The Tiguan L is available in front-wheel drive and front-engine four-wheel drive configurations. Here is more information about front-wheel drive and front-engine four-wheel drive: 1. Front-wheel drive (FF) means the engine is positioned at the front and drives the front wheels. The advantages include a simple mechanical structure, good engine cooling conditions, spacious interior, easy layout, reduced vehicle weight, better fuel efficiency, and convenient maintenance. The disadvantages are that since the front wheels handle both steering and driving, high-speed stability is relatively poor, the drive wheels are prone to slipping when climbing hills, and the vehicle is more likely to roll over during high-speed descents. 2. Front-engine four-wheel drive means the engine is positioned at the front and all four wheels drive the vehicle. Since all four wheels have power, compared to designs that rely solely on front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, front-engine four-wheel drive offers superior handling performance. The advantages of front-wheel drive are all related to the drivetrain—since front-wheel drive vehicles lack a driveshaft connecting to the rear wheels, the components are fewer and more concentrated, resulting in direct power transmission. Therefore, front-wheel drive vehicles are cost-effective, efficient, spacious, lightweight, and fuel-efficient.

What is the Concept of Motor Vehicles?

Motor vehicles refer to wheeled vehicles powered or towed by power devices that are used for transporting people or goods on roads, as well as for specialized engineering operations. In practice, the most common motor vehicles include cars and trucks. The state implements a registration system for motor vehicles. Only after being registered with the traffic management department of the public security authority can a motor vehicle be driven on roads. For motor vehicles that have not yet been registered but require temporary road use, a temporary pass must be obtained. Non-motor vehicles refer to means of transportation powered by human or animal force on roads, as well as vehicles such as disabled motorized wheelchairs and electric bicycles that, although equipped with power devices, have a designed maximum speed, unladen mass, and dimensions that comply with relevant national standards. Therefore, electric bicycles that meet national standards are not classified as motor vehicles. Vehicle classification is a fundamental aspect of various vehicle standard systems. Different standards have different vehicle classification methods, which may cross-reference each other while also having their own focuses and distinctions. Only by correctly understanding and grasping the basic concepts and applicable scopes of different classification methods, and clarifying the connotation and extension of specific definitions, can relevant standard clauses be accurately applied in motor vehicle inspection practices to precisely determine vehicle types and correctly issue inspection conclusions.

Will an automatic transmission car roll back on a slope?

If an automatic transmission car is in neutral gear, it will roll forward or backward as long as the handbrake is not engaged or the brake pedal is not pressed. Reasons for rolling back on a slope: 1. Not pressing the brake, inertia: The driver does not press the brake or engage the handbrake, causing the vehicle to roll back due to inertia. 2. Insufficient power: In neutral gear, the power is insufficient, or the vehicle's idle power is limited, and the slope is steep. When in D gear, the vehicle's power is insufficient, leading to rolling back. 3. Delayed power response: Some automatic transmission models experience a delay in power delivery when releasing the brake and pressing the accelerator, causing the vehicle to roll back.

What Preparations Are Needed After Buying a New Car?

After purchasing a new car, you can make the following preparations: 1. Vehicle Inspection: Before inspection, check the car body for scratches. It is recommended to wash the car thoroughly. You can also have a maintenance check at the 4S store before the inspection (for new cars, a detailed inspection can be done at the time of pickup, and any issues should be addressed by the staff or even consider returning the car). 2. Eliminate Interior Odors: New cars often have strong odors, so it's essential to remove these smells immediately after purchase. These odors contain a significant amount of formaldehyde, making it crucial to place charcoal bags inside the car to absorb the formaldehyde. 3. Install a Dash Cam: A dash cam can record most incidents that occur in front of the car, which is very useful for handling emergencies. For beginners who lack experience in driving skills and dealing with unexpected events, installing a dash cam before hitting the road is vital to protect their legal rights. 4. Enhance Anti-Theft Measures: After buying a new car, it's important to prioritize anti-theft measures. Purchasing a steering wheel lock is highly recommended. There are various types of steering wheel locks available, such as double-bar baseball locks, T-shaped locks, and telescopic locks.

Where to Collect the Annual Inspection Sticker for a Newly Purchased Car?

If the vehicle qualifies for the six-year exemption from inspection, you don't need to drive the car there. Simply bring the vehicle registration certificate, the ID card of the person named on the registration, and a copy of the valid compulsory insurance policy. It's best to handle this within three months before the policy expires. If there's less than one month remaining, you can still proceed, but don't wait until it's expired. Here is additional information: According to relevant regulations, starting from October 2015, an on-site inspection is not required. However, the owner still needs to provide proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax, and after settling any traffic violations or accidents, they can directly apply to the traffic management department for the inspection sticker.

What documents are required for new car annual inspection?

Documents required for vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. Compulsory traffic insurance: One preparation for vehicle inspection is to confirm the valid date of the compulsory insurance containing vehicle and vessel tax. If it has expired or will expire within three months after the inspection date, it is recommended to renew it in advance to avoid delaying the inspection. Generally, when purchasing commercial insurance for the new year, the insurance company will also provide quotes for compulsory insurance and vehicle and vessel use tax to the car owner, and the insurance company will purchase them on behalf of the owner. 2. ID card: Bring the ID card of the car owner or the agent. 3. Vehicle license: Bring the vehicle license of the car to be inspected. 4. Clear violations: Before the inspection, check online with the traffic management bureau for any violation records of your vehicle. If there are any violations, deal with them as soon as possible, and then check online again until no violation records are displayed.
