The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Volvo XC90 is 8.5-9.0L/100km. There are currently 5 models of the Volvo XC90 available for sale. The Intelligent Luxury Edition 5-seater and Intelligent Luxury Edition 7-seater have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.5L/100km. The Smart Elite Luxury Edition 7-seater and Smart Elite Sport Edition 7-seater have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.8L/100km. The Smart Premium Luxury Edition 7-seater has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 9.0L/100km. The above figures are 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 8.6-14.5L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly stomping on the accelerator, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration and early braking: When driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent the vehicle from shaking during operation, thereby making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per mileage recommendations. Close windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the more resistance the vehicle encounters, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.

I've been driving a Volvo XC90 gasoline version for over two years now, with an average fuel consumption of around 13 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it can rise to over 15 liters, while on smooth highways, it drops to a fuel-efficient 10-11 liters. Since I live in the city and drive short distances with many traffic lights daily to take my kids to school, higher fuel consumption is normal. In terms of driving habits, I've learned to gently press the accelerator to maintain a steady speed, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, which helps save some fuel costs. When fuel prices rise, I spend about 600-700 RMB per month on gas, which is a bit painful. Nowadays, hybrid versions are popular, and I've heard that after charging, they can run purely on electricity for 40 kilometers, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 1-2 liters. If I had convenient access to charging, I'd definitely switch to that. I recommend that beginners test drive different engine versions before buying a car, choose a suitable model based on their usual road conditions, and regularly check tire pressure and maintenance to optimize fuel efficiency. Overall, the XC90 is heavy but offers strong comfort, and its fuel consumption is quite reasonable.

What is the ET value of a wheel hub?

The ET value of a wheel hub refers to the Off-set value, which means the offset value. Here is more information about the ET value: 1. The offset value indicates the degree of deviation between the mounting surface of the wheel hub and the centerline of the rim, which can be positive, zero, or negative. The impact of changing the Off-set value: If a rim with a smaller positive Off-set value is used, the wheel track will be widened, thereby reducing the transfer of the vehicle's center of gravity during cornering and improving the cornering speed limit of the vehicle. 2. The larger the ET value, the more the rim will retract into the wheel arch; conversely, the smaller the ET value, the more the rim will extend beyond the wheel arch. The ET value can be positive or negative. Generally, the ET value of rims for passenger cars is usually positive, and only a few models, especially four-wheel-drive vehicles, will adopt a negative Offset value.

How wide does a road need to be for a 4.7-meter-long sedan to make a 90-degree turn?

For a 4.7-meter-long sedan, the width of a one-way road should not be less than 3.5 meters, a two-way road not less than 6.5 meters, and a fire lane not less than 4.0 meters; the width at a turning point should not be less than 12 meters. Roads at construction sites must be hardened. When a car turns at the minimum stable speed, the radius of the trajectory circle rolled by the center of the outer steering wheel on the supporting plane. The following are the hazards of vehicle overloading: Increased risk of rollover: The more passengers overloaded, the more the vehicle's center of gravity shifts, especially when turning, making the vehicle more prone to rollover. Reduced braking performance: Inertia is related to the mass of an object. When braking, the vehicle relies on resistance to stop. The more overloaded the vehicle, the greater its inertia, making it harder to stop than usual. Tire blowout: Overloading causes the vehicle's tires to operate under excessive load continuously, increasing tire pressure and temperature, which can easily lead to tire blowouts. Worsened accidents: Under normal circumstances, every member in the vehicle has corresponding safety belts, seats, and other equipment. However, with overloading, not everyone has these, making unavoidable situations that could have been prevented.

What is the difference between 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines?

The differences between two-stroke and four-stroke engines are as follows: Structural differences: Structurally, the two-stroke engine is relatively simpler, mainly composed of cylinder head, cylinder, piston, piston rings and other components, with intake, exhaust and transfer ports on the cylinder block; the opening and closing of these ports are determined by the piston's position. Compared to four-stroke engines, it lacks complex valve mechanisms and lubrication systems, and generally uses air cooling, making its structure much simpler. Performance differences: Performance-wise, when the crankshaft speed is the same, a two-stroke engine performs twice as many power strokes per unit time as a four-stroke engine. Theoretically, the power of a two-stroke engine should be twice that of a four-stroke engine (but in reality, it's only 1.5~1.7 times), with higher specific power, better dynamic performance, and less engine vibration. In addition, in terms of energy saving and environmental protection, four-stroke engines are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than two-stroke engines, with higher fuel utilization. Moreover, two-stroke engines are lighter in weight, cheaper to manufacture, have lower failure rates, are easier to maintain, and more convenient and flexible to use. Two-stroke working principle: First stroke: The piston moves upward from the bottom dead center, and after the three ports are closed simultaneously, the mixed gas entering the cylinder is compressed; when the intake port is exposed, the combustible mixture flows into the crankcase. Second stroke: When the piston is compressed near the top dead center, the spark plug ignites the combustible mixture, and the expanding gas pushes the piston downward to perform work. At this time, the intake port is closed, and the combustible mixture sealed in the crankcase is compressed; when the piston approaches the bottom dead center, the exhaust port opens, and the exhaust gas rushes out; then the transfer port opens, and the pre-compressed combustible mixture rushes into the cylinder to expel the exhaust gas, completing the scavenging process. Four-stroke working principle: Intake stroke: The intake valve (L) opens, the piston moves downward, and the mixture of fuel and air enters the cylinder. When the piston reaches the lowest point, the intake valve closes. Compression stroke: Both the intake and exhaust valves are closed, the piston moves upward, compressing the fuel-air mixture. When the piston reaches the top, the compression stroke ends, converting mechanical energy into internal energy. Power stroke: The spark ignites the mixture, the burning gas expands rapidly, pushing the piston downward, converting internal energy into mechanical energy. Exhaust stroke: The exhaust valve (R) opens, the piston moves upward, expelling the burned exhaust gas. When the piston reaches the top, the exhaust valve closes.

How to Check the Engine Oil Level in a Volkswagen Touareg?

The method to check the engine oil level in a Volkswagen Touareg is: 1. Turn on the car's ignition switch. 2. Press the CAR button on the infotainment system. 3. Lightly press the Service button on the function panel, and the engine oil level will be displayed on the car's function panel. Extended content: The functions of engine oil are: 1. Friction reduction. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear between car components. 2. Sealing effect. The oil can form a sealing ring between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing the entry of external contaminants. 3. Cleaning effect. The oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, and the flow of the lubricant washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts.
