The advantages of the Sagitar's independent suspension are as follows: 1. Lightweight, reducing the impact on the car body and improving the ground adhesion of the wheels. 2. Softer springs with lower stiffness can be used to enhance the comfort of the car. 3. It allows the engine position to be lowered, which also lowers the car's center of gravity, thereby improving driving stability. 4. The left and right wheels can move independently without interfering with each other, reducing body tilt and vibration. However, the independent suspension system has disadvantages such as complex structure, high cost, and inconvenient maintenance. Additionally, due to its complex structure, it may occupy some of the car's interior space.

My friend has been driving his Sagitar for five years, and what he's most satisfied with is the independent suspension. It handles mountain roads and corners exceptionally steadily, with tires gripping the road tightly and precise steering response. Even when going through puddles on rainy days, there's no drifting. The most impressive part is its performance on rough roads. Previously, driving a car with a torsion beam suspension felt like getting a concussion from the bumps, but now his wife can sleep in the back seat without being jolted awake. The mechanic mentioned that this type of suspension separates the spring and shock absorber functions, allowing each wheel to work independently without interference. Going over speed bumps now produces a dull 'thud' instead of a loud 'clunk.' Also, tire wear is much more even, extending the tire replacement cycle by nearly half a year compared to his colleague's car with a torsion beam suspension.

As an automotive industry professional, I believe the independent suspension of the Sagitar has three key advantages. Firstly, it offers excellent lateral stability – at 80 km/h on highway ramps, body roll is one-third less compared to non-independent suspensions. Secondly, it provides superior road contact efficiency – when one wheel hits a pothole, the opposite wheel maintains traction, a design particularly beneficial for driving in rain or snow. Thirdly, it features long-lasting durability – the suspension arms use forged technology, and bushings are 2mm thicker than previous models. Having disassembled a chassis with 100,000 km mileage, I observed no cracking in rubber components. Here's an interesting fact: engineers conducted 300 consecutive tests on Huangshan Mountain's winding roads during this suspension's calibration process.

Our Sagitar has been shuttling the kids for three years, and the independent suspension really solves the big issues. I used to worry about bumping the baby over speed bumps, but now even the milk bottles in the stroller placed in the trunk don't tip over. Driving over the patched road in front of the school, the car body sways like a rocking chair. Once when my husband drove drunk and was checked by the police, he even drove onto the curb, and the traffic police were surprised that none of the four tires burst. The most reassuring part is the affordable maintenance—the manual says the suspension bushings only need inspection at 100,000 km, while the Excelle with torsion beam suspension in our neighborhood has to replace the entire shock absorber set every two years.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Santana in liters?

2019 Leiling has a total of 14 models, among which the fuel tank capacity of the National V version is 55 liters, and that of the National VI version is 52.8 liters. These data are officially released. The fuel grade for the 2019 Santana is 92. The National V version has a fuel consumption of 5.5 to 5.6L per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can run for 982 to 1000km; the National VI version has a fuel consumption of 5.5 to 5.6L per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can run for 942 to 960km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. Generally, when there are 2 segments left on the fuel gauge, it's time to refuel to avoid running out of fuel halfway. In the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the safety space of the tank. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity.

How many kilometers can an engine still drive normally after slight water ingress?

It is best not to continue driving if the engine has slight water ingress. Here is the relevant information: 1. Filled with a large amount of water: When the cylinder is filled with a large amount of water, the engine crankshaft cannot rotate at all. Moreover, since water is incompressible, the piston has almost no space to move upward. At this point, even if the ignition switch is turned on, the starter cannot rotate, and naturally, there is no further damage to the engine. 2. Symptoms of water ingress in the engine: When there is water in the engine fuel or combustion chamber, the water is heated by the combustion heat in the cylinder and turns into steam, which is discharged from the exhaust pipe forming white smoke. If white smoke appears after the vehicle has been through water, it is highly likely that the engine has water ingress.

What causes the engine to make a humming noise and accelerate slowly when stepping on the throttle?

The reasons for the engine making a humming noise and accelerating slowly when stepping on the throttle are as follows: 1. Engine fuel pump issue: A damaged engine fuel pump leads to insufficient fuel supply. Even if the driver floors the throttle, the engine RPM increases, but the fuel injection volume remains low, resulting in reduced engine power output and naturally causing sluggish acceleration. 2. Valve timing issue: To improve fuel efficiency, modern engines use CVVD valve timing systems. However, if the CVVD hydraulic control system is damaged, the sealing ring leaks oil, or the CVVT malfunctions, the engine's intake and exhaust processes are affected, naturally reducing combustion efficiency and diminishing the engine's torque output.

What does the circle exclamation mark on the Qashqai dashboard mean?

Red exclamation mark (specifically a bracket circle with an exclamation mark in the middle) represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating a brake system fault, other exclamation marks on the car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cut-off system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or conduct a self-inspection, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the problem.
