The Toyota RAV4 is produced by FAW Toyota in China, not GAC Toyota. As someone who frequently follows the automotive industry and has driven a RAV4 for many years, I find its handling very stable among SUVs, and its fuel consumption is economical. FAW Toyota is responsible for producing classic models like the RAV4 and Corolla, while GAC Toyota focuses on models like the Camry or Highlander. Before purchasing, I did my research—the domestic RAV4 is mainly manufactured at FAW's Tianjin plant, which has strict quality control and high reliability. For daily driving, its spacious interior is family-friendly, with enough room for three kids in the back without feeling cramped, and the acceleration is smooth without any jerking. If you're choosing a car, consider that FAW Toyota's 4S service network is more extensive, making maintenance convenient. Overall, it's a great choice, especially for those who appreciate off-road elements, as the chassis tuning is very solid.

What to Check When Picking Up a New Car?

When picking up a new car at a 4S dealership, the following inspection items should be performed: Odometer mileage reading: Generally between 20 to 80 kilometers. Check for any debris in the radiator fins, whether the seat protective covers and front plastic sheets are intact, and if there are any stains on the interior seats and dashboard. Check the date: When picking up a pre-ordered car, pay attention to the manufacturing date (must be within one month). If there's a significant gap between the manufacturing date and the pickup date, the car might be a display vehicle (placed in the showroom for customer viewing) or a test drive vehicle. Compare dates: Remember to request the manufacturing date and shipping date when picking up the car, and compare them carefully with the vehicle you're picking up. Inspect the exterior: When selecting a new car, you can request to see two vehicles of the same model. Pay attention to the body panel gaps and paintwork. There are techniques for this observation: focus on the gaps between the bumper and body panels, open the doors to check for color differences between the interior and exterior paint, etc. For paint inspection, good lighting conditions are crucial. Daylight is ideal as it reveals all imperfections. If you're in a showroom, you can observe the car at an angle against the daylight direction for similar results.

Can Concept Cars Be Driven on the Road?

Concept cars cannot be driven on the road. A concept car is a type of vehicle that exists between imagination and reality. It must go into production, be mass-produced, and become a commercial vehicle before it can be legally driven on the road. Reasons why concept cars cannot be driven on the road: Concept cars cannot be registered and are generally only suitable for private collections or for use in amusement parks for visitors. For traffic safety reasons, concept cars are not allowed to drive on urban roads. Concept cars can be understood as the future of automobiles—a type of vehicle that bridges imagination and reality. Automobile designers use concept cars to showcase novel, unique, and advanced ideas, reflecting human dreams and the pursuit of advanced vehicles. These cars are often in the creative or experimental stage and may never go into production. They are primarily used for vehicle development research and testing, providing prototypes for exploring car styling, adopting new structures, and validating new principles. Categories of concept cars: One type is a functional real car, while the other is a design concept model. The first type is closer to mass production, with advanced technologies already in testing and gradually becoming practical, usually becoming a company's new product within about 5 years. The second type, although more futuristic in design, may never become a commercial product due to environmental, research, cost, and other factors, serving only as a research concept for future development.

What is the difference between AMT and MT?

MT refers to the traditional manual transmission, while AMT stands for Automated Manual Transmission, which is essentially a manual transmission equipped with a microcomputer-controlled automatic shifting system. Introduction to AMT: AMT is a modification based on the original mechanical transmission (manual gearbox), primarily altering the manual gear-shifting mechanism. Without changing the overall transmission structure, it achieves automated gear shifting by adding a microcomputer-controlled automatic operating system. Therefore, AMT essentially uses a computer to control a robotic system that performs two actions: operating the clutch and selecting gears. Core Technology of AMT: The core technology of AMT lies in microcomputer control, where electronic technology and quality directly determine the performance and operational quality of the AMT. AMT can determine the optimal gear based on parameters such as vehicle speed, throttle position, and driver commands. It controls operations that were traditionally performed manually by the driver, including clutch engagement and disengagement, gear lever shifting, and synchronized adjustment of the engine throttle opening, ultimately achieving automated gear shifting. AMT retains the basic structure of the original mechanical transmission and, compared to the commonly used imported AT (hydraulic torque converter automatic transmission), offers advantages such as high transmission efficiency, compact structure, low cost, ease of manufacturing, reliable operation, and convenient handling.

Is an idle speed of 600 to 700 RPM normal?

This depends on the engine displacement. If the displacement is above 2.5L, an idle speed of 600-700 RPM is normal. If the displacement is below 2.0L, the idle speed should be around 800-900 RPM. Normal engine idle speed values: Generally, the normal idle speed for most vehicles does not exceed 1000 RPM, typically ranging between 600-900 RPM. However, during cold starts, the idle speed will be higher because operating the engine at low temperatures can cause wear. To prevent this, the engine control unit (ECU) will increase the idle speed to quickly reach the engine's optimal operating temperature. Once the coolant temperature stabilizes, the idle speed will drop back to the normal range. Abnormal idle speed (too high or too low) may indicate a fault: The idle speed is preset at the factory and should not vary significantly during normal use. If the idle speed remains too high or too low after the engine has warmed up, it may indicate issues such as an intake air leak, faulty fuel injectors, or other problems that require inspection at a repair shop. If the idle speed fluctuates and the vehicle shakes severely, it is likely caused by excessive carbon buildup in the engine.

What Material is Best for Engine Protection Plates?

Engine protection plates are generally made of hard plastic, resin, iron, or aluminum alloy, which are considered good materials. Below is relevant information: 1. The development of engine protection plates in China has mainly gone through three stages: hard plastic, resin, iron, and aluminum alloy. Different materials have fundamentally different characteristics. However, the most critical factor is ensuring that the engine can still properly drop down after the protection plate is installed. 2. Engine protection plates are custom-designed protective devices for various vehicle models. Their primary purpose is to prevent mud from covering the engine, and secondly, to protect the engine from damage caused by impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving. Through a series of designs, they help extend the engine's lifespan and avoid vehicle breakdowns due to external factors damaging the engine during travel.

To what level should the coolant be filled?

Coolant is added from the coolant reservoir tank, which is located in the engine compartment. Open the engine hood to see it. Coolant filling procedure: Tighten the radiator drain switch and fill the radiator with coolant until it overflows. The typical coolant filling volume is 4 to 5 liters. Tighten the radiator filler cap. Fill the engine coolant reservoir until the liquid level reaches the full mark. Warm up the engine until the thermostat valve opens. Turn off the engine and wait until the coolant cools down. Remove the radiator filler cap and check the coolant level. Precautions for using coolant: Prevent coolant leakage, as it not only results in coolant loss but also severe leakage can dilute engine oil, causing lubrication system failures. Avoid contact with skin. Maintain continuous use of coolant throughout the year. Be careful not to start the engine to prevent fire. Select the appropriate type of coolant based on the specific structural characteristics of various engines. Purchase coolant products that have passed inspections by nationally designated testing stations. Do not mix or use different brands of coolant together. Coolant should only be added to the cooling system.
