Toyota Avalon, also known as the Asia Dragon, is a full-size sedan product launched by Toyota since 1995. It is a mid-to-large luxury car introduced by Toyota in the US market. In March 2019, it was officially introduced to China by FAW Toyota. The Asia Dragon once attracted attention due to rumors that it would replace the Crown, but Toyota later announced that the Crown would continue to be produced and sold, while the Asia Dragon was introduced as a brand-new model for the Chinese market. The Avalon is equipped with two engine displacements. The V6 version offers powerful performance and quick acceleration, while those prioritizing fuel economy can opt for the smaller but more efficient hybrid system. In terms of handling, the Avalon performs very flexibly, although it is not positioned as a sports sedan. For high-tech features, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist are standard across the lineup. In terms of exterior design, the Avalon incorporates a moderate amount of uniqueness. Its standard 17-inch wheels, chrome details, and integrated exhaust pipes add an elegant touch. Under the hood, the Avalon's 3.5L V6 engine is common in the large car segment, paired with a 6-speed transmission to power the front wheels. This V6 engine provides ample power. A hybrid system is also available. Toyota engineers utilized the company's well-known hybrid technology, combining a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a pair of electric motors and a CVT transmission to achieve excellent fuel efficiency. Model History: First-Generation Asia Dragon: The history of the Asia Dragon begins with the withdrawal of the Crown and Cressida from the North American market. Toyota urgently needed a mid-to-large sedan to continue competing in the North American market, leading to the birth of the first-generation Asia Dragon in 1994. Second-Generation Asia Dragon: Following the success of the first-generation Avalon, Toyota launched the second-generation Asia Dragon in 2005. It was built on the Camry platform but featured a longer wheelbase and larger body dimensions than the Camry. Third-Generation Asia Dragon: When 2005-2011 arrived, the third-generation Asia Dragon made its debut, boasting a wheelbase of 2820mm. Fourth-Generation Asia Dragon: In 2012, the Asia Dragon welcomed its fourth-generation model, still built on Toyota's K platform. Its overall design closely resembled the seventh-generation Camry and began incorporating Toyota's proud hybrid system. Fifth-Generation Asia Dragon: The fifth-generation Asia Dragon was officially unveiled at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show and went on sale in the US in the third quarter of the same year.

Will a Car Get Damaged from Daily Sun Exposure?

Daily prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause problems for a car, as high temperatures directly accelerate the aging of rubber components, paint fading, and the deterioration or damage of electronic components inside the vehicle. Accelerated Aging of Rubber Components: Under direct sunlight, the rubber parts of a vehicle can develop cracks and deteriorate due to UV radiation, leading to reduced braking efficiency, poor traction, increased fuel consumption, and decreased power. Tires are particularly affected, with their lifespan significantly shortened. Paint Fading: The car's paint, being the largest surface area exposed to sunlight, undergoes oxidation reactions between metal ions in the paint and oxygen ions in the air when exposed to prolonged sun exposure. For example, white cars may turn pale yellow over time, while darker-colored cars gradually lose their luster and vibrancy. In severe cases, the paint may even peel off. Aging or Damage to Electronic Components: Under intense sun exposure, the interior temperature of a car can soar above 60 degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to such high temperatures accelerates the aging and failure rate of electronic components inside the vehicle. For instance, most sensors experience a significantly reduced lifespan in high-temperature environments. Additionally, leaving hazardous items like sunglasses or lighters inside the car can pose serious safety risks.

How to Remove the Car Glove Box?

The method for removing the car glove box: 1. Open the car glove box, remove the piston buffer latch on the right side, and rotate the right fixing button counterclockwise; 2. There are knobs on the upper and lower sides inside the glove box. Remove the knobs on both sides, and the glove box can be opened; 3. After opening the glove box, you can see the fixing latches between the glove box and the base. Use a latch remover to remove the fixing latch on the right side of the glove box. Similarly, after removing the left latch, the glove box can be taken off. There are two types of car glove box bodies: fixed type and dump type. The fixed type refers to the internal part of the frame serving as the inner compartment of the glove box, with the storage space located within the instrument panel body. The dump type means the inner compartment is integrated with the door inner panel, and the storage space is on the door. When the door is opened, the inner compartment will flip out together. The dump type makes it more convenient for the owner to take items, but its structure reduces the internal space of the glove box, making it unsuitable for storing larger items. It also makes it difficult to arrange components such as glove box lights. In contrast, the fixed type provides a larger space.

What is Comprehensive Car Insurance?

Comprehensive car insurance includes compulsory traffic insurance and several basic coverages such as vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, passenger liability insurance, glass breakage insurance, and full vehicle theft insurance. It also includes additional coverages like spontaneous combustion insurance, water damage insurance, and scratch insurance, along with the special no-deductible liability insurance. Below is a detailed introduction to comprehensive car insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: A mandatory insurance required by the state, covering third-party personal injuries and property damage. The premium for the first year is fixed—950 RMB for private cars with fewer than 6 seats and 1,100 RMB for those with 6 seats or more. The premium for the second year will be adjusted based on whether the owner was involved in any at-fault accidents during the first year. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Covers the loss of your own vehicle, with the coverage amount typically matching the vehicle's value. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: In the event of an insured accident, the insurance company compensates for third-party personal injuries and property damage. It is recommended to purchase coverage of 1 million RMB. 3. Theft Insurance: Covers losses caused by the theft, robbery, or hijacking of the entire vehicle. 4. Passenger Liability Insurance: Compensates for injuries or deaths of passengers inside the insured vehicle in case of an accident. 5. Spontaneous Combustion Insurance: Covers losses caused by fires resulting from vehicle circuit, wiring, fuel line issues, or friction during operation. 6. Water Damage Insurance: Covers engine damage caused by water ingress while driving.
