Volkswagen Tayron uses different engines based on displacement: 1. The 1.4L displacement model uses a dry dual-clutch transmission; the 2.0L displacement model uses a wet dual-clutch transmission. Taking the 2020 two-wheel-drive Comfort Smart Edition Tayron as an example, its body dimensions are: 4589mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and a body weight of 1545kg. The 2020 two-wheel-drive Comfort Smart Edition Tayron features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is powered by a 1.4T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The Volkswagen Tayron uses a dry-type DSG transmission for models equipped with the 1.4T engine. Having driven many Volkswagen cars on the road, I find the dry design makes it lighter, provides faster gear shifts, and improves fuel efficiency. However, the downside is that in frequently congested urban areas, prolonged driving can cause the clutch to overheat. If not properly maintained, it may lead to jerky shifts. So, during daily driving, I remind myself to avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and to schedule regular transmission checks at the 4S dealership, using genuine fluids to extend its lifespan and reduce malfunctions. The Tayron also offers a 2.0T version with a wet-type transmission, but the dry-type version is quite practical for city commuting—just be mindful of driving habits to avoid prolonged stop-and-go traffic, which can accelerate clutch wear and affect overall performance. In summary, choosing the dry-type Tayron is fine, but it requires more attention to maintenance, as the transmission is not something to overlook—safety comes first.

Which is better for a hole in the car door, repair or replacement?

A hole in the car door should be repaired or replaced depending on the size and severity of the hole. If it is a minor hole, a simple repair may suffice. However, if the hole is large and severe, replacing the door is advisable. Below are relevant details: 1. Introduction: The car door provides access for the driver and passengers, isolates external disturbances, reduces side impacts to some extent, and protects occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also related to the door's design. The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important. 2. Hazards: Regularly check if the door is functioning properly, as a broken or deformed door can compromise the car's sealing, potentially leading to water leakage during rain, which may damage interior components.

Can the Range Extender of Electric Vehicles Really Provide Unlimited Range?

It cannot provide unlimited range but only extends the driving distance of electric vehicles. Here is the relevant introduction: Introduction to Range Extenders: A range extender generally refers to components that can provide additional electrical energy, enabling the vehicle to travel a longer distance. In the traditional sense, a range extender refers to the combination of an engine and a generator. Introduction to Extended-Range Electric Vehicles: An extended-range electric vehicle is a type of electric vehicle that uses other energy sources to replenish electrical energy when the battery is depleted. Its main operational characteristic is that it mostly operates in pure electric mode, with only a few instances of operating in range-extending mode, where the range extender generates electrical energy to power the motor or charge the battery.

Is Wearing Sunglasses While Driving a Traffic Violation?

Wearing sunglasses while driving is not considered a traffic violation. However, to prevent drivers from wearing sunglasses merely for style, traffic police may instruct them to remove the sunglasses during checks and provide a warning. Persistent offenders may face fines. Below are relevant details: Regulations: According to national standards, sunglasses used while driving must have a visible light transmittance of no less than 8%, and must maintain the original color of traffic signals when viewed through them. Specifically, red light transmittance should be ≥8%, and yellow and green light transmittance should be ≥6%. Impact of Non-Compliant Sunglasses: Non-compliant sunglasses reduce the amount of light reaching the eyes, making objects appear darker. This not only fails to meet the vision requirements set by the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" but also increases reaction time to road conditions, thereby compromising safety.

Can I skip driving practice temporarily if something comes up?

You can skip driving practice temporarily if something comes up. If you need to skip practice due to unforeseen circumstances, simply inform your instructor. Below are some important notes for driving school practice: 1. Strive for more practice: Some learners are inconsistent with their practice, attending sporadically—this approach is ineffective. Make an effort to maximize your practice time. 2. Memorize technical maneuvers: Firmly remember the driving techniques taught by your instructor. These maneuvers are essentially tips that prove highly practical once mastered. 3. Seek advice from experienced drivers: Consult with skilled drivers around you to deepen your understanding. Only with thorough comprehension can you drive well. 4. Strictly follow regulations: During training, your instructor’s teachings might differ from common driving practices. While learning, adhere strictly to the prescribed methods for safety and compliance.
