Torsen is a center differential, while Audi quattro is the general term for the entire four-wheel drive system. 1. Toyota Torsen: (1) Advantages: A: Electronically controlled transfer case, making the differential lock more intelligent. B: High-strength steel and laser welding effectively compensate for the rigidity issues of unibody construction. (2) Disadvantages: A: The electronic limited-slip differential alone cannot deliver 100% of the power to a single wheel. B: Torsen is full-time, which has some impact on fuel consumption. 2. Audi quattro: (1) Advantages: A: Strong off-road capability. B: Excellent handling performance. C: Lower fuel consumption compared to older models. (2) Disadvantages: A: Reduced off-road performance. B: Multi-plate clutch is prone to overheating.

What is the fuel consumption of the Haval F7x 2.0?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Haval F7x 2.0 is 7.1-7.8L/100km. There are currently three models of the Haval F7x 2.0 on sale: the two-wheel-drive Extreme Intelligence Trend Edition, the two-wheel-drive Extreme Intelligence Technology Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.1L/100km. The four-wheel-drive Extreme Intelligence Performance Edition has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-9.0L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, mountain roads, etc., where driving resistance is high, can increase fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during a cold start, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. At the same time, low temperatures cause the engine computer to control the engine to run at higher speeds to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What does the e-gear mean?

e-gear means the energy-saving gear. Like the d-gear, it is used for moving forward, but it can save 10% to 30% of electricity. Turning the gear knob to the e-gear starts the energy recovery mode. This mode converts the kinetic energy generated by the car itself into electrical energy. Generally, vehicle transmissions have P, R, N, D, 3, 2, and 1 gears: P-gear is the parking gear, and the selector lever must be moved to the P position when the car is parked; R-gear is the reverse gear; N-gear is the neutral gear, which can be used when starting or towing; D-gear is the forward gear, and when driving normally, the selector lever is placed in the D position, allowing the car to automatically shift between gears 1 to 3 or 4 and 5.

What are the dangers of excessive tire pressure?

The dangers of excessive tire pressure: 1. The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; 2. It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; 5. Causes excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; 6. Reduces the tire's resistance to punctures, making it easier for sharp objects like nails or glass on the road to penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts.

How Many Times Can a Temporary License Plate for a New Car Be Applied For?

New car temporary license plates can be applied for up to 3 times, and the application must be submitted to the vehicle management office. However, the maximum number of applications is 3, which amounts to 21 days. Depending on local regulations, the duration of temporary license plate use may be extended to 30 days in some areas. The temporary license plate for a new car must not be used for more than 15 days. Within these 15 days, the car owner must promptly apply for a formal license plate from the vehicle management department. If the formal license plate is not obtained after the expiration date, penalties such as vehicle impoundment and point deductions may be imposed. The paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use is also known as a temporary driving license plate. It refers to the temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the public security vehicle management department for newly purchased vehicles before they are officially registered.

Where is the engine throttle located?

Engine throttle is located behind the engine intake port, at the position of the engine air filter. Some engines have different internal structures, so the throttle position may vary. The function of the throttle is to control the air entering and exiting the engine. After air enters the engine, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, providing power for the engine. The throttle is a crucial component in modern fuel-injected engine systems. Its upper part connects to the air cleaner, while the lower part connects to the engine block, serving as the "throat" of the automobile engine that links the air filter and cylinder block. The automotive throttle is one of the most important parts among numerous vehicle components, having a critical impact on the vehicle's performance.

Is flooring the accelerator harmful to the car?

Flooring the accelerator is harmful to the car. Flooring the accelerator means pressing the throttle all the way down, essentially driving with the pedal to the floor. Although flooring the accelerator won't directly damage the engine or cause any immediate malfunctions, it does increase additional wear and tear on the engine, adding unnecessary strain. Driving under such conditions causes the engine RPM to surge and the vehicle speed to suddenly increase, which is very damaging to the car. Flooring the accelerator can also lead to a phenomenon where the car drifts to one side even when the steering wheel is not moved. This drifting occurs due to the strong instantaneous power output from flooring the accelerator, causing "torque steer," which is a normal phenomenon.
