Changan Oushang X7 is equipped with the new Blue Whale 1.5TGDI engine across the entire lineup. More details about the Changan Oushang X7 are as follows: 1. The Changan Oushang X7 engine is a top-tier 'China Core' top ten engine in its class, delivering a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 265N•m. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, achieving a fuel consumption of 7.4L/100km under comprehensive driving conditions. 2. The Oushang X7 is a compact SUV developed by Changan Oushang Auto, positioned as a premium urban SUV. The new vehicle is based on Changan's global R&D center's new modular MPA-2 platform, which supports the development of products with three energy forms: EV, hybrid, and traditional fuel vehicles. 3. The Oushang X7 features a natural aesthetic design with aerospace-grade painting technology. The front face sports a large hexagonal grille with wave-pattern horizontal bars extending downward on both sides. The Changan Oushang Yunying logo is mounted above the grille, giving the overall design high recognition. Exterior configurations include full-LED natural light compound headlights, dual-color straight-cut alloy wheels with a whirlwind design, and a continuous waistline design combination. 4. The Changan Oushang X7 comes standard with a dual-chassis soft connection design, another major highlight of the new vehicle. The entire lineup adopts an independent suspension system with MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear. The rear independent suspension uses a more flexible connection, effectively absorbing and reducing vibrations and noise transmitted from the road to the cabin, minimizing road bumps and cabin vibration noise, thereby enhancing driving comfort and smoothness.

What are the reasons why the key of a manual transmission car cannot be pulled out?

The reasons why the key of a manual transmission car cannot be pulled out are: 1. The ignition switch is faulty or the steering wheel is stuck to the left or right, blocking the locking tongue of the ignition switch; 2. The steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when parking, causing abnormal locking of the steering wheel. The solutions are: 1. Check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot and remove them; 2. Start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned to its position, and then the key can be pulled out. A manual transmission (MT) requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever to change the gear meshing device inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. Its working principle: By using the shift fork to change the transmission ratio (gear ratio) of the meshing gears, the driving torque is adjusted to suit different operating conditions.

Can I Claim Insurance for a Cracked Windshield?

You can claim insurance for a cracked windshield, but only if you have purchased the separate glass breakage insurance. The insurance company will then compensate according to the terms of the contract. Additionally, if the vehicle owner has purchased comprehensive car insurance but not the glass insurance, and the windshield is damaged due to a traffic accident with other parts of the vehicle also affected, the insurance company is required to cover the compensation. The separate glass breakage insurance is an additional coverage under car insurance, which covers damages only to the windshield and window glass (excluding headlights and mirror glass). For vehicles insured with this coverage, if the glass is broken independently, the insurer will calculate the compensation based on the actual loss.

What to Do When the Car Battery Burns Out?

Solutions for a burnt car battery: 1. Remove the battery, charge it once with a charger, clean the rust at the connection points, and reinstall the battery; 2. Use a multimeter to measure the contact resistance of the battery terminals. If it exceeds 100 milliohms, the contact resistance is too high—either replace or clean the terminals. If not, the battery must be replaced. Reasons for a burnt car battery include: 1. Short circuit: The car has many complex electronic components and circuits. A short circuit can damage these components and also cause the battery to burn out; 2. Overcharging: Most battery damage is caused by prolonged overcharging; 3. Electrolyte loss: The battery contains electrolyte. Leakage indicates the need for immediate replacement to prevent damage to other circuits; 4. Complete discharge: Repeated and prolonged complete discharges accelerate battery aging and shorten its lifespan.
