features imitation leather seats, a sunroof, a decently sized central control screen, and electric rearview mirror adjustment. Overall, it doesn't feel too "basic," as the essential configurations are all quite complete. 2. Power: The Yuexiang is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed dual-clutch transmission. This 1.5L engine produces a torque of 145 Nm.

What causes the engine to make a humming noise and accelerate slowly when stepping on the throttle?

The reasons for the engine making a humming noise and accelerating slowly when stepping on the throttle are as follows: 1. Engine fuel pump issue: A damaged engine fuel pump leads to insufficient fuel supply. Even if the driver floors the throttle, the engine RPM increases, but the fuel injection volume remains low, resulting in reduced engine power output and naturally causing sluggish acceleration. 2. Valve timing issue: To improve fuel efficiency, modern engines use CVVD valve timing systems. However, if the CVVD hydraulic control system is damaged, the sealing ring leaks oil, or the CVVT malfunctions, the engine's intake and exhaust processes are affected, naturally reducing combustion efficiency and diminishing the engine's torque output.

What does the circle exclamation mark on the Qashqai dashboard mean?

Red exclamation mark (specifically a bracket circle with an exclamation mark in the middle) represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating a brake system fault, other exclamation marks on the car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or conduct a self-inspection, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the problem.
