From my personal observation of the new models, the 2018 Elantra has a more avant-garde appearance compared to the 2016 version. The front grille adopts a more dynamic hexagonal design, the tail light lines are sharper, and the overall body sits lower, giving it a more sporty feel. The interior has seen noticeable upgrades, such as an enlarged 8-inch central display screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, with a softer touch. The powertrain still features a 1.6L engine, but the 2018 model is tuned for smoother performance, with more fluid acceleration, making city driving much more agile. Safety features have also been enhanced with the addition of blind-spot monitoring and a standard rearview camera, providing greater peace of mind for daily driving. If you're considering buying a used one, I recommend checking the headlights and body panel gaps—the 2018 model has more refined detailing and definitely turns heads on the road.

How often should the coolant in a Leiling be replaced?

The coolant in a Leiling should be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the coolant level regularly and top it up if it's insufficient. If you notice any suspended particles, sediment, or discoloration in the coolant, replace it immediately and flush the system. Coolant replacement procedure: Before fully replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any leaks or cracks in the pipes, with particular attention to the five-way hose. The five-way hose, named for its five connection points, distributes coolant to various parts of the vehicle. If there's any coolant leakage in this area, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant and flush the channels with clean water. Add water to the coolant reservoir and continue filling until clean water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Keep adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the heater core completely. About an hour after draining, add new coolant through the radiator hose to allow quick flow into the radiator. Then, fill the coolant reservoir with another container of coolant until it's nearly full. Run the engine for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Top up the coolant to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

Does the GTI come with a manual transmission?

Golf GTI imports have manual transmissions, but domestically there are no manual transmissions available. Here is some relevant information: 1. A car that uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also called a manual transmission) to adjust speed. That is, the driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. 2. Manual transmission cars allow drivers to better experience the thrill of climbing hills, accelerating, and the joy of driving. Because the operation is more complex, it requires the driver to have higher driving skills. Although coasting in neutral with a manual transmission saves fuel, because the car loses power, especially during turns, it can lead to risks such as understeer and tailspin. At the same time, if the engine stalls during idle, the car will lose power steering and braking, increasing safety hazards while driving.

How Often is Vehicle Annual Inspection Required?

Inspection time requirements: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. For vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years, inspection is required every two years; for vehicles over 10 years but under 15 years, annual inspection is required; for vehicles over 15 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Commercial passenger vehicles require annual inspection within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles require annual inspection within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspection is required every 6 months. Imported vehicles follow the same rules as other vehicle types and can undergo periodic inspection at any testing facility. Inspection process: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and functional; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records; verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles" requirements. Check whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or reconstructed; whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual vehicle condition and whether any changes have been approved and documented. Check whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether replacement is needed. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is registered, along with the maximum seating capacity in the cab, is printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including trailer tailgate) exterior displays the license plate number enlarged 2-3 times as required. For individually or jointly owned vehicles, check whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door. The lettering must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).
