An automobile chassis consists of four major systems: the power train system, the running gear system, the steering system, and the braking system. Its function is to receive power from the engine, enable vehicle movement, and ensure the car operates normally according to the driver's control. The running gear system is composed of the frame, axles, suspension, and wheels. The steering system includes the steering control mechanism, steering gear, and steering linkage. Functions of each chassis component: 1. The power train system transmits engine power to the driving wheels; 2. The running gear system supports and installs various automotive components, transferring and bearing loads both on and under the vehicle to ensure normal operation; 3. The steering system ensures the vehicle moves in the direction selected by the driver; 4. The braking system enables vehicle deceleration, stopping, and ensures reliable parking.

What is the Intelligent Grille of the Maxus G20?

The application purpose of the intelligent grille is to cover functional apertures and reduce the drag coefficient. When the vehicle does not require cooling airflow, it electrically closes the vents on the radiator grille, thereby reducing air inflow into the engine compartment. This measure not only optimizes aerodynamics but also reduces fuel consumption. Chassis Performance: After upgrading the rear suspension to a multi-link independent suspension, there has been a noticeable improvement in filtering out minor bumps, which, for a business MPV model, ensures in-cabin comfort. The chassis tuning was assisted by the UK's Mira company, providing excellent body support during cornering. Power Performance: The SAIC MAXUS G20 is equipped with a domestically leading 2.0T direct-injection turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 160KW and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring ample and smooth driving performance with ease.

Installation Position of Corolla Door Anti-Collision Strips?

Installed on the outer side of the door and near the edge, anti-collision strips can be installed on all four doors (front and rear). Functions of door anti-collision strips: Enhance the body lines and dynamic feel of the vehicle, serving a decorative purpose. They also protect the vehicle's sides from scratches or impacts caused by external objects. Due to the small proportion of the anti-collision strip relative to the vehicle body, it provides protection when the side of the vehicle is impacted. Structural methods of anti-collision strips and the vehicle body: Embedded type: During the vehicle body molding process, corresponding grooves are left, and the anti-collision strips are embedded into these grooves. Flat type: The vehicle body is made flat, with several holes left in the corresponding positions, and the corresponding studs of the anti-collision strips are inserted and pasted into these holes. Fixed type: The anti-collision strips and the vehicle body are fixed together using nuts and bolts.
