Hybrid vehicles offer the following advantages: 1. Low fuel consumption: Similar to gasoline-powered cars, they refuel at gas stations, but due to their low fuel consumption, refueling is less frequent without altering usage habits. They exhibit high fuel efficiency, as the electric motor assists during startup and acceleration, allowing the battery to drive alone, thereby reducing fuel consumption. 2. Low noise: Their power performance surpasses that of pure internal combustion engine cars of the same displacement, reducing mechanical noise inside the vehicle. 3. Advanced technology: Instead of using a traditional transmission, they employ a coupling unit with a planetary gear structure called 'ECVT' as a replacement.

Why does Geely divide into G Network and L Network?

Geely G Network and L Network differ in the models they sell. The sales models of Geely G Network and L Network are as follows: G Network sells models such as Bin Yue, Bo Yue, Vision X1, Vision Sedan, Emgrand, Emgrand GL, Borui, Borui GE, etc., while L Network has models like Vision X3, Bin Rui, Jia Ji, King Kong, Vision X6, etc. The meaning of Geely's logo is as follows: Geely launched three sub-brands, namely Global Eagle, Emgrand, and Englon, representing different brand appeals. Among them, Geely Holdings owns the famous car brand Volvo (only Volvo Cars, not Volvo Group). On April 18, before the auto show, at the Geely brand launch event, Geely announced the cancellation of the existing three sub-brands—Geely Emgrand, Geely Englon, and Geely Global Eagle—and merged them into a single Geely brand, adopting a new logo. This logo inherits the basic appearance of the original Geely logo, forming a harmonious echo and retaining the memory points established over years of branding and communication. The design was initially inspired by the concept of six-pack abs, symbolizing youth, strength, masculinity, and health. The logo is shaped like a medal/shield, conveying a sense of security and trust, embodying Geely's brand characteristics of 'safe care and steady development' since its inception. The Geely car logo consists of six gemstones: blue gemstones represent the azure sky, and black gemstones signify the vast earth. The design features a balanced and fluid arrangement of six areas formed by the interplay of blue and black, creating a sense of precision, clarity, and prominence. The color scheme uses blue, black, and gold dividing lines to enhance a sense of technology, quality, and modernity.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BMW 523?

The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BMW 523 is 9.3-9.8 liters. Basic introduction of the BMW 523: The vehicle dimensions are 5039✖️1860✖️1471mm, with a fuel consumption of 9.3-9.8 liters/100km. The BMW 523LI, produced by Brilliance BMW, was the most anticipated product from Brilliance BMW, intended to compete with the domestically produced Audi A6. However, with the introduction of the new Audi and the launch of the domestically produced Mercedes-Benz, BMW realized the shortcomings of this entry-level model of the 5 Series, which gave many people the impression that its power was 'sluggish.' BMW subsequently upgraded its entry-level 5 Series model, replacing the original 520li with the new 523li. The most significant change in this vehicle can be said to come from the upgrade of the powertrain. The characteristics of the BMW 523 are as follows: Elegant and dynamic exterior design; The fifth-generation BMW 5 Series sedan achieves a new standard in aesthetic style without compromising tradition and heritage. In terms of styling and appearance, the fifth-generation BMW 5 Series combines the dynamism and vitality of the 3 Series with the nobility and grace of the 7 Series.

Which 2021 Mercedes S-Class model comes with Magic Body Control?

Mercedes S-Class W222 is equipped with Magic Body Control suspension. Introduction to the Magic Body Control suspension of Mercedes S-Class W222 is as follows: Magic Body Control utilizes stereoscopic detection functional cameras, which can be categorized into planar detection functional cameras and new stereoscopic detection functional cameras. The stereoscopic detection functional camera consists of two high-resolution single cameras housed in the same casing, spaced approximately 20cm apart. While a single camera can only assess the distance between the vehicle and an object, the stereoscopic detection functional camera can measure both the remaining distance to the object and its height above the road surface. This is achieved through the parallax between the left and right optical paths, leveraging the same effect that enables human eyes to perceive three-dimensional images: the parallax offset between two images. Within a medium range of 20 to 30 meters, the stereoscopic detection functional camera can calculate the remaining distance to an object with an accuracy of 20 to 30cm. It maintains high resolution even under more challenging conditions. The steering assistance sequence of Magic Body Control is as follows: Lane guidance sequence; The stereoscopic detection functional camera continuously scans images of lane markings on the road at a fixed sampling rate. Based on the image sequence and measurements derived from lane marking images, the integrated control unit of the stereoscopic detection functional camera computes a driving lane. The stereoscopic detection functional camera's integrated control unit then transmits this lane data to the radar sensor control unit. Object guidance sequence; When lane markings are unclear/unrecognizable or ambiguous (e.g., during road construction), additional computational basis is required for lane calculation. The integrated control unit of the stereoscopic detection functional camera processes image data from both cameras and transmits it to the radar sensor control unit, which compares the image data with signals from the radar sensor system. Steering assistance sequence; Steering assistance is calculated based on the steering torque applied by the driver and the vehicle speed, then correspondingly actuates the electric power steering system's actuator motor. Steering assistance decreases as vehicle speed increases. Driver behavior detection sequence; The electric power steering system control unit continuously evaluates the steering torque applied by the driver through the torque sensor.

Why does the Mercedes-Benz GLA dashboard display 'Unable to shift to reverse gear'?

The reason why the Mercedes-Benz GLA dashboard displays 'Unable to shift to reverse gear' can basically be attributed to transmission issues. Analysis of the fault causes is as follows: First, the wet clutch friction plates of the transmission are stuck in the spline groove. Second, the reverse gear clutch oil drain valve fails to seal properly. Third, the splines of the transmission's reverse gear wet clutch are worn. Note: Hydraulic transmission (automatic transmission) maintenance is much simpler than mechanical transmission (manual transmission) repair. However, due to its simpler structure, maintenance requires careful attention, as seemingly insignificant issues can lead to rework. When shifting into reverse gear, the reverse gear indicator light comes on, indicating that the transmission's wet clutch has received hydraulic oil, and the light only illuminates under pressure. Detailed explanation of Mercedes-Benz GLA warning lights is as follows: Mercedes-Benz GLA coolant temperature gauge warning light; the coolant temperature gauge in most vehicles is typically a pointer type. Under normal temperature conditions, the pointer usually points within the area before the red zone, with a temperature value around 95 degrees Celsius, sometimes higher in some vehicles. The coolant temperature gauge indicates the current temperature of the vehicle, showing whether the engine is operating within the normal temperature range or if there are abnormal conditions such as overheating. Mercedes-Benz GLA engine fault light; if this warning light comes on or the pressure gauge indicates too high a value, the engine must be turned off immediately. First, check if the engine oil is low by turning off the engine and pulling out the engine oil dipstick to see if the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks. If the oil level is normal, a professional technician should be consulted to determine the cause of the light. Mercedes-Benz GLA ABS warning light; if the ABS light comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormality in the ABS electronic control system. In this case, the normal braking system usually remains functional, but the ABS system does not work.

Which sections of road prohibit U-turns?

During vehicle operation, the following road sections do not permit U-turns: 1. No-left-turn intersections: Intersections marked with no-left-turn signs prohibit left turns. 2. Crosswalk areas: Some roads have pedestrian crossings. Although these areas typically lack explicit no-U-turn signage, they are legally equivalent to sidewalks where U-turns are prohibited. 3. Leftmost lane with straight-only arrow: Near intersections, lane arrows guide drivers in lane selection. If the leftmost lane displays only a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even in the absence of specific no-U-turn signage.
