The differences between US-spec and China-spec vehicles are as follows: 1. Different configurations: US-spec vehicles are mostly produced based on personalized orders according to the needs of the owners. Consumers generally choose additional features on top of a basic configuration, which also results in US-spec vehicles usually having fewer standard features compared to China-spec vehicles (features like xenon headlights, adjustable suspension, and sunroof are often standard in China-spec luxury vehicles but usually optional in US-spec models). 2. Different performance: US traffic regulations place greater emphasis on vehicle safety performance. Equipment related to personal safety, such as tire pressure monitoring systems, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) systems, are mandatory installations for vehicles. In China, as of now, there are no mandatory installation standards for ABS. 3. Different displays: The display interface of US-spec models is in English, while China-spec models have fully localized Chinese interfaces. However, this difference is not absolute, as some dealers may localize the display interface.

How Long Can a Private Family Car Be Used?

Private cars are mandatorily scrapped after reaching 600,000 kilometers. Using the vehicle's mileage as a standard for scrapping is relatively flexible. When a vehicle reaches 600,000 kilometers, the owner must proceed with scrapping. If the vehicle is required to undergo annual inspections and fails to do so on time, penalty points and fines will be imposed. The key areas to inspect for a private car are as follows: 1. Engine Oil Level Check: Engine oil is essential for vehicle operation. During daily use, it's important to check the oil level. Using the dipstick, you can assess the oil's condition. Park the vehicle on a level surface, remove the dipstick, and ensure the oil level is between the F (Full) and L (Low) marks. If the level is below the minimum, add oil promptly. 2. Coolant: The car's coolant also needs regular inspection. A qualified coolant prevents freezing and overheating. When checking the engine coolant, avoid doing so when the engine is hot, as opening the radiator cap may result in burns from splashing coolant or high-temperature steam. When adding or replacing coolant, ensure not to mix different brands, as this can cause sedimentation and impair the coolant's performance. 3. Brake Fluid Level Check: If the brake fluid is near or below the minimum level, it may indicate a leak or excessive brake pad wear. Add brake fluid promptly to avoid affecting braking performance. Always use the same type of brake fluid when topping up. 4. Battery Maintenance Check: Regularly inspect the battery's condition and charge level. Ensure the car battery is securely fastened and the electrolyte level is normal. If the electrolyte level is abnormal, add electrolyte as needed. When the vehicle is parked for extended periods, take care to protect the battery.
