When driving my DS6, I noticed that its most commonly used engine is the 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, derived from the THP series of Peugeot Citroën, with power ranging between 167 and 200 horsepower. This engine employs twin-scroll turbo technology, offering quick response, smooth acceleration, and relatively low fuel consumption—around 8.5L/100km in city driving and as low as 6L on highways. It shares a co-developed design with BMW from earlier versions and features an advanced fuel injection system that reduces carbon buildup issues. As a compact SUV owner, I find this engine both sufficient and cost-effective, requiring only oil changes every 10,000 kilometers as per the manual during maintenance. The turbo components are durable, making it suitable for daily commutes and occasional long trips. Overall, the DS6 strikes a balance between power and efficiency with this engine, making it quite competitive in its class. However, after prolonged use, don’t forget to check the cooling system for leaks.

As a DS6 owner, my car is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine that delivers ample power without feeling unstable. A quick press on the accelerator at startup gives a noticeable push-back sensation, and overtaking on highways is effortless. The engine's fuel consumption is quite friendly, averaging around 9L in city traffic and dropping to 6.5L on long trips. After driving it for over three years with regular maintenance, I find oil changes straightforward and reasonably priced, with minimal carbon buildup issues. Compared to my neighbor's Q3, this engine offers similar performance specs but lower maintenance costs, making it ideal for budget-conscious family car owners. Maintenance-wise, periodic throttle cleaning suffices, and I've encountered no major faults. Plus, the turbocharging system is designed for stability, preventing overheating even during extended drives, ensuring a comfortable and reliable experience that adds much convenience to daily life.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Hongqi H9?

Hongqi H9 offers 2 models, both with a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The vehicles are equipped with either a 2.0T 204hp L4 engine or a 1.8T 188hp L4 engine, both paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by automakers refers to the volume from the tank bottom to the safety limit, with additional space remaining between the safety limit and the tank opening. This space ensures safe expansion of fuel when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check remaining fuel, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel level, while nearing F means sufficient fuel.

What are the differences between driver's license photos and electronic photos?

Driver's license photos and electronic photos are the same. The relevant introduction of the driver's license is as follows: Introduction 1: A motor vehicle driver's license refers to a legal certificate issued by the administrative department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has mastered traffic regulations and driving skills and passed the examination, permitting them to drive a certain type of motor vehicle. Introduction 2: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle at will may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, people cannot drive on the road without a license, but for those who have acquired safe driving skills, the document that allows them to drive vehicles on the road is the 'driver's license,' which indicates that the driver's license is a 'permit.'

What does GDI mean?

GDI stands for Gasoline Direct Injection technology in automotive engines. The relevant introduction to gasoline direct injection technology is as follows: Introduction 1: Gasoline direct injection technology refers to the placement of the fuel injector between the intake and exhaust valves, where high-pressure fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber for smooth and efficient combustion. GDI technology advocates achieving reduced fuel consumption under high loads, especially low loads, through uniform combustion and stratified combustion, while also improving power output. Introduction 2: Gasoline direct injection technology is widely used within the VAG Group, with the 4.2-liter FSI engine shared by the Audi RS4 and R8 being a powerful representative of this technology.
