There is no difference. In China, there is no FAW Toyota headquarters. Changchun FAW Toyota, Sichuan FAW Toyota, and Tianjin FAW Toyota are not subordinate to each other. They are all joint ventures between Japan's Toyota and FAW Group, operating independently and accountable to their respective shareholders, namely FAW Group and Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan. Below is some relevant information about the RAV4: Exterior: Although the RAV4 has off-road capabilities, it is designed with practicality in mind, so its body shape does not appear as rugged as traditional off-road vehicles. The RAV4's exterior combines the streamlined design of a van with the versatile and sporty look of an SUV, making it a model of form following function. Doors: As a compact SUV, the front doors are not very large, but the opening angle is decent, making it convenient for passengers to get in and out. The rear doors are also relatively small, with an opening angle of about 60 degrees, offering average convenience for entry and exit. The trunk door features a less common side-opening design, with three-angle door stoppers to secure the door. In terms of practicality, it has its own strengths compared to the more common top-opening designs.

Sichuan FAW Toyota mainly produces the RAV4 in Chengdu, which is a large production base specializing in SUV models like the RAV4, emphasizing durability and handling, suitable for both urban and off-road driving. Tianjin FAW Toyota has factories in Tianjin, primarily manufacturing sedans such as the Corolla or Avalon, with designs focused on comfort and fuel efficiency, offering strong economic value. Both bases adhere to Toyota's global standards, so the quality is comparable, but the RAV4, as an SUV, offers more space, while Tianjin's models are better suited for daily commuting. Personally, I prefer the RAV4 because I often go on outdoor trips, and its four-wheel-drive system is excellent, plus maintenance is convenient. If considering location impact, there might be slight cost differences, but overall, Toyota coordinates well, so choosing the right model is the most important factor when selecting a car.

How Durable is the BYD 6-Speed Wet Dual Clutch Transmission?

BYD's 6-speed wet dual clutch transmission is reliable and durable. Here is an extended introduction about BYD's dual clutch transmissions: 1. Dry dual clutch: The 6-speed dry dual clutch can withstand a maximum torque of 250 Nm. When paired with a 1.5T engine, this dry dual clutch was found to be relatively unstable. Subsequently, BYD matched this 6DT25 with a naturally aspirated 1.5L engine that has much lower torque, and eventually discontinued the 6DT25 dry dual clutch. Although this dry clutch was not entirely successful, the experience gained was invaluable, providing crucial foundational data for BYD to develop better products in the future. 2. Wet dual clutch: The 6-speed wet dual clutch can handle a maximum torque of 350 Nm and is paired with a 2.0T engine, making it more stable. BYD has been cautious with power matching, opting to use this 6DT35 wet dual clutch with 1.5T engines, such as in the Song series and 1.5T Qin series. With the 1.5T engine's maximum torque of 240 Nm and the 6DT35's capacity of 350 Nm, there is a torque margin of over 100 Nm. Additionally, since both the ECU and TCU are produced in-house by BYD, the matching is excellent. The transmission performs well in various scenarios: strong starting creep, smooth shifting, delayed upshifting on slopes, and automatic gear changes based on speed when coasting or going downhill without throttle input. BYD has continuously upgraded and optimized this transmission, such as switching to Schaeffler-made clutch plates instead of in-house production.

Where is the trunk release for the Qoros 3?

Qoros 3 trunk release switch is located on the ceiling inside the vehicle, the button in the middle of the reading lights is the trunk switch. Common methods to open the trunk include the following: 1. Lever type. Usually located next to the fuel filler lever, the trunk is opened by manually pulling the lever. 2. Button type. The trunk can be opened by lightly pressing the trunk button on the center console inside the vehicle. 3. Central locking control. When the central locking is engaged, the trunk is also locked; when the central locking is disengaged, the trunk is also unlocked. 4. Key fob operation. Pressing the trunk button on the smart key can also open the trunk. 5. Sensor switch, typically a kick-sensor type switch. Simply sweep your foot gently under the rear bumper, and the trunk lid will open automatically.

After the system self-check, and the dash cam self-check is normal, it will start recording by default and can be used. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle driving. The functions of a dash cam are as follows: 1. Playback the recorded footage, which helps to restore the accident scene in the event of a traffic accident and provides clues for the police to solve the case. 2. For some fraudulent claims, it can be used as evidence for defense. 3. It can be used as a parking monitor to avoid damage to your car.

What Causes a Car Tire to Burst on the Highway?

Here are the specific reasons for tire bursts on highways: 1. Low tire pressure: When tire pressure is too low, the wheel's sinking amount increases, radial deformation increases, friction between the tire surface and the ground rises, rolling resistance increases, and the internal stress of the tire body also rises. This causes the tire body temperature to rise sharply, the tire surface rubber to soften, and the aging speed to accelerate, leading to local delamination of the tire body and increased wear on the tire surface. Under these conditions, if the car continues to drive at high speeds on the highway, the above reactions of the tire will accelerate, significantly increasing the likelihood of a tire burst. 2. Over-inflation of the tire: When tire pressure is too high, the tension on the tire body cords increases, accelerating the fatigue process of the cords. Especially when driving with over-inflation, overload, and overspeed, the internal stress on the cords increases further, the tire temperature rises rapidly, rubber aging speeds up, and fatigue strength decreases. This results in severe wear on the central part of the tire surface, sawtooth-like wear on the side tread patterns, and cord layer breakage, leading to a tire burst. 3. Incorrect tire installation: Wheel imbalance. Due to uneven mass distribution across different parts of the wheel, when the wheel rotates, a huge impact force is generated in the wheel's rotation plane under centrifugal force, causing the wheel to bounce and sway. This accelerates tire wear and subjects the cord layers to periodic impact loads, reducing the cord's fatigue resistance. Particularly at speeds above 100 km/h, the wear caused by wheel imbalance is extremely severe, ultimately leading to a tire burst.
