2020 Outlander's three major components are the engine, chassis, and transmission. Engine Introduction: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term engine can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit. Chassis Introduction: The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system in a vehicle. It supports and installs the vehicle's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the vehicle, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal operation. Transmission Introduction: A transmission is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. It is used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gears.

As a Mitsubishi enthusiast, I've driven the 2020 Outlander, and its three major components are quite impressive. The engine is a 2.4-liter MIVEC gasoline engine with intelligent variable valve technology, delivering smooth and efficient power output. The transmission is a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) from Jatco, providing comfortable daily driving, though there's a slight delay during rapid acceleration. The chassis is built on Mitsubishi's professional SUV platform, paired with the S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) system, offering exceptional stability on slippery or rough terrains. Particularly, the PHEV version comes with a hybrid system, capable of pure electric driving for about 50 kilometers, making it super fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. This combination is highly reliable, backed by a 10-year warranty, giving peace of mind to fans and making it suitable for performance-oriented users.

As an owner, I can share my experience with the three major components of the 2020 Outlander. The engine is a 2.4L four-cylinder, providing ample power with low fuel consumption, averaging around 8-9 liters per 100 km in city driving. The transmission is a CVT, offering smooth performance with no gear-shifting jerks. The chassis is sturdy and comfortable, with a high seating position and wide visibility, making it stable during turns. After two to three years of driving, this system has never had any issues, and maintenance is simple—just an annual oil change. The spacious interior offers ample cargo capacity, and passengers find it comfortable. The four-wheel-drive system ensures stability in rain or snow. Overall, it offers great value for money, holds its value well as a used car, and is a reliable choice.

From a young person's perspective, the 2020 Outlander features three major components: a 2.4L gasoline or PHEV hybrid engine, a CVT transmission, and a sturdy chassis. This setup is both practical and stylish, providing sufficient power for daily commutes; the transmission is smooth but lacks some sportiness; the four-wheel-drive chassis ensures stability on rainy or snowy roads and offers great fun for outdoor camping. The spacious interior can easily accommodate gear, and the sound system is impressive. With a moderate new car price and used models available for just tens of thousands, it's ideal for budget-conscious young adults.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Braking in a New Car?

The reasons for abnormal noise when braking in a new car are: 1. The brake pads are in the break-in period. New brake pads and brake discs require a break-in process, and this abnormal noise is normal during this time; 2. Metal particles appear in the brake pads. The original factory brake pads that come with the car are semi-metallic, and when worn to a certain extent, unevenly distributed high-hardness metal particles may appear. These metal particles spread across the brake pads and create noise when in contact with the brake disc; 3. Excessive wear of the brake disc and brake pads. When excessively worn, abnormal noise may occur, so regular inspection and replacement are necessary. The replacement cycle for brake pads is 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, and for brake discs, it is 100,000 to 120,000 kilometers; 4. Deformation of the brake disc. If the car produces abnormal noise and vibration when braking, it may be due to a deformed brake disc, which requires replacement.

How should the driver handle a rear tire blowout?

The driver's response to a rear tire blowout: When a rear tire blows out, the rear of the car will sway and bounce. The driver should firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car moving straight, then press the brake pedal several times to create braking and shift the vehicle's pressure forward using inertia, thereby reducing the load on the rear tire. Subsequently, the car should be brought to a slow stop. It is crucial not to use emergency braking to stop the car when a rear tire blows out, as this could cause the vehicle to skid sideways and damage the wheels. Since the rear wheels do not have a steering function and generally bear less weight compared to the front wheels, a rear tire blowout is not extremely dangerous. Simply holding the steering wheel steady is sufficient.

What is the function of the engine intake manifold?

The function of the engine intake manifold is to distribute the combustible mixture supplied by the carburetor to each cylinder, collect the exhaust gases after the operation of each cylinder, and deliver them to the exhaust pipe and muffler before being discharged into the atmosphere. The intake manifold is usually made of cast iron, but it can also be cast from aluminum alloy. These two materials can be cast as one piece or separately. The intake manifold is fixed to the cylinder block or cylinder head with studs, and asbestos gaskets are installed at the joint surfaces to prevent air leakage. The intake manifold is located between the throttle valve and the engine intake valve. It is called a manifold because after air enters the throttle valve, it passes through the manifold buffer system, and the air flow path diverges here, corresponding to the number of engine cylinders. For example, a four-cylinder engine has four paths, and a five-cylinder engine has five paths, directing air into each cylinder respectively.
