The differences between the Vellfire and the Alphard are: 1. Different front-end exterior design: The Vellfire features a layered grille with connected upper and lower sections, and the sport version adopts a large-sized horizontal grille; the Alphard uses an exaggerated "large fang" grille, with chrome trim extending into the headlights. 2. Different headlights and taillights: The Vellfire has split-type headlights and taillights, while the Alphard has integrated headlights and taillights. 3. Different features: The Vellfire offers keyless entry for all doors, rear-seat multimedia control, and a streaming media rearview mirror; the Alphard only has front-seat keyless entry. 4. Different configurations: The Vellfire lacks electric trunk position memory, headlight delay-off, and second-row seat fore-aft adjustment, while the Alphard includes these features.

Yesterday I accompanied a friend to check out these two models and found the Vellfire's front fascia design more sporty, with its mesh grille paired with large chrome accents, while the distinctive Z-shaped side character lines really stand out. The Alphard, on the other hand, resembles a traditional gentleman in a suit, with its large chrome shield-shaped grille giving off a more business-oriented vibe. Behind the wheel, the Vellfire's steering feels noticeably lighter, especially when going over speed bumps—its sport-tuned suspension handles vibrations more crisply. My friend mentioned that the dealership salesperson quietly revealed the Alphard has steeper markups, whereas the Vellfire's rear airline-style seats come with massage functions and two additional adjustable ventilation settings compared to the Alphard.

Why is 4WD safer than 2WD in rainy weather?

4WD vehicles are safer than 2WD in rainy weather for the following reasons: All four wheels of a 4WD vehicle have driving force, combining the stability of front-wheel drive with the agility of rear-wheel drive, thereby enhancing driving safety on wet or snowy roads. When encountering sharp turns or skidding on wet/snowy surfaces, the 4WD system can automatically control torque distribution between front and rear axles as needed to maintain driving stability and safety. 2WD vehicles differ significantly. With front-wheel drive on slippery surfaces, the front wheels must simultaneously handle steering and driving tasks. During sharp turns or wet/snowy conditions, the front wheels may momentarily lose traction, causing light steering or failure, creating hazardous situations. Rear-wheel drive vehicles are prone to oversteer during sharp turns or on wet/snowy roads, leading to fishtailing. Therefore, 4WD is considerably safer than 2WD on wet surfaces.

What Causes Water Inside Car Spark Plugs?

Water inside spark plugs is mainly caused by the following factors: Severe engine overheating leading to cylinder cracking and coolant leakage into the cylinder. Damaged engine cylinder head gasket allowing water into the cylinder liner. Cylinder liner cavitation causing water ingress when the engine is off. Vehicle wading through water, allowing water to be sucked in through the air filter. Worn connecting hoses between the intake manifold and air cleaner permitting water entry. For engines like Cummins equipped with air coolers, cooler leakage. Worn seals in water-cooled turbochargers. Damaged spark plugs may exhibit these symptoms: Hard starting, reduced power, excessive emissions, increased fuel consumption. Spark plug replacement procedure: First, open the hood and remove the engine's plastic cover. Detach the high-voltage distributor wires, marking each wire's position according to cylinder numbering to avoid confusion. Then use a spark plug socket to remove the plugs sequentially, checking for external debris like leaves or dust during removal - ensure thorough cleaning. Next, insert new spark plugs into the holes, hand-tightening them for several turns before final tightening with the socket wrench. Finally, reinstall the high-voltage wires in the correct firing order and secure the cover plate.

What are the standards for obscuring license plates?

Obscuring a license plate refers to the act of intentionally using objects to cover the license plate number of a motor vehicle, which constitutes the act of forging or altering a motor vehicle license plate. Deliberately obscuring or defacing a license plate is primarily characterized by intent. Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states: Motor vehicle license plates shall be hung in designated positions at the front and rear of the vehicle, maintaining clarity and completeness. Introduction to license plates: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung at the front and rear of a vehicle, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. Function of license plates: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary purpose is to identify the region to which a vehicle belongs and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration information based on the license plate.

How much does turning on the AC increase fuel consumption in an SUV?

Turning on the AC in an SUV increases fuel consumption by approximately 20%. The specific impact depends on the vehicle's displacement and speed. For instance, a car that normally consumes 10 liters per 100 kilometers will see an increase of about 2 liters when the AC is on. To check the remaining fuel in the tank, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F means the tank is nearly full. Maintenance tips for the fuel tank include: Draining accumulated water and sediment from the tank, and inspecting fuel line connections and switches for any leaks. For fuel tank caps equipped with air and vapor valves, ensure the vent holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent contaminants from entering the tank and clogging the fuel lines during refueling. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be in good condition to prevent fuel spillage while driving.

What does it mean when the driver's license status is locked on the Traffic Management 12123 platform?

When the driver's license status is locked on the Traffic Management 12123 platform, it means that certain procedures such as license transfer cannot be processed temporarily. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Content: Driver's license transfer refers to the procedure where a vehicle owner relocates their driver's license to a new residence due to reasons such as job transfer or moving, in order to avoid the hassle of annual license review. It can be categorized into two types: license transfer out and transfer in. 2. Requirements: The applicant must appear in person to handle the procedure and sign on the spot; it cannot be delegated to others. 3. Required materials: Proof of identity, which includes the original and a copy of the 'Resident Identity Card'; proof of household registration transfer, which is the 'Permanent Population Registration Form' or 'Household Registration Card'; for active military personnel (including armed police), the proof of identity includes the original and a copy of the 'Resident Identity Card' or the original and a copy of the military ID issued by the People's Liberation Army or the Armed Police Force, along with an original certificate issued by the military unit at or above the regiment level stating the ID number and residential address; an out-of-town motor vehicle driver's license; and a white-background standard digital photo.

What is the gauge on the far left of the dashboard?

The gauge on the far left of the car dashboard is the water temperature gauge. While driving, the water temperature gauge should generally indicate the midline or slightly higher as normal. If you notice the water temperature is too high or too low, immediate maintenance is required. If the water temperature is too high, you must stop the vehicle immediately and not continue driving. If the water temperature is low, you can drive to a repair shop for inspection. Notes on the water temperature gauge: The dial is larger than the water temperature gauge and is used to measure the engine speed. Generally, the speed pointer is safe within the white scale range, while the red scale indicates a dangerous speed range. How the water temperature gauge works: The sensor of the water temperature gauge is a thermistor-type sensor, fixed with threads on the engine cooling water passage. The thermistor determines the current flowing through the coil winding of the water temperature gauge, thereby driving the pointer to swing. In the past, tap water was used as the cooling liquid for car engines, but now many car engine cooling systems use specialized coolant, so it is also called the coolant temperature gauge. Normal temperature range for car water temperature: The water temperature gauge ranges from 0 to 130 degrees, with the normal temperature being the central 90 degrees. When the water temperature stabilizes at 90 degrees, it indicates that the engine's heat generation has stabilized, reaching the optimal working condition.
