The average fuel consumption of the Luxgen U7 5-speed automatic 2.2T 178HP L4 is 14.09, with a range of 12.12-16.05. The main factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Unnecessary increase in vehicle load. Many new car owners tend to overload their cars with various decorations and exterior accessories. 2. Frequent braking and starting. Apart from the car's design and engine factors, the real waste of fuel is caused by the driver's habits, especially frequent sudden braking and rapid acceleration, which are the biggest contributors to increased fuel consumption. 3. High speed at low gear. The biggest misconception in driving is maintaining high speed at low gears. Tests have shown that driving long distances at high speed in 3rd gear increases fuel consumption by 10% compared to normal driving in 4th gear, and using 2nd gear instead of 3rd gear further increases fuel consumption.

I've been driving the Luxgen U7 for several years, mainly for city commuting, and the actual fuel consumption has always been quite high, averaging around 13 to 15 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, it can drop to about 10 liters, but once stuck in traffic, it soars to 17 liters. The car has a heavy body, and the 2.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers strong power but guzzles fuel like water. Fueling up every week costs me nearly a thousand bucks, which really hurts the wallet. Driving habits also play a key role—gentle acceleration and fewer sudden brakes can help a bit. Regular maintenance checks are recommended, and changing the air filter can slightly improve efficiency. Overall, this car suits those who prefer a stable driving feel, but the high fuel consumption is a major drawback, making long-term ownership costs quite substantial.

How to Warm Up an Automatic Transmission Car in Winter?

Methods for warming up an automatic transmission car in winter: 1. Idling in place: After starting the car, it is necessary to let it idle for a while. This period should last about 30 seconds to 1 minute (with the gear in P), primarily to allow the engine oil to fully lubricate the engine. Since winter temperatures are inherently low, the oil's fluidity is poor, and the viscosity of the transmission fluid in the automatic transmission increases. If you start driving immediately, it can cause significant harm to the engine. 2. Slow driving: After idling for 30 seconds to 1 minute, once the engine vibration stabilizes, you can begin driving. At this point, shift the car into D gear, keeping the RPM below 2000, and drive slowly for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, observe whether the temperature gauge needle approaches 60 degrees or if the blue indicator light on the dashboard turns off. When the temperature needle reaches 60 degrees, it indicates that the warm-up is complete, and you can accelerate normally. During this period, the automatic transmission will not shift gears, allowing various types of lubricants and fluids to be distributed to their respective working positions through the warm-up process. This helps the steering system, braking system, differential system, suspension system, etc., transition from a static state to an operational state, ensuring proper lubrication and preventing abnormal wear due to insufficient lubrication (since idling in place without moving cannot achieve this). 3. After starting the car, wait a while before driving or turning on the air conditioning, and avoid idling in place for too long.

Is ETC still free to apply for now?

As of May 2020, there are no free ETC applications available, as free ETC processing was discontinued at the end of 2019. The details are as follows: 1. Promotional measures: To encourage vehicle owners to actively apply for ETC, a series of measures were introduced in 2019 in collaboration with telecommunications companies. Users could apply for ETC for free, and those using ETC were given a 5% discount on toll fees, with some routes offering a 15% discount for trucks. 2. Limited to the end of 2019: Various partner banks also continuously rolled out promotional measures for applying and using ETC to attract customers. It is reported that the free ETC application policy was only available until the end of 2019. After January 1, 2020, vehicle owners could no longer apply for ETC for free.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make Abnormal Noises When Turning in Place?

It is mainly caused by interference friction between the drive shaft and the dust cover. Below is relevant information about the steering wheel: 1. Introduction: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. This new design of the steering wheel emerged as needed, introducing a gear system between the driver and the wheels that operates flexibly and effectively isolates intense vibrations from the road. 2. Function: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver when turning. The steering drive shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle more rational.

How to Test Car Tire Pressure?

The method for testing car tire pressure is to use a tire pressure gauge or observe the dashboard to determine the tire pressure condition. The following are the effects of excessive tire pressure: 1. Impact on braking performance: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance. 2. Reduced comfort: It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. 3. Decreased tire lifespan: It accelerates the localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing its lifespan. 4. Impact on component lifespan: Increased body vibration indirectly affects the lifespan of other components.

Can a sedan accommodate five people?

If the vehicle's rated passenger capacity is 5 (including the driver) or more, it can accommodate them; otherwise, it cannot. Below is relevant information about the hazards of vehicle overloading: 1. Shortens the vehicle's service life: Vehicles are manufactured based on technical specifications, and load limits are no exception. Overloading alters the original design parameters. For example: rivets may loosen, fastening screws may fall off, weld points may crack or break, and the entire frame may deform. Overloading reduces the vehicle's lifespan and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. 2. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Vehicle tires are designed and produced according to the total weight of the vehicle, with a considerable safety margin. However, when a vehicle is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight and deform. Increased friction also shortens tire life. Tests show that with a 20% overload, tire life decreases by 30%; with a 40% overload, tire life is halved. 3. Reduces braking performance and increases the non-safety zone distance: Many factors affect a vehicle's braking distance, among which changes in vehicle load directly influence the braking distance. When a loaded vehicle brakes, the load shifts forward, increasing the load on the front wheels and decreasing it on the rear wheels.
