MIVEC Mitsubishi refers to the Mitsubishi V3. MIVEC denotes the engine equipped with Mitsubishi's MIVEC technology. Here are more related details: 1. MIVEC: MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system) is a system where the ECU sends precise commands to control the intake camshaft phase. The engine's ECU automatically searches for the optimal valve timing corresponding to engine speed, intake volume, throttle position, and coolant temperature under various driving conditions. It controls the camshaft timing hydraulic control valve, uses sensor signals to detect actual valve timing, and performs feedback control to compensate for system errors, achieving the best valve timing position. This effectively enhances the car's power and performance while reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. 2. V3 Lingyue: From the introduction of the Lancer to the birth of the V3 Lingyue, Southeast Motors has undergone a transformation from introduction and absorption to high-level independent innovation. After more than a decade of continuous exploration, improvement, and innovation, Southeast Motors is comprehensively rising on the path of creating high-performance, high-quality, cost-effective, and energy-efficient environmentally friendly cars. As Southeast Motors' first compact sedan, the launch of the V3 Lingyue adds a 'new force' to Southeast Motors' product lineup, making its product layout more complete. The V3 Lingyue boasts international quality standards shared with brands like Mitsubishi, Chrysler, and Dodge, along with a cost-effective price setting, which is expected to lead the compact sedan market, generating high expectations.

Oh, talking about MIVEC in Mitsubishi cars, the full name of this technology is Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control. It sounds quite advanced but is actually super practical. You can find it in many Mitsubishi models, like the earlier Lancer series, especially the Lancer Evolution, which showed significant power improvement; in SUVs, from the Outlander to the Pajero Sport, it's widely used; and even in urban models like the ASX and Mirage, it's common. The benefits? It optimizes engine performance, saving fuel at low speeds while providing quick acceleration at high speeds, making the drive more responsive. I remember a friend who drove an Outlander mentioned it saved about 10% more fuel on highways compared to regular cars. The technology keeps updating, but the core idea is to make the engine work smarter and safer. In short, if you're buying a Mitsubishi, you'll often see the MIVEC logo, either as standard or an optional feature.

I've been driving Mitsubishi cars for many years, and the MIVEC technology is like a smart little butler that helps me save a lot of fuel. My Outlander comes with this feature, and during daily commutes in traffic jams, the fuel consumption can be as low as around 12 kilometers per liter. Similar models like the Lancer and ASX commonly feature this technology, especially the EVO series which performs exceptionally on the racetrack. As an average user, the most noticeable benefits are the smooth acceleration without any jerking, reduced engine noise, and fewer worries about valve issues during maintenance. Mitsubishi has widely adopted this technology, from entry-level compact cars to SUVs, but the availability depends on the model year. I also tried my friend's new Outlander, and the upgraded MIVEC system is even more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. When it comes to driving, reliability and practicality are what matter most.

MIVEC is Mitsubishi's signature technology, specifically designed for performance vehicles. I'm into car modifications, and models like the Lancer Evolution rely on this tech to boost horsepower, allowing the engine to unleash strong power at high RPMs. Other enthusiast cars like the Eclipse GT and early Galant models were also equipped with MIVEC, and even off-road SUVs like the Pajero Sport didn't miss out. This technology is quite renowned in the racing world, reducing power loss by adjusting valve timing, making acceleration lightning-fast and cornering stable. It might not show much in short-distance driving, but it's exhilarating at high speeds or on the track. With MIVEC, Mitsubishi vehicles take reliability up a notch.

How Many Months Does a New Car Take to Be Considered a Stock Car?

New cars that have been in stock for 3 months are considered stock cars. Stock Cars: In fact, there is no clear legal definition for so-called "stock cars," but in the automotive sales industry, there is indeed a term called "stock cars," which generally refers to cars that have been in stock for more than three months without being sold. Commercial Vehicles: As a commodity, cars are large in size, expensive, and have high storage costs, while also occupying a significant amount of dealers' capital. Therefore, dealers generally do not allow commercial vehicles to remain in stock for extended periods. However, there are indeed many cars in the market that have been in stock for more than three months. As for quality issues, they still need to be judged based on the actual vehicle.

What type of suspension does the Tiggo 5 use?

The Tiggo 5 utilizes a MacPherson independent suspension for the front and a double-wishbone independent suspension for the rear. The MacPherson independent suspension is widely adopted, as most vehicles employ this type for their front suspension due to its simple structure, excellent reliability and durability, as well as its compact design. It's worth noting that the rear suspension of the Tiggo 5 is not the typical multi-link independent suspension. Instead, it features a double-wishbone independent suspension, which consists of only two links, hence the name. The dimensions of the Tiggo 5 are 4506mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1740mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.
