The Tharu is not available in black. Its color options include Lake Blue, Modern Gold, Ink Gray, Carbon Crystal Gray, Elegant Brown, and Pure White. Taking the 2021 Tharu as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a curb weight of 1405kg. The 2021 Tharu features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving a black Volkswagen Tharu, and it feels particularly stylish yet understated. I chose black because it's a classic color that never goes out of style, unlike flashy colors that can get tiresome to look at. In terms of maintenance, I have to wash the car once a week; otherwise, dust becomes very noticeable, especially when driving in the city. Among Volkswagen's standard colors, there are basics like black, white, and gray, and black is usually always available. When I bought the car, I saw the actual vehicle at the 4S dealership—the black paint had a strong texture, and paired with the body lines, it looked very imposing. Other options like metallic silver are also cool, but black tends to have a higher resale value. I suggest car owners consider the climate when choosing a color: black cars heat up quickly in summer, but as long as the air conditioning is powerful, it's fine. Regular waxing can make the paint last longer, saving a lot of hassle. Color is a matter of personal preference, and I think black looks particularly commanding on an SUV. On long drives, it stands out more under nighttime lighting, which also adds a bit to safety. In short, choosing a black Tharu is the right call.

Can the battery be charged directly in the car?

It is possible to charge the battery directly in the car. When starting the car, the starter requires a large current, which a regular charger cannot provide. If the battery is dead, the car won't start. The principle of charging is that the voltage must be about 20% higher than the battery's voltage to charge it effectively. Too high a voltage can damage the battery, while too low a voltage won't charge it. Uses of car batteries: 1. For starting and lighting in cars, motorcycles, tractors, diesel engines, etc.; 2. As backup power for protection and automatic control in communications, power plants, and computer systems; 3. As power sources for various battery-powered vehicles, forklifts, and loaders; 4. For starting and lighting power in diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, and passenger trains.

What are the differences between water-based and oil-based car paints?

Different raw materials for oil-based and water-based paints: Oil-based paints primarily use drying oil as the main raw material. Water-based paints are mainly composed of water, containing no toxic substances such as benzene, formaldehyde, or xylene, and no organic solvents, hence referred to as coatings. 2. Different production methods for oil-based and water-based paints: Water-based paints use water as a diluent, with no pungent odor, which gives people a special preference for them. The production process of oil-based paints is more complex, requiring multiple steps and equipment for processing, whereas water-based paints involve significantly fewer production steps compared to oil-based paints. 3. Different hazards of oil-based and water-based paints: Generally, when oil-based paints are used for painting, the residual odor and hazards persist for a relatively long time. In contrast, water-based paints, compared to oil-based paints, are characterized by being non-hazardous and free from so-called dilution volatilization.

What Causes the Whistling Sound When Accelerating?

Possible reasons for the whistling sound when accelerating: 1. Insufficient engine oil level: This reduces the oil pump's output or prevents oil from being pumped due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. 2. Overheating engine: This can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the clearances and resulting in decreased oil pressure. 3. Damaged or excessively worn oil pump components, or excessive clearance due to assembly issues: This can cause the oil pump to fail to deliver oil or deliver insufficient oil. 4. Improper clearance between the crankshaft and bearings (main or connecting rod bearings): Too tight a fit increases oil pressure, while too loose a fit decreases it. 5. Clogged oil filter or oil pickup screen can also reduce oil pressure. 6. Faulty or malfunctioning pressure relief valve.

Is 11 liters per 100 kilometers considered high fuel consumption?

Under normal circumstances, the fuel consumption for compact cars is between 6-10 liters per 100 kilometers, while mid-size cars consume 8-12 liters per 100 kilometers, and large cars consume 12-18 liters per 100 kilometers. Therefore, if it's an SUV or a high-displacement model, this falls within the normal range. However, if it's a compact family car or a small-displacement model, this would be considered abnormally high fuel consumption. Reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. The car is still in the break-in period: During the break-in process, friction between parts is greater, requiring more energy and thus consuming more fuel; 2. Insufficient tire pressure: This increases fuel consumption, and if the tires are severely worn, frequent slipping can occur, which also increases fuel consumption; 3. When there is significant engine carbon buildup in a short period, it can also lead to higher vehicle fuel consumption.

Can I Get a New Tire Replacement if It Bulges Within a Month of Purchase?

New car tire bulging within a month can be replaced. Tire bulge caused by impact or compression: The most common scenario is when the car hits a curb at high speed or at an inappropriate angle. In such cases, there are usually signs of impact, such as surface scratches or white impact marks inside the bulged area of the tire. Careful inspection will reveal subtle differences. Tire quality issues: One possibility is that the tire's internal cord wires have quality defects leading to insufficient local strength; another is poor handling of the cord ply joints. Bulges caused by quality issues show no marks on the tire's surface or inside at the bulged area. Insufficient tire structural strength: The tire market is highly competitive. Low-cost tires may reduce the number of cord or nylon layers or use inferior cord plies to cut costs, compromising the tire's strength. Even minor impacts can cause bulging.

Is 7.5L/100km Considered High Fuel Consumption?

If road conditions are good without congestion, for small 1.3L models, this would be considered relatively high fuel consumption. For compact models between 1.3L to 1.6L, it falls into the medium range and is within normal fuel consumption levels. As for mid-size vehicles or SUVs with 1.6-2.0L engines, this would be considered low fuel consumption. Relevant information about vehicle fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Factors affecting vehicle fuel consumption: The level of vehicle fuel consumption depends not only on the engine displacement, transmission type, and vehicle size, but also on the driver's habits and road conditions. 2. Assessing fuel consumption from practical situations: If frequently driving on highways or elevated roads, the vehicle's fuel consumption will be relatively low, as the roads are more open and the average driving speed is higher.
