There are differences in configuration and engine between the 2015 and 2016 Yuexiang V7 models. Configuration of both models: The V7 series lacks daytime running lights, tire pressure monitoring, and rear center headrests. Manual transmission models do not feature keyless entry/start, and the tires are from second-tier brands. In comparison, starting from the mid-range 560 model, it comes equipped with Continental tires, keyless entry/start, and standard daytime running lights, tire pressure monitoring, and rear center headrests. The 560 offers more features than the V7, though at a higher price point. Both models offer good value for money. Engines of both models: The Liuzhou-made 1.8L engine outperforms the previous General Motors 1.8L engine in terms of noise suppression and fuel efficiency. The 1.6L engine in the 2015 V7 appears to be part of Changan's self-developed BlueCore series, which is quite commendable among domestic brands. Both engines perform well in low-end torque for city driving, but their power reserves are just adequate, given their displacement. It's likely that the target users of both models do not have high demands in this aspect.

What does 4WD mean on a car?

4WD on a car stands for four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive means that both the front and rear wheels of the car have power, and the engine output torque can be distributed in different proportions to all the wheels according to the road conditions to improve the car's driving capability. Four-wheel drive can be further divided into four driving modes: full-time drive, part-time drive, on-demand drive, and a hybrid of part-time and on-demand drive. Among them, full-time drive maintains a four-wheel drive mode at all times, distributing the engine output torque at a 50:50 ratio between the front and rear wheels during driving, providing excellent driving control and tracking performance. Part-time drive allows the driver to switch between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions, which is a common driving mode for off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs.

What measures should be taken if a tire suddenly bursts while driving at high speed?

If the front tire suddenly bursts while driving, the car will immediately veer to the side of the burst tire. At this point, you should use both hands to firmly control the direction of the car, quickly reduce the throttle, and ensure the car slowly moves to the roadside, decelerating smoothly. Utilize the engine's drag resistance to bring the car to a stop on its own. Before the speed is sufficiently reduced, do not rush to use the brakes, as this could cause the car to violently skid. If the rear tire suddenly bursts while driving, the car may sway, but the direction generally remains controllable. In this case, you can repeatedly and gently press the brake to shift the car's load to the front wheels, maintain control of the direction, and bring the car to a stop by the roadside.

Difference between GF-5 and GF-6 engine oil?

Engine oil GF-5 has a viscosity grade of 1000, while GF-6 has a viscosity grade of 5000, with the difference lying in their varying viscosity grades. Compared to ILSAC GF-5, the GF-6 specification offers numerous improvements. It maintains fuel economy and enhances engine durability, wear protection, prevention of low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), reduction of timing chain wear, turbocharger deposit control, and sludge reduction. Stringent emission and fuel economy regulations drive changes in passenger car hardware system design and engine operating conditions, demanding higher performance from lubricants, including new dimensions of hardware protection. This means OEMs require more robust engine oils. These factors, along with the discontinuation of some current engine tests, are key drivers behind the development of the ILSAC GF-6 specification.

What does a bright red P on the vehicle dashboard mean?

P light on indicates that the electronic parking brake is engaged. If the P light with a slash is illuminated, it indicates a malfunction in the electronic parking brake. In this case, drive with caution and visit a repair shop as soon as possible for inspection. Below is an introduction to the electronic parking brake system: 1. Introduction: Auto Hold is an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Difference from the handbrake: The electronic parking brake is an evolved version of the traditional handbrake, with no change in function, only the control method has shifted from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

How to distinguish between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions in Volkswagen?

Methods to distinguish between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions in Volkswagen: 1. Check torque and drive type: As long as the engine's maximum torque does not exceed 250nm (for Volkswagen, this can only be the 1.4T and 1.2T models), and it is not four-wheel drive, it is a dry dual-clutch transmission. All others are wet dual-clutch transmissions. 2. Volkswagen models labeled with 230 or 280 at the rear use dry dual-clutch transmissions, while those labeled with 330 or 380 use wet dual-clutch transmissions. The Volkswagen brand is always committed to providing customers with cutting-edge technological achievements, unique designs, and the best quality products in all automotive segments. Its car lineup includes not only mid-size and compact cars such as the Golf, Passat, Lupo, and Polo, but also top luxury vehicles like the Phaeton and Touareg.
