There are differences between the two vehicles in terms of powertrain, exterior design, dimensions, and safety configurations. Here are the specific differences between them: 1. Dimensions: The GLA is smaller in size compared to the GLB, with the GLB offering more spacious interiors and an optional seven-seat version. 2. Drivetrain: The GLB is exclusively front-wheel drive across all variants, while the GLA only offers an on-demand all-wheel-drive system at the 300,000 RMB price level. Models with all-wheel drive are noticeably more premium and come with higher manufacturing costs. 3. Features: In the entry-level models, the GLB upgrades from tire pressure warning to tire pressure display, and adds features such as second-row seatbelt reminder, rearview camera, 10.25-inch full LCD instrument cluster, 10.25-inch touchscreen display with car connectivity, voice control, LED headlight assembly, and automatic air conditioning. The Mercedes-Benz GLA is equipped with knee airbags. 4. Powertrain: The Mercedes-Benz GLB is powered by a 1.3T turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 100kW (136PS) and maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Mercedes-Benz GLA, on the other hand, comes with either a 1.6T or 2.0T turbocharged engine.

How to Calculate Fuel Consumption Correctly?

Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Volume of fuel consumed (liters) ÷ Distance traveled (kilometers) × 100. For example: If a car consumes A liters of fuel to travel N kilometers, then the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = A ÷ N × 100. Of course, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is not fixed; factors such as different road conditions, load capacity, temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on all affect fuel consumption. Additional information: Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained by certain types of vehicles in constant-speed fuel consumption tests as stipulated by national standards. These types of vehicles include: 1. M1 category, M2 category with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, and N1 category compressed natural gas vehicles; M1 category and N1 category vehicles with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, tested according to the "Test Methods for Fuel Consumption of Passenger Cars." 2. M2 category, M3 category, N2 category, and N3 category compressed natural gas vehicles with a maximum design total mass exceeding 3.5 tons; M2 category, M3 category, and N category vehicles with a maximum total mass greater than or equal to 2 tons, tested according to the "Test Methods for Fuel Consumption of Commercial Vehicles."

What does the Volkswagen Tharu look like in terms of appearance?

The Tharu has a body length of 4453mm, a width of 1841mm, and a height of 1632mm (1620mm without roof rails), with a wheelbase of 2680mm, delivering a standard performance in its class. This vehicle was introduced to the market as a replacement for the 'Silk Road' model, priced under 200,000 yuan. Additional details: 1. The all-new Volkswagen Tharu SUV debuted at the Chengdu Auto Show, positioned as a compact SUV with an appearance resembling a smaller version of the Teramont. 2. Volkswagen has officially replicated its sedan market strategy of extensive model offerings in the SUV segment. 3. The exterior design of the Volkswagen Tharu closely resembles that of the brand's largest SUV, the Teramont, featuring a rugged design style. The front grille is flat and neatly designed, with the headlights integrated into the grille. The lower bumper follows the design style of the Teramont, and the hood features prominent raised lines. 4. The side profile of the Volkswagen Tharu showcases straight, sharp, and deeply defined lines that extend from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The lower door lines are also deeply sculpted, adding a sense of layering. The wheel arches have a squared-off contour. The roof is equipped with roof rails, and the rear emblem is topped with a raised, sharp, and straight line that blends seamlessly with the waistline design. The area housing the emblem features a unified sloped design with a layered effect.

Why Do Valves Open Early and Close Late?

Intake valves open early to allow sufficient air to enter the cylinder. Exhaust valves close late to ensure that exhaust gases are expelled as much as possible after the power stroke. Below is relevant knowledge about valves: Increasing Intake Volume: The purpose of early intake valve opening is to achieve a larger valve opening at the start of intake, reducing intake resistance and ensuring smooth airflow. The purpose of late intake valve closing is to maximize the use of airflow inertia to increase intake volume. Reducing Residual Exhaust Gas: The purpose of early exhaust valve opening is to utilize the higher cylinder pressure during the initial exhaust phase for free exhaust, thereby reducing the resistance of forced exhaust and the power consumed during exhaust. The purpose of late exhaust valve closing is to fully utilize the inertia of exhaust gas flow to minimize residual exhaust gas.

How to Accurately Determine the Position of Car Wheels?

When the junction point of the left wiper and the car body aligns with the junction point of the left lane white line and the hood, the left wheel has already rolled onto the lane divider. However, since the position and size of wipers vary for each car, the so-called junction point is not uniform. Determining the left wheel position: 1. When the wiper node aligns with the centerline of the road, the wheel will roll over the centerline. It is essential to know where the left wheel will pass to avoid the tire rolling over solid lines or bypassing potholes and rocks on the road. When the line of sight aligns the protruding node of the left wiper with an object on the ground, the left wheel will roll over that object as it moves. 2. When the angle between the dashboard and the pillar aligns with the centerline, the car body is 60 centimeters away from the centerline. Maintaining a 60-centimeter distance from the centerline is generally safe during normal driving. When the line of sight aligns the angle between the dashboard and the pillar with the centerline, the car body is exactly 60 centimeters away from the centerline. Determining the right wheel position: 1. When the right wiper intersects with a target, the right tire will roll over that target. When the line of sight aligns the wiper with the target, the tire will roll over the target. 2. When the right washer aligns with the edge target of the road, the car body is still 60 centimeters away from the roadside. When the washer overlaps with the roadside target, the car body is 60 centimeters away from the roadside.

How to Troubleshoot Electric Power Steering System Failures?

Power steering troubleshooting methods: inspect the steering gear, steering pump control valve, oil cup filter, and steering fluid, then clean the entire power steering system; check other rotating components, and replace the steering pump or steering gear assembly under special circumstances. The following outlines the causes of power steering failures: 1. Overloading of the steering system: causes excessive wear of the stator and rotor inside the steering pump, leading to irregular movement of the oil within the pump; 2. Steering gear failure: loose installation of the steering gear or steering pump on the bracket, internal wear of the steering gear, and improper adjustment of gears and racks.
