I've been driving the petrol version of the Leiling with a 1.2T engine for a while now, with horsepower around 116. It feels quite sufficient for daily commuting, with smooth acceleration and overtaking—not too aggressive but not sluggish either. As a family car, the horsepower is designed more for fuel efficiency, and my average fuel consumption is about 6 liters per 100 kilometers, which is economical and worry-free in city traffic. If you're considering the hybrid version, the 1.8L engine combined with the electric motor delivers a combined horsepower of around 122, making it more agile from a standstill. On the highway, horsepower doesn't make much of a difference, but you'll noticeably feel the lack of power in poor road conditions or when carrying heavy loads. The Leiling's overall tuning leans toward comfort, unlike sportier models that prioritize high horsepower. It's best to test-drive it yourself to see if it matches your driving habits. Horsepower is also influenced by the car's weight—the Leiling weighs 1.3 tons, and 116 horsepower strikes a good balance for everyday needs.

I'm quite familiar with the Leiling's powertrain. It mainly features a 1.2T turbocharged engine with 116 horsepower, which is average among its peers—quick off the line but limited in top speed. Horsepower affects acceleration performance, with a 0-100km/h time of around 10.5 seconds, sufficient for daily driving but not for racing. Compared to high-horsepower models like the Civic, the Leiling focuses more on fuel efficiency and reliability, with its engine being less prone to issues over long-term use. The hybrid version uses a 1.8L engine with 98 horsepower from the pure fuel side, supplemented by electric motor assistance, making the power delivery feel smoother. In real-world driving, higher horsepower can make uphill climbs or highway driving less strenuous, but for city driving, the difference in horsepower isn't very noticeable. I recommend considering other factors like chassis tuning and fuel consumption for a more practical choice overall.

As a young person who just bought the Leiling 1.2T version with 116 horsepower, I find it quick and responsive to drive. Its stylish exterior and moderate horsepower, combined with a low fuel consumption of 5.5 liters, make it both economical and eco-friendly. Horsepower affects acceleration speed—it's agile in the city but average on highways. Different models vary in horsepower, with the hybrid version offering a smoother 122 horsepower combined. Young people choosing a car shouldn't focus solely on horsepower; practicality and safety are more important.

My experience in car repair has allowed me to see many Levens. The 1.2T model has 116 horsepower, while the fuel part of the 1.8L hybrid has 98 horsepower. The engines are durable with stable horsepower, requiring regular maintenance after a few years to avoid carbon buildup. When horsepower is insufficient, check the spark plugs or sensors, but the design matches the vehicle weight and fuel consumption. More horsepower is needed for mountain roads, while it's sufficient for city driving.

How to Adjust the Throttle Position Sensor?

Here are the steps to adjust the throttle position sensor: 1. Loosen the two fixing screws of the throttle position sensor. 2. Insert a 0.35mm feeler gauge between the throttle stop screw and the stop lever, while using a multimeter to measure the quick switch conduction status. 3. Rotate the throttle position sensor counterclockwise to disconnect the quick switch contacts, then slowly rotate it clockwise. 4. Tighten the two fixing screws. Below are the functions of the throttle position sensor: 1. Detects whether the engine is in idle condition or under load, and whether it is accelerating or decelerating. 2. The throttle position sensor, also known as the throttle opening sensor or throttle switch, is a device used to detect the engine's operating state. 3. The working principle of the throttle position sensor is: converting changes in throttle opening into electrical signals input to the electronic control unit (ECU), which then determines the engine's operating condition based on the throttle position signal.

What to Do If the ETC Device Falls Off?

ETC needs to be reinstalled and reactivated after falling off. The installation process for the ETC device is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; the red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Method to activate the ETC device: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually with a download QR code on the electronic tag). Navigate to the device activation interface. Click "Connect Device" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

How to Read Tire Size Codes?

Tire size codes are printed on the sidewall of the tire. Upon close inspection, you can find numerical sequences similar to the following example. For instance, P215/65R15-89H: 1. "P" stands for Passenger car tire (to distinguish from tires designed for trucks or other vehicle types); "215" indicates the section width of the tire, which is the distance between the two sidewalls (measured in millimeters). This width varies depending on the rim width the tire is matched with: wider rims pair with wider tires, and narrower rims with narrower tires. Generally, the width marked on the sidewall refers to the width when the tire is mounted on a rim of the recommended width. 2. "65" is the aspect ratio, representing the ratio of the tire's height to its width. Here, it means the height is 65% of the width. The smaller the number, the flatter the tire appears; "R" denotes the tire's construction, indicating it's a Radial tire, meaning its cord plies are arranged radially within the tire body. "B" signifies a Bias-ply construction, though bias-ply passenger car tires are no longer in production. 3. "15" indicates the rim diameter (in inches). This tire must be paired with a 15-inch rim; otherwise, it cannot be installed. "89" represents the load index, with this tire's maximum load capacity being 1,279 pounds. Different load indices correspond to different maximum load capacities (usually measured in pounds or kilograms). 4. "H" indicates the speed rating, meaning this tire's maximum speed is 130 miles per hour. In the older European sidewall marking system, it would be denoted as 215/65HR15. Different letters represent different speed ratings.

How to Solve the Problem of Unstable Car Idling Speed Fluctuating Up and Down?

Solutions to unstable car idling speed fluctuating up and down: adjust the throttle valve and idle speed to ensure the engine operates at the lowest stable speed. The throttle valve is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine, available in two types: traditional cable-operated and electronic throttle. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture for combustion and power generation. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom. The responsiveness of the car's acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle valve. Car idling refers to an operating condition where the engine runs without load, meaning the car is in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed, which can be adjusted by altering the throttle opening size. Idling essentially means the engine is running but not performing work.
