The minimum ground clearance of a conventional family sedan typically ranges between 11-15 cm. Here is more information about car ground clearance: 1. Low ground clearance: When the ground clearance is low, the lower center of gravity, combined with the effect of airflow pressure, makes the vehicle more stable, with better traction, resulting in a more balanced and stable ride. Vehicles with very low ground clearance are mostly sports cars, whose aerodynamic design helps reduce the drag coefficient, which is beneficial for acceleration and also reduces fuel consumption caused by air resistance. 2. High ground clearance: Strong off-road capability; besides being suitable for urban driving, it also performs well on rough roads with poor conditions.

The ground clearance of a sedan usually refers to the distance between the ground and the chassis, typically ranging from 120mm to 180mm, depending on the model. I've driven several compact cars, such as the Volkswagen Polo with around 140mm and the Toyota Corolla with approximately 150mm. A low chassis is prone to scraping on rough roads; once, I damaged the oil pan on a bumpy rural road, costing over a thousand yuan to repair. Therefore, when buying a car, it's essential to check the manual or search online for specific data and consider daily road conditions. If you mostly drive on smooth city roads, 130mm is sufficient; for suburban areas or during rain and snow, choosing a clearance of 160mm or more is safer. Regularly check tire pressure and suspension to avoid changes in height.

What are the disadvantages of free car washes at gas stations?

Here are the disadvantages of free car washes at gas stations: Only cleans surface dust: First of all, the free car wash offered by gas stations is an automatic car wash. Automatic car washes are not suitable for all situations. If the car body is relatively dirty, the cleaning effect of an automatic car wash is not very noticeable. It can only clean surface dust, after all, the cleaning effect of a high-pressure water gun cannot compare to brushes and sponges. Causes scratches on the car paint: Even automatic car wash machines with brushes, although the cleaning effect might be slightly better, the small sand particles mixed in can be driven by the brushes, leading to scratches on the car paint, which will become very noticeable over time.

What was the last year for China IV vehicles?

The last batch of China IV vehicles was in 2017. The China IV emission standard was implemented nationwide starting from July 1, 2010, until July 1, 2017, when the China V standard was fully implemented across the country. Therefore, vehicles produced between 2011 and 2017 generally complied with the China IV emission standard. However, this is not entirely accurate as different regions had varying timelines for implementing emission standards. Here's an extended introduction: China IV Introduction: The China IV emission standard is the fourth-phase national standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions. Compared to China III, China IV requires light-duty vehicles to reduce single-vehicle pollutant emissions by approximately 50%, heavy-duty vehicles to reduce emissions by around 30%, and particulate matter emissions to be reduced by over 80%.

Does a car count as water-damaged if the engine didn't take in water?

As long as the interior components like upholstery and seats remain dry, it doesn't qualify as a water-damaged vehicle. Here's relevant information: Hazards: Water damage causes severe harm to vehicles, particularly damaging electronic control systems. The highly corrosive rainwater mixture compromises electrical components' functionality, with lasting impacts on future usage. Never attempt to start or operate the engine after water exposure, as this may cause severe connecting rod deformation. Submersion accelerates body component corrosion, shortening lifespan and compromising safety. Mud/water marks: Opening the engine compartment reveals residual mud stains or water traces on wiring harnesses even after cleaning. Interior water damage: Such vehicles inevitably undergo drying processes, with seats showing visible watermarks after immersion and subsequent drying.
