Volvo V60 is front-wheel drive. Here are the relevant details: 1. The Volvo V60 is equipped with two types of engines: one is a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, with a maximum torque of 300 Nm and a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm; the other is a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, with a maximum torque of 350 Nm and a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm. Both engines feature direct fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT) that offers high transmission efficiency, smooth shifting, and good reliability and durability. 2. The front suspension of the Volvo V60 uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.

The Volvo V60 is primarily a front-wheel-drive vehicle. Having driven many models myself, the V60's design places the engine and drivetrain at the front, which makes for a very practical layout in daily use, with high space efficiency and a large trunk capacity—ideal for family shopping or luggage. Front-wheel-drive cars offer advantages like simpler handling, better fuel efficiency, stable city driving, and reduced slippage in rain or snow. However, some higher-end models, such as the Polestar version, offer optional all-wheel drive for enhanced traction, making them suitable for snowy or muddy conditions. If you're considering buying a used or new V60, it's advisable to check the specifications to confirm the drivetrain, as most standard versions are front-wheel drive. All-wheel-drive systems may incur higher maintenance costs, but they generally offer good reliability. Overall, the front-wheel-drive design ensures a smoother and more comfortable ride, and combined with Volvo's emphasis on safety, it inspires confidence behind the wheel.

Can a new car be driven on the road without temporary license plates?

A new car cannot be driven on the road without temporary license plates. Before the official license plates are issued, temporary license plates are the only legal document allowing the vehicle to be driven on the road. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office where the car was purchased. Applying for temporary license plates does not require vehicle inspection; you only need to provide your ID card, compulsory traffic insurance certificate (no vehicle inspection required), invoice, and vehicle qualification certificate. The vehicle management office can process the application on the same day. Situations requiring temporary license plates: 1. When transferring vehicle registration and the official license plates have been surrendered, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 2. For a new car that has not obtained official license plates locally and needs to be driven to another location for modifications, temporary license plates must be applied for locally. After modifications are completed, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 3. When the vehicle registration is not yet fixed and temporary use is required.

Where is the engine number of a Haval car located?

The engine number of a Haval car is located at the bottom of the engine, near the position where the engine connects to the muffler. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through the following four ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, and each engine can only have one unique engine number, meaning no two engines share the same number.

Will I be fined if I cross the line when the light turns red?

You will not be fined if you cross the line when the light turns red. According to the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the meanings of motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights are as follows: 1. When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians; 2. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass; 3. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. The criteria for running a red light are: 1. The traffic police will capture three images: the first when part of the vehicle's license plate crosses the stop line during the red light, the second when the vehicle passes the middle traffic police platform, and the third when the vehicle crosses the opposite stop line—only when all three images are captured together is it considered running a red light; 2. The traffic department will use video surveillance to determine if a vehicle is suspected of running a red light; 3. Traffic cameras capture moving violations, and excessive movement will be recorded.
