Audi 35, 40, and 45 represent the horsepower of the engine. The larger the number, the greater the horsepower of the engine, and the better the performance. 35 generally represents 1.4T; 40 generally represents 2.0T low power; 45 generally represents 2.0T high power. Of course, it can also be understood that the larger the number on the tail badge, the stronger the power. Audi is a luxury car brand under Audi AG, a subsidiary of the German Volkswagen Group. Its logo consists of four interlocking rings. Currently, it is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany, and has branches in many countries, including China.

I previously learned about Audi's 35, 40, and 45 tail badge numbers, which represent the car's power output levels rather than direct horsepower figures. They are codes calculated based on engine power (kW). For example, 35 generally indicates 110-130kW, approximately 150 horsepower, suitable for city commuting and fuel efficiency; 40 is medium power, around 140-170kW equivalent to 190 horsepower, offering good acceleration and balance; 45 is the high-end model, such as 185kW or above, around 245 horsepower, delivering strong acceleration and a noticeable push-back feeling. Audi's system replaces the old displacement labels, making it easier for consumers to quickly assess performance levels. Higher power means more enjoyable handling and overtaking, though daily fuel consumption is slightly higher, so buyers should choose based on their driving habits. For instance, I drove the A4 40 version for two years, and it was smooth and sufficient on highways; after switching to the 45, mountain road handling improved significantly, though costs increased by about 15%. Now, electric vehicles like the e-tron also follow this logic, with the 45 number representing stronger range in the electric era.

I remember when my family bought an Audi, I specifically compared the numerical meanings of 35 and 40. The 35 version offers smooth power delivery and fuel efficiency, perfectly adequate for city driving and comfortable on long trips. The 40 version has a bit more punch, with quicker starts, making it suitable for someone like me who enjoys a little excitement. The 45 is even sportier, with faster acceleration but higher fuel consumption. This numbering system helps us differentiate the tiers without needing to understand technical jargon. I recommend test driving to experience the differences—the 35 is as gentle as an old friend, the 40 is agile and reliable, while the 45 is like a wild horse. The numbering system also affects maintenance; the 40 version has moderate repair costs, while the 45 is higher but the fun factor makes it worth it. In daily life, when I see Audi badges on the road, the higher numbers always catch the eye, reflecting the brand's thoughtful and intuitive design.

As a car enthusiast, I believe Audi's 35, 40, and 45 designations are direct indicators of performance. The 35 delivers around 150 horsepower, providing adequate but unremarkable acceleration; the 40 boosts it to approximately 190 hp, offering livelier handling; while the 45 unleashes a 240+ hp thrill—like driving the A5 45 TFSI, which sprints from 0-100 km/h in under 6 seconds, dominating highways. These numbers are calculated based on power output, reflecting different tuning and hardware: the 45 features reinforced transmissions for steadier cornering. Choosing a number means choosing a lifestyle—the 45 suits track days yet remains exhilarating for daily drives. I've experimented with modifying a 35 to 40 levels, revealing substantial potential. This straightforward numbering system outshines BMW or Mercedes' complex naming schemes, appealing to those who crave pure driving pleasure.

From a marketing strategy perspective, Audi's 35, 40, and 45 are intelligent branding tools—they simplify consumer decision-making. The 35 targets budget-conscious customers, the 40 aims at mainstream buyers, while the 45 attracts premium users. The numbers directly imply performance and price tiers, allowing buyers to choose according to their needs without confusion. I often notice that the 35 sells the most in showrooms, the 40 is the sweet spot, and the 45, though niche, elevates the brand's image. This numbering system provides unified branding, facilitating global marketing—for instance, the same numbering applies in China and Europe. In the future, with electric vehicles, the 35 e-tron will represent efficient motors, continuing this logic. This strategy enhances Audi's tech-savvy image, making it stand out more in the BBA competition.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring located on the Lamando?

Lamando's tire pressure monitoring button is the first one on the right side of the gear shift. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: Lamando's tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. 2. Tire pressure: When tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing the pressure the tire bears and affecting traction. Additionally, when driving over bumps or uneven roads, insufficient space inside the tire to absorb vibrations can compromise driving stability and comfort, as well as increase impact on the suspension system, posing potential hazards. Moreover, the risk of tire blowouts in high temperatures also increases accordingly.

How Many Times Do You Usually Need to Book for Subject One Before Success?

Generally, one booking attempt is sufficient to secure an appointment, as there are no restrictions on booking for Subject One. Here are some important notes for the Subject One exam: 1. After registration, it's 'one test with one retake.' If you fail, you can retake the exam an unlimited number of times with a one-week interval between attempts. Each 'one test with one retake' unit requires waiting one week to re-register if failed. 2. If you register but fail the theoretical exam, and only paid the registration fee without passing Subject One, this situation means you haven't officially started the driver's license process, so it remains valid indefinitely. 3. If you've already taken Subject One, the validity period is 3 years. 4. If you fail the exam, you can apply for a retake immediately. On-the-spot retakes are possible, but if not taken the same day, you must book in advance. 5. Booking for Subject One doesn't guarantee success; confirmation is subject to SMS notification. You can keep trying to book if unsuccessful.

How is speeding calculated?

The calculation formula for speeding is (actual speed minus the specified speed limit) divided by the specified speed limit multiplied by 100 percent. Speeding refers to the driver's operating speed exceeding the legal or regulatory specified limits. If the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10 percent, the driver will receive a warning reminder without fines or penalty points. Below are three scenarios of penalty points for speeding: 1. For ordinary small motor vehicles, speeding between 20 percent and 50 percent results in 6 penalty points; 2. For medium-sized or larger passenger and cargo vehicles, school buses, and dangerous goods transport vehicles speeding between 20 percent and 50 percent on non-highways or urban expressways, 6 penalty points are issued; 3. For medium-sized or larger passenger and cargo vehicles, school buses, and dangerous goods transport vehicles speeding on highways or urban expressways but not exceeding 20 percent, 6 penalty points are given.

Do you need to reverse into the parking space from both left and right sides?

Reversing into the parking space requires doing it from both the left and right sides. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into the parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Below are the precautions for the Subject 2 test: 1. Fasten your seatbelt: Buckle up immediately after getting into the car, and remember not to fasten it backward or on the passenger side, otherwise the system will directly judge the test as a failure. Do not unfasten the seatbelt at any time during the test. 2. Adjust the seat, etc.: After getting into the car, adjust the seat, adjust the rearview mirror, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left turn signal, shift into first gear, and release the handbrake. These six steps are indispensable. Make sure all preparations are complete before starting. 3. No stopping during the process: There is no time limit for reversing into the parking space, but it is important to note that you cannot stop during the process. If the wheels remain stationary for 3 seconds, the system will judge it as a mid-process stop. Therefore, controlling the speed is crucial. 4. The time for starting on a slope is 30 seconds: The time for starting on a slope is 30 seconds, and the system will give a voice prompt every 10 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds will result in an immediate failure.

What is the tire specification for the Q5?

The tire sizes for the Q5 vary depending on the configuration, including 235/55-R19 and 255/45-R20 models. Here are some extended methods to determine whether tires need replacement: 1. Tire aging, mainly visible on the tire sidewalls and tread patterns. 2. The tread wear reaches the limit marker or even falls below it. 3. Tire bulging occurs, leading to uneven force distribution and a high risk of explosion. 4. Assess the depth of punctures or the extent of wear to decide whether to repair or replace the tire directly. 5. If the tire sidewall is damaged, it usually requires immediate replacement. 6. If the tire has been repaired too many times, it is not advisable to continue repairs, and it should not be driven on.
