Hatchback sedan refers to a car that typically has a vertical tailgate or an inclined rear window door at the rear. Below are some relevant national policies regarding automobiles: Regarding vehicle scrapping: Non-operational private cars have no usage lifespan limit, but after driving 600,000 kilometers, the state guides scrapping. Vehicles that fail the annual inspection will also be mandatorily scrapped by the state. Regarding annual inspection: As of July 20, 2019, a 2006 Passat, because its age exceeds 6 years but is less than 15 years, requires an annual inspection once a year. When the vehicle age exceeds 15 years, the annual inspection needs to be conducted twice a year.

The hatchback sedan I drove before was the type where the entire rear tailgate could be lifted up, like my Honda Fit. When I opened the trunk, the entire opening was super large, making it easy to fit a pet cage or a large suitcase—much more practical than a regular sedan. Every time I went grocery shopping, I could fold down the rear seats and easily load several bags of items. It was also very agile on city roads because of its compact size, making parking in tight spots effortless. The hatchback design saves space and has low fuel consumption, making it especially suitable for someone like me who loves taking short trips with family—both economical and efficient.

I chose a hatchback because it's simply magical—the rear door is connected to the windshield and lifts straight up, unlike sedans with their cramped, separate trunks. Back when I just graduated and was renting, I relied on it to move my luggage, even cramming in large furniture. For daily use, it's incredibly convenient, with high space efficiency, great value for money, and it saves both hassle and cash.

My understanding of hatchback cars is quite simple: they are the type of vehicles where the entire rear door lifts upwards, making them practical and space-saving. When I go shopping for bulky items, I can just push them straight into the trunk—super convenient, especially for a stay-at-home mom like me who needs to fit a stroller without any hassle. Spacious and easy to park.

What is the Discovery 5?

Discovery 5 is the fifth generation of Land Rover's Discovery series. Model Introduction: Compared to the fourth-generation Discovery, the most significant difference is the transition from a body-on-frame structure to a unibody construction typical of urban SUVs. The model available at our dealership is the entry-level Discovery 5 with a 3.0T engine, featuring an overall design that remains largely unchanged from the 2018 version. In contrast to the boxy shape of the Discovery 4, the Discovery 5 is noticeably more stylish and dynamic, making it the most practical model in the Land Rover lineup. Unlike the Range Rover, which strictly offers only two rows of seats, the Discovery 5 provides added convenience for families needing more seating. Advantages: Land Rover aims to position the Discovery as a purebred off-road vehicle. Even after its redesign, the Discovery 5 retains formidable off-road capabilities, an area where Land Rover has always excelled with its urban SUVs that also perform well off-road. The Discovery 5 is equipped with a 3.0T 340-horsepower V6 engine, delivering a maximum power of 250 kW and a peak torque of 450 N-m.

What Causes Engine Start-Stop Shaking?

Automatic start-stop shaking during activation is caused by the momentary vibration when the engine starts, which is a normal occurrence. Engine start-stop light keeps flashing: This may be due to a faulty clutch switch or damaged battery negative sensor. It is recommended to have it inspected and repaired at a 4S shop as soon as possible. The engine start-stop technology is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. Does engine start-stop harm the vehicle? Generally, it does not harm the vehicle. The automatic start-stop function allows the engine to shut off automatically during temporary stops and restart automatically when starting, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Over 80% of engine wear occurs during cold starts and operation, while less than 20% of wear occurs during normal driving.

Is it necessary to apply silicone grease to spark plugs?

Spark plugs can be optionally coated with silicone grease, which is applied to the threaded portion of the spark plug. The purpose of applying insulating silicone grease is to provide insulation and prevent the rubber part of the high-voltage coil from conducting electricity. Spark plugs are mainly composed of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, pole spark plugs, and surface gap spark plugs. Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. Early spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but over the past decade or so, engines in most passenger cars have been modified to connect the ignition coil directly to the spark plug. Damaged spark plugs may exhibit the following symptoms: difficulty starting, reduced power, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption.
