I usually drive to and from work, and I feel that the Golf leans more towards practicality, being more affordable and sufficient for daily use, such as its spacious interior and inexpensive maintenance. In comparison, the Audi A3 feels more refined to drive, with high-end interior materials, but it comes at a significantly higher price, requiring a bigger budget. Additionally, when parking, I find the Golf straightforward and easy to operate, with a clean dashboard layout, making it suitable for family commuting. The A3, on the other hand, has softer seats and better sound insulation, catering to young people seeking a bit of luxury. Overall, the Golf is like my reliable old buddy, while the A3 is like the trendy new favorite of the neighbors. Just remember to drive safely, and don't dwell too long on the price difference.

Is a Hybrid Vehicle Issued a Green License Plate or a Blue One?

Plug-in hybrid vehicles require green license plates, while conventional hybrid vehicles use blue license plates. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a type of new energy vehicle that bridges the gap between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered cars. It features both the conventional car components—such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel lines, and fuel tank—and the electric vehicle elements, including the battery, electric motor, and control circuitry. Conventional hybrid vehicles, on the other hand, are equipped with a drivetrain that combines two or more individual power systems capable of operating simultaneously. The driving power is supplied by either system alone or collectively, depending on the actual driving conditions. Below are the key differences between plug-in hybrids and conventional hybrids: Power Supply Method: Plug-in hybrids are characterized by their ability to charge via an external power source, much like pure electric vehicles, whereas conventional hybrids do not require charging. Battery and Fuel Tank Roles: Plug-in hybrids have larger batteries and smaller fuel tanks, primarily relying on the battery for propulsion. In contrast, conventional hybrids feature smaller batteries and larger fuel tanks, with the internal combustion engine serving as the main power source. The battery only provides energy during initial acceleration.

At what percentage does the engine oil require maintenance?

Engine oil cannot display its quantity; the percentage shown refers to the oil life, which is a comprehensive calculation based on the vehicle's preset mileage, time, and the distance and duration of driving. This percentage is adjustable, and generally, maintenance is recommended when it falls below around 10%. Normally, maintenance should be performed according to the mileage. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines, with its main functions being to reduce friction and wear on moving parts and to remove sludge and varnish from the engine.
