The comparison between the Kia Sportage SUV and the KAMIQ in terms of engine and transmission is as follows: 1. From the perspective of the engine: The Kia Sportage SUV is equipped with a 1.4T or 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, with fuel consumption similar to the KAMIQ, naturally opting for the larger displacement. The KAMIQ is equipped with a 1.2T or 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, making the Kia Sportage SUV more powerful in comparison. 2. From the perspective of the transmission: The Kia Sportage SUV uses a 6MT manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers smoother shifting and more advanced technology. The KAMIQ uses a 5MT manual transmission or a 6-speed AT transmission, which are indeed practical transmission options.

I've been researching SUVs and recently test drove the Kia Sportage (also known as the Zhirun) and the Skoda Kamiq (Komik), finding quite noticeable differences. The Sportage has a more sporty exterior, delivers robust power when driving, offers strong acceleration, and maintains decent fuel efficiency in urban areas at around 8L/100km. The Kamiq features a minimalist European design, provides stable handling suitable for beginners, though its acceleration is slower, with urban fuel consumption approximately 7.5L/100km. In terms of interior, the Sportage boasts a high-tech feel with a user-friendly large infotainment screen supporting voice control; the Kamiq focuses more on practical space, comfortably seating three adults in the back. Price-wise, the Sportage starts at around 180,000 RMB, with the high-end version offering good value; the Kamiq's base model is priced at 160,000 RMB with cheaper maintenance. Overall, the Sportage suits young drivers who enjoy spirited driving, while the Kamiq is a great choice for family commuting—don’t forget to check the latest promotions on the official website before test driving.

Do I need to release the throttle when using paddle shifters?

Paddle shifters do not require releasing the throttle. Paddle shifters are gear-shifting devices installed for semi-automatic transmissions in cars, designed to enable gear changes directly by pulling the paddles without releasing the throttle. As a quick-shifting device, paddle shifters can significantly enhance driving maneuverability. Typically located behind the steering wheel, when operating paddle shifters, drivers simply need to shift the gear into D, S, or manual mode. With paddle shifters, drivers can complete upshifts and downshifts without taking their hands off the steering wheel. It's important to note that automatic transmission cars equipped with paddle shifters must be manual-automatic integrated, as the function of paddle shifters is precisely for gear shifting.

What is the engine rated speed?

When starting the vehicle, the engine speed will reach around 1200-1500 rpm. This is because a low speed can easily cause the engine to stall during startup. Once the engine reaches normal operating conditions, the speed will drop, usually settling around 800 rpm. During gear shifting, the speed typically ranges between 2000-2500 rpm. Below is some relevant information about car engine speeds: 1. During cold starts: If the engine idle speed is below 800 rpm or above 1200 rpm when starting, this is a sign of poor engine performance. 2. When the engine operates above 4000 rpm: Due to the shortened combustion time, fuel combustion becomes incomplete, leading to a significant increase in fuel consumption. If driving normally in fifth gear, the vehicle speed usually reaches around 150 km/h, which is already a relatively dangerous speed.

Do I need to retake the test if my driver's license has expired for 20 days?

If your driver's license has expired for 20 days, you do not need to retake the test. You only need to bring the relevant documents to the vehicle management office to replace your motor vehicle driver's license. The validity period of a driver's license is divided into three terms: the first is six years, the second is ten years, and the third is long-term. As long as the motor vehicle driver's license has not been deducted 12 points in each scoring cycle, the motor vehicle driver's license can be renewed according to the relevant term. On the motor vehicle driver's license, there will be an accurate renewal time to avoid the problem of overdue renewal. Driver's license expiration handling process: Bring all relevant materials to the local vehicle management office to handle the renewal business; receive and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", and after filling it out, submit the relevant materials to the staff for review; after the review is passed, pay the fee, wait for 10-20 minutes, and you can receive the new driver's license. Materials required for renewal: the original and copy of the driver's ID card; the motor vehicle driver's license; a one-inch white background color photo without a hat; "Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a medical institution with qualified health examination qualifications, such as a second-level or above hospital, township health center, community health service center, health examination center, etc.
