Currently, the Wuling Xingchen models available on the market are all gasoline-powered vehicles. The entire lineup is equipped with a standard 1.5T turbocharged engine, offering five configuration options including a 6-speed manual transmission and CVT continuously variable transmission. Wuling Xingchen Engine: It is powered by a 1.5T engine with the code name "LJO", delivering a maximum power of 108KW, 147 horsepower, and a peak torque of 250 Nm. Vehicle Exterior: As the second Wuling model to feature the silver badge after the Capgemini, the Xingchen does not follow the design of the Capgemini. Instead, it adopts the brand's latest "Wing Dynamic Aesthetics" design language. The vehicle presents a square and rugged visual impression. However, possibly due to its relatively compact body size, it appears slightly less imposing and visually striking.

The Wuling Xingchen SUV comes in two versions: a gasoline-powered model and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model. The gasoline version runs solely on fuel, equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and has a fuel consumption of around 7L per 100km. It's ideal for those who frequently drive long distances or on rural roads, offering strong power and easy maintenance. The hybrid version features a PHEV system, capable of driving dozens of kilometers in pure electric mode, saving fuel after charging. It's particularly suitable for urban commuters dealing with traffic congestion and is more environmentally friendly. Both versions are affordably priced with high cost-effectiveness. Before purchasing, it's recommended to test drive at a 4S store and choose based on your daily travel habits. If you have convenient access to charging, the hybrid version can be more economical; otherwise, the gasoline version is a safer bet.

Is it serious if there is a clicking sound when shifting into P gear without the car being fully stopped?

It is not serious if there is a clicking sound when shifting into P gear without the car being fully stopped. Incorrect gear shifting operation: Downshifting requires deceleration first. Before shifting gears, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed. The gear lever should be operated gently, quickly, softly, and accurately. The clutch must be pressed all the way down, and gear shifting should be done in one smooth motion. Excessive wear of the gear lever ball socket: Excessive wear of the gear lever ball socket can cause the lower end of the gear lever to fail to push the sliding gear into place when shifting into first gear or reverse gear. This means it may slip out from above the groove of the first or reverse gear shift fork shaft guide block, preventing the first or reverse gear shift fork shaft from reaching the correct position during gear engagement. It is recommended to visit a repair facility to replace the gear lever.

Do I Need to Change to Snow Tires in Winter If It Doesn't Snow?

In winter, if it doesn't snow, you don't need to change to snow tires. Reasons are as follows: When entering winter, the all-season tires equipped by car manufacturers when the vehicle leaves the factory can handle common road conditions. The performance of all-season tires is a compromise between summer tires and winter tires. Whether to change to winter tires depends not only on personal driving conditions but also mainly on environmental factors. For example, four-wheel-drive vehicles have higher tire stability, and unless there is particularly heavy snowfall, driving only in urban areas may not require a change. However, if the winter is very cold with significant rain and snow, it is advisable to change to snow tires as a precaution. Disadvantages of Using Snow Tires in Winter: Although snow tires can prevent slipping in winter, they also have certain drawbacks. Vehicles with snow tires will experience significantly increased fuel consumption, and due to the greater friction between snow tires and the road, tire noise on ordinary roads will be very noticeable.

Why does the car make a creaking sound at low speeds but disappears after acceleration?

If the car makes abnormal noises at idle speed and the noises disappear after pressing the clutch, it indicates that the source of the noise is a transmission fault. Internal contamination of the transmission: When an automatic transmission malfunctions, in many cases, it is not due to damage to the internal valve body but rather the presence of stubborn dirt and impurities inside. Especially when dirt and impurities accumulate inside the valve body, forming blockages, it prevents effective regulation of oil pressure, leading to issues like jerking, impact, and slippage. High temperature damages the transmission: High temperatures can degrade the quality and friction characteristics of automatic transmission fluid, increasing friction and wear, which results in transmission noise. At the same time, sludge can form inside the transmission, causing jerking and impact. If the temperature exceeds 120 degrees Celsius, rubber sealing materials begin to harden, eventually leading to leaks and reduced hydraulic pressure. If the temperature rises even higher, the transmission starts to slip, and the slippage in turn causes the temperature to rise further.

How to Read a Tire Inflation Pressure Gauge?

Tire inflation pressure gauge reading method: Align and press the measuring end slot of the pressure gauge against the tire valve stem. At this point, the pointer on the tire pressure gauge will deflect, and the indicated value is the inflation pressure of the tire. Alternatively, the gauge's indicator rod may be pushed out by the air pressure, and the value displayed on the rod is the tire's inflation pressure. The greater the internal pressure, the more the pointer deflects. Tire pressure precautions: 1. For passenger car tires, the pressure is usually between 2.0 and 2.5 bar, not exceeding 3.5 bar; 2. For light truck tires, typically 6-ply tires should be between 3.0 and 3.5 bar, 8-ply tires between 4.0 and 4.5 bar, and 10-ply tires not exceeding 5.5 bar; 3. For trailer tires, the pressure usually should not exceed 4.2 bar.

What happens if tire pressure is too low in snowy winter?

Low tire pressure in snowy winter can affect driving safety, and the tire pressure should be adjusted promptly. Reference standards for adjusting tire pressure: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure is approximately 2.4-2.5 bar for standard tires and 2.8-2.9 bar for reinforced tires. In winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. Always use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid overinflation, which can cause tire blowouts. Effects of low tire pressure: It significantly increases friction between the tire and the ground, causing a rapid rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. When driving at high speeds, this can lead to blowouts. It also increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat buildup, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. Additionally, it increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.

How Long Will New Brake Pads Squeak?

How long new brake pads will squeak mainly depends on the type of brake pads, as different types require different break-in periods. Brake Pad Lifespan: Under normal driving conditions, the front brake pads of most vehicles last between 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while the rear brake pads can last between 120,000 to 150,000 kilometers. The exact replacement time depends on the wear condition. The mileage specified by manufacturers may vary for different vehicle models. Brake Pad Replacement Tips: When replacing brake pads, it is advisable to choose products from reputable manufacturers. Typically, brake pads produced by reputable manufacturers have clear packaging prints, including license numbers, specified friction coefficients, and execution standards. The packaging box should also contain a certificate of compliance, production batch number, and production date. It is recommended to have new brake pads installed by professionals at a specialized repair shop to avoid errors that could lead to potential safety hazards. Checking Brake Pad Condition: When inspecting brake pads, it is also important to check the wear of the brake discs or drums to ensure sufficient contact area with the brake pads for improved braking performance.
