Bare car is a specialized term in the automobile manufacturing and sales industry, usually referring to a commodity vehicle that has not been equipped with any non-standard accessories after leaving the factory. Once the dealer adds decorative parts such as insurance bumpers, side skirts, and spoilers to the original factory configuration before sale, it is no longer called a bare car. After purchasing a car, you also need to pay: purchase tax, vehicle inspection fee, license plate fee, vehicle and vessel usage tax, and compulsory traffic accident liability insurance. Additionally, some conventional insurances are basically mandatory: third-party liability insurance, vehicle loss insurance, vehicle theft insurance, and no-deductible special insurance.

Is the Wildlander's engine domestically produced or imported?

The Wildlander's engine is domestically produced. This engine adopts a modular design with a bore-stroke ratio of 1:1.2, a compression ratio of 13:1, and a 41-degree intake and exhaust valve angle design, achieving higher thermal efficiency and thereby reducing fuel consumption. It features D-4S dual injection technology for more efficient combustion, and with Toyota's optimization in various details, the engine's thermal efficiency is increased to 40%. Taking the Wildlander 2020 2.0L CVT Front-Wheel Drive Leading Edition as an example: it is a compact SUV launched by GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4665mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1680mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm.

Can Second Gear Be Used Below 10 km/h?

Second gear should not be used below 10 km/h. The speed range for second gear is between 10 to 30 km/h. When the vehicle speed drops below 10 km/h, it is prone to stalling. For example, if you stay in second gear without shifting up and press the accelerator while overtaking, the engine RPM may reach 3,000 to 4,000, producing loud noise, yet the speed fails to increase, leading to both overtaking failure and potential stalling. For novice drivers, selecting the appropriate gear based on current speed and RPM is essential: 1. First gear: Engine RPM around 1,000 to 1,500, speed at 10 km/h—recommended to shift to second gear; 2. Second gear: Engine RPM around 1,500 to 2,000, speed at 30 km/h—recommended to shift to third gear; 3. Third gear: Engine RPM around 1,500 to 2,000, speed at 40 km/h—recommended to shift to fourth gear; 4. Fourth gear: Engine RPM around 1,500 to 2,000, speed at 50 to 70 km/h—recommended to shift to fifth gear; 5. Fifth gear: Engine RPM around 1,500 to 3,000, speed at 80 to 120 km/h.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BMW 3 Series?

The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BMW 3 Series is approximately 6.2L. Factors affecting fuel consumption include: 1. Environmental conditions: Low temperatures cause the vehicle to take longer to warm up the engine, leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Road conditions: Factors such as road gradient, surface dryness or wetness, curves, and mountainous roads; 3. Driving conditions: Frequent city driving results in higher fuel consumption, while normal highway driving leads to lower fuel consumption. Taking the BMW 3 Series 2021 facelift 320i Sport Package as an example: it is equipped with a 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine, with a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Its dimensions are 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2851mm.

What does it mean when the driver's license number and ID card number do not match?

When the driver's license number and ID card number do not match, it means the identity information on the driver's license is different from that on the ID card. The reasons may include: 1. Changes in the driver's identity information; 2. Errors made when applying for the driver's license. Solution: If both the ID card and driver's license are issued through official channels, and the numbers do not match, you only need to go to the vehicle management office to complete the change registration procedure, and the original driver's license will remain valid. To complete the change registration procedure, you should fill out the motor vehicle driver's license application form and submit the following documents and certificates: 1. The driver's identity proof (for temporary residents, the identity proof is the temporary residence permit); 2. The driver's license; 3. Physical condition certificate; 4. Three one-inch white background color photos.

Can the EV mode be kept on all the time?

EV mode can be kept on all the time. EV mode refers to pure electric driving. New energy vehicles have three major advantages: environmental protection, energy saving, and simplicity, which are particularly evident in pure electric vehicles. They use electric motors to replace internal combustion engines, driven by motors without the need for automatic transmissions. Traditional internal combustion engines can only efficiently generate torque within a narrow range of speeds, which is why conventional internal combustion engine vehicles require large and complex transmission mechanisms. Electric motors can efficiently generate torque over a wide range of speeds, eliminating the need for gear shifting devices during the operation of pure electric vehicles, making them easy to operate and with low noise.
