SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle, which is a type of vehicle that combines the space functionality of a station wagon with the off-road capability of a pickup truck. Examples of SUV models include the Wildlander, Highlander, Izoa, RAV4, and Prado. Taking the 2020 Highlander as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4890mm, width 1925mm, height 1715mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm and a curb weight of 2080kg. The 2020 Highlander features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220PS and a maximum power output of 162kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle, simply put, it's the kind of car that can handle both city roads and off-road conditions. With its high body and excellent visibility, it feels particularly comfortable for young people like me to drive, especially during traffic jams where you can see far ahead and change lanes with ease. The space design is especially thoughtful, with spacious rear seats and a large trunk that can accommodate luggage for family trips, pets, or sports equipment, making it much more practical than sedans. Some SUVs even come with four-wheel drive, effortlessly handling rainy days or muddy roads while also offering higher safety ratings. Although the fuel consumption might be a bit higher than that of compact cars, their comprehensive functionality makes them a popular choice for modern families. On weekends, I often drive my friend's SUV for camping, unfazed by mountain roads or ditches.

Will the first drunk driving offense be recorded in the personal file?

Yes, the first drunk driving offense will be recorded in the personal file. If it is a minor case of drunk driving, the records may not be permanently stored, but the traffic violation will be recorded for life in the traffic police information system. If the driver commits drunk driving again, they will face detention for up to 10 days, a fine, revocation of their motor vehicle driving license, and a ban from reapplying for a driving license for 2 years. If the driver is found guilty of drunk driving (with a blood alcohol content exceeding the legal limit), they will be charged with dangerous driving, a criminal offense. In addition to the revocation of their driving license, according to Article 133 of the Criminal Law, they will also face criminal detention and a fine. The record of drunk driving in their personal file will be permanently stored and cannot be erased.

Must the Connecting Rod Be Replaced After Water Submersion?

In such cases, as long as there was no secondary startup, it is generally not necessary to replace the connecting rod. Simply removing the spark plugs and draining the water from inside the engine is sufficient. Below are some potential hazards associated with water-submerged vehicles: 1. Damage to computer integrated circuits: These circuits can become oxidized due to immersion, often requiring inspection and replacement; otherwise, the vehicle may not operate properly. Since many electronic components cannot be opened at once, they may appear fine during repairs but could develop faults during later use. These issues mean that some 'water-submerged vehicles' may experience malfunctions even after repairs. 2. Engine damage: The electronic control system inside the vehicle can be harmed. The engine is particularly at risk—never attempt to start or turn the engine after water submersion, as this can cause severe deformation of the connecting rod. Additionally, interior components like carpets and seats may deform, become rough, or develop odors and bacterial growth due to prolonged soaking.

Are Electric Vehicles Afraid of Being Flooded?

Electric vehicles are generally afraid of being flooded because they consist of three major components: the motor, controller, and battery. Even with waterproof designs, they cannot withstand prolonged flooding. Below is relevant information about why electric vehicles are afraid of being flooded: 1. Introduction to Electric Vehicles: Electric vehicles (BEVs) refer to vehicles powered by onboard power sources, driven by motors to move the wheels, and meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. 2. Protection Level: Compared to traditional vehicles, electric vehicles do not have internal combustion engines, so there is no need to worry about air intake and exhaust issues. As a result, their water-wading capability is far superior to that of fuel-powered vehicles, generally allowing normal operation in water depths of up to 40 cm. The engine compartment of an electric vehicle is neatly arranged, with core components such as the electronic control unit and motor having sufficient protective measures. The motor is fully enclosed and does not need to connect with the outside. Moreover, to ensure safety, the power assembly and cable input connectors of electric vehicles usually meet IPX4 or IPX5 protection levels.

What is the difference between a reflector and a rearview mirror?

There is no difference; they are just called differently. The rearview mirror refers to the car's left rearview mirror, right rearview mirror, and interior rearview mirror, while the reflector is the common name for these three mirrors. Below is relevant information: 1. Rearview mirrors are categorized by installation position: external rearview mirrors, lower rearview mirrors, and interior rearview mirrors. By purpose: external rearview mirrors reflect the rear side of the car, lower rearview mirrors reflect the front lower part of the car, and interior rearview mirrors reflect the rear of the car and the interior situation. Different purposes result in different mirror structures. 2. Rearview mirror surfaces mainly come in two types: flat mirrors: described technically as having a 'surface curvature radius R of infinity,' similar to typical household mirrors, they provide an image the same size as seen by the eye. This type of flat mirror is commonly used as an interior rearview mirror. Convex mirrors: the mirror surface is spherical, with varying curvature radii. The image is smaller than seen by the eye, but the field of view is larger, functioning like a camera's 'wide-angle lens.' This type of convex mirror is commonly used as an external rearview mirror and a lower rearview mirror.

What time is the highway closed at night?

Highway night closure times: 1. Small private cars and trucks are allowed to pass 24 hours a day; 2. Large commercial passenger vehicles are prohibited from entering the highway from 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM (for passenger safety). Some specific provinces may regulate that hazardous chemical transport vehicles are not allowed on the highway during certain time periods. Not all vehicles are permitted on highways. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full-trailer trucks, and other motor vehicles with a design speed of less than 70 km/h are not allowed to enter highways. For vehicles prohibited from entering the highway, the violator will be fined and receive 3 penalty points per violation.

What Does Standard Configuration Mean?

Standard configuration refers to the standard equipment that car manufacturers install in vehicles upon leaving the factory, based on national safety standards or the company's own requirements. Examples include airbags and anti-lock braking systems (ABS), which are mandatory national standard configurations. To differentiate between different grades of the same car model, manufacturers often categorize vehicles based on their configurations, generally dividing them into: Trend Edition, Comfort Edition, and Flagship Edition. Different manufacturers may use varying names for these grades, but the concept remains the same. When purchasing a car, the term "standard configuration" mentioned by the manufacturer refers to the basic or entry-level standard, which is typically the Trend Edition.
