I recently researched this issue. Simply put, Beijing Benz refers to vehicles produced by Mercedes-Benz's joint venture in China, jointly manufactured by BAIC and Mercedes-Benz, primarily targeting the Chinese market. Imported Mercedes-Benz are the original German-made products. The differences are quite significant: Beijing Benz models are much more affordable after localized production due to tariff savings—for example, the domestically produced GLC or E-Class are considerably cheaper. In terms of quality, Mercedes-Benz maintains strict standards, though some components may use local suppliers, which has minimal impact, and the driving comfort remains excellent. After-sales service is also more convenient, with dealerships widely available. On the other hand, imported Mercedes-Benz are purebred, offering more prestige but at a much higher price, with elevated maintenance costs, making them suitable for those who seek the brand's authentic experience. If you're on a tight budget or frequently need local parts for repairs, Beijing Benz offers better value. However, both bear the three-pointed star emblem and turn heads on the road. When choosing, consider your personal needs—test driving is the most reliable way to decide.

What is the fuel tank capacity of MG in liters?

MG ZS has a fuel tank capacity of 48L, while the MG 6 has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. Methods to check the capacity: Check the fuel gauge, which is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. The low fuel warning light will illuminate when the fuel level in the tank falls below a certain threshold. Checking remaining fuel: The pointer-type fuel gauge is marked with two letters, E and F. F stands for full, and E stands for empty. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates that the remaining fuel is low and needs to be refueled as soon as possible. The digital fuel gauge shows the remaining fuel by the number of illuminated bars. More illuminated bars indicate sufficient fuel, while only 1-2 bars mean the fuel level is low and requires immediate refueling.

Why Does the Trunk Close and Then Automatically Pop Open Again?

The reasons why the trunk closes and then automatically pops open again are as follows: Issue with the linkage: It may be that the linkage inside the handle is not properly engaged. Problem with the electronic lock: There could be an issue with the trunk's lock mechanism, such as the latch being too dry and lacking lubrication; another possibility is a contact problem with the trunk's electronic lock causing it to close and then pop open again. Modern trunk locks are controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU). The lock is opened via button activation, which is managed by the ECU. Other reasons: Some cars have an automatic trunk pop-up feature, where pressing a button inside the car or on the remote key will cause the trunk to automatically pop open.

Does Having a Car Without Annual Inspection Affect the Annual Inspection of Other Cars?

Having a car without annual inspection does not affect the annual inspection of other cars. Annual Vehicle Inspection: Refers to the annual inspection of vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Purpose of Annual Inspection: The aim is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage enhanced maintenance and upkeep, ensure the vehicle is always in good condition, and guarantee driving safety. Annual Inspection Time: Vehicles can undergo the inspection application within three months before the annual inspection date. It is best to do it two months or more in advance, rather than waiting until just a few days before the inspection deadline. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, the workload at inspection stations is relatively lighter, making it a good opportunity to avoid queues. The number of vehicles increases from mid-month, and the end of the month is the peak period.

What is the reason for the rear seat not locking back after being folded down?

Reasons why the rear seat cannot be locked back after being folded down are as follows: Improper operation: To fold down the rear seat, there is a lever on the seat. If the lever is pulled too hard or not handled carefully, the seat belt may get caught behind. You need to fold down the rear seat again and then flatten the trunk mat. Seat belt issue: Check if there is any foreign object stuck between the seat belt and the trim panel, or gently pull the seat belt and slowly release it to see if it can retract. If it still doesn't work, you may need to remove the seat belt and gently pull it to see if it can retract. Latch damage: If none of the above issues are present, the problem may be due to a damaged latch preventing the seat from locking back. Replacing the latch with a new one should resolve the issue.

What are the common issues when the rearview mirror heating fails?

Generally, the failure of rearview mirror heating is caused by either a damaged mirror or a blown fuse. The function of rearview mirror heating: The rearview mirror heating function allows the car to remove rainwater or fog from the mirror surface by heating during harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, ensuring clear visibility on the mirror surface. The principle of rearview mirror heating: It involves installing an electric heating pad or heating film inside the mirrors on both sides. There is usually a rearview mirror heating button on the car's center console. Once the button is pressed, the mirrors heat up quickly, and the effect can be seen soon. The temperature typically ranges between 30 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Does a Roaring Engine During Startup Damage the Car?

Car roaring during startup damages the car. Reasons for car roaring: During the first few seconds after startup, the engine's instantaneous speed exceeds 1000 RPM, and the upper part of the cylinders is in a state of direct metal-to-metal friction without lubrication, which can significantly impact the car. Consequences of roaring during startup: Operating the engine without sufficient lubrication increases component wear. Especially when the car has been parked overnight, and the engine is started cold in the morning—idle speed hasn't yet dropped to normal levels. In this cold state, the engine oil is still in the oil pan and takes several minutes to circulate and properly lubricate the engine.
