The differences between the Yidong and the new Santana are as follows: 1. Body dimensions: The new Santana has a length, width, and height of 4473mm × 1706mm × 1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2603mm; the Yidong measures 4620mm × 1820mm × 1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2660mm, indicating that the Yidong is slightly larger in size than the new Santana. 2. Interior: The new Santana adopts a family-style design, appearing overall steady and reserved. The interior design of the Changan Yidong is dynamic and youthful, with a dark upper and light lower color scheme that is more suitable for family use. Both the new Santana and the Yidong feature a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, which feels somewhat firm, and both have manual two-way adjustment without telescopic capability.

What Causes the Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary?

The reasons for noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary are: 1. Lack of lubrication in the steering column, resulting in high friction; 2. Insufficient power steering fluid; 3. Issues with the universal joint; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings in the suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. The steering wheel is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the effort required from the driver. The steering intermediate shaft, which connects the steering gear to the steering shaft, enhances the versatility of the steering gear, compensates for manufacturing and installation errors, and optimizes the placement of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.

Do motorcycles need to pay vehicle purchase tax?

Motorcycles are subject to vehicle purchase tax, and the tax rate for motorcycles is the same as that for cars, which must be paid according to regulations. The following is an introduction to the purchase tax: Introduction to Vehicle Purchase Tax: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within the country. The scope of taxation includes cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, trailers, and agricultural transport vehicles. Purchase refers to the act of acquiring and using taxable vehicles through means such as buying, importing, self-production, receiving as a gift, winning as a prize, or other methods. Vehicle purchase tax has the characteristics of a single scope of taxation, a single collection link, a single tax rate, a single collection method, a specific purpose for collection, and being levied outside the price, with no transfer of tax burden. The Role of Vehicle Purchase Tax: To reasonably raise construction funds, the state participates in the redistribution of national income by levying vehicle purchase tax, which can better convert part of the consumption fund into fiscal funds, thereby raising more funds for the state to meet the needs of exercising state functions. To standardize government behavior, due to the fundamental difference between taxes and fees, replacing fees with taxes and levying vehicle purchase tax helps to rationalize the relationship between taxes and fees, further improve the fiscal and taxation system, and achieve continuous optimization of the tax structure. Secondly, the "fee-to-tax" reform can not only standardize government behavior and curb arbitrary charges but also play a positive role in correctly handling the relationship between taxes and fees and deepening and improving the fiscal and taxation system reform.

What are the real evaluations from Haval F7 owners?

Power is excellent, acceleration and overtaking are easy, and climbing is very capable. The space is also quite good, and it feels relatively spacious when seated. The downside is noticeable wind noise at high speeds, with slight drafts from the doors and windows, which is more obvious on highways. Below is a relevant introduction about the Haval F7: Exterior Design: The 2020 Haval F7 continues with the space-tech aesthetic design language, with the grille upgraded to a shield-style and a new golden color added. The entire front face design is very simple, sharp, and full of technological appeal. The floating spoiler is novel and unique, helping to reduce wind resistance and save fuel consumption. The 19-inch wheel rims combined with black wheel arches make the overall proportions more harmonious. The full LED headlights echo the front lights; the tank-track-style lower protective panels at the front and rear highlight the off-road elements of this urban SUV; the continuous tailgate trim integrates with the turn signals/reverse lights, enhancing the overall sense of unity. Interior Design: The interior continues the circular smart cockpit design, with a new gray-black interior and unique 'F' logos on the seatbacks, enhancing recognition and exclusivity. The driver-centric wraparound design positions the central control screen and functional buttons towards the driver, better aligning with ergonomics and significantly improving operational convenience.

What Are the Differences in Tire Sizes?

The differences in tire sizes are: 1. Distance variation: Larger tires cover more distance per revolution of the connected driveshaft, while smaller tires cover less distance per revolution. 2. Traction variation: Larger tires have greater contact area with the road, enhancing vehicle traction, whereas smaller tires have less contact area, resulting in weaker traction. Automobile tires can be categorized into pneumatic tires and solid tires based on their carcass structure. Most modern vehicles use pneumatic tires, which are further divided into high-pressure tires, low-pressure tires, and ultra-low-pressure tires based on internal air pressure. Low-pressure tires are commonly used across various vehicle types.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lamando?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Lamando is 5.4-5.6L/100km. Currently, there are 3 models of the Lamando available for sale: the Comfort Edition, the Luxury Phantom Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km, and the Fashion Edition with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 5.4-7.6L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Rough driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during cold starts does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

How to View the Dash Cam in the Car?

The method to view the dash cam in the car is: press the menu button and select the preview mode to view. A dash cam is an instrument that records images and sounds during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire process of the car's movement in video and sound, providing evidence for traffic accidents. Generally, dash cams do not have built-in memory and rely on memory card expansion or mobile digital hard drives. The installation method for a car dash cam is: 1. Use a clip to fix the dash cam near the car's rearview mirror; 2. Determine the length of the power cord and decide the wiring plan based on its length; 3. Insert the power cord into the gap of the car's ceiling and guide it down along the door frame to behind the glove box.
