The Kaisheng is an economical SUV under Dongfeng Fengxing. I've driven it for several years. Initially, I chose it for its spacious interior—the rear seats can be folded flat, making it convenient for loading items. During family trips, the trunk could easily fit a tent and luggage. It's powered by a 1.6L engine, delivering smooth performance, with city fuel consumption around 7-8L per 100km, which is quite economical. The interior is simple and practical, without flashy features, but it comes with basic safety airbags and a rearview camera, making it easy for new drivers to handle. The downside is noticeable noise at high speeds, with tire sounds affecting music enjoyment. Overall, it offers great value for money, suitable for budget-conscious families or commuters. I recommend it for city driving—reliable, hassle-free, with low maintenance costs, and durable over time.

As a car enthusiast who loves tinkering with vehicles, I'm fascinated by the modification potential of the Kaicene. Based on the Dongfeng Fengxing platform, its 1.5T engine delivers adequate power output. I've upgraded the intake system and exhaust to enhance the acceleration kick. The simple suspension structure makes it easy to install shorter springs and shock absorbers, improving cornering stability. You can also swap to larger wheels and tires; fitting off-road tires makes weekend mountain drives even more thrilling. The spacious cabin allows you to remove the rear seats for storing skis or mountain bikes, making it perfect for outdoor adventures. Modifications are affordable, ideal for entry-level enthusiasts. The engine is reliable, but pay attention to the electrical system—minor glitches occasionally occur, though I've fixed them myself with a multimeter. Don't hesitate—give it some personal flair!

Kaisheng is an SUV launched by Dongfeng, which I remember seeing at an auto show a few years ago. Positioned as an affordable option, its competitors in the same price range include the Haval H6 or the Changan CS series. Engine options are 1.5L or 1.6L, with smooth transmission, making it comfortable and fuel-efficient for city driving. The interior layout is practical, featuring supportive front seats and spacious rear seating that can comfortably accommodate three adults without feeling cramped. Reliability is decent; after five years of use, there have been no major issues, and maintenance is straightforward, requiring only a regular repair shop. It's suitable for average families, ideal for daily commutes or school runs. The downside is the interior materials are average and prone to wear over time.

I often use the Kaisheng to pick up my kids from school and for weekend outings. It's spacious enough for five people, and the trunk can fit a stroller and a snack box, making trips hassle-free. The driving visibility is excellent, and turning is effortless. The equipped reverse radar is practical and safe. It's fuel-efficient, costing only a few hundred yuan a month on gas. The air conditioning cools quickly, keeping the car cool in summer. The seats are moderately firm, preventing backaches on long drives. There's some noise at high speeds, but playing some music covers it up. Overall, it's easy to drive and durable, perfect for young parents.

Which Gear is the Low Gear?

Low gear refers to the 1st gear in the transmission. Below is an introduction to the low gear: 1. Introduction: The low gear, also known as the climbing gear, is one of the most common additional manual gears in automatic transmission vehicles. The English word for low is 'low,' and its first letter is 'L,' so the low gear is often marked as the 'L' gear. 2. Function: The primary function of the low gear is to restrict the vehicle's automatic transmission to operate under the 1st gear condition. Regardless of how high the engine speed or output shaft speed is, or how mismatched they are, the transmission will not perform an upshift operation, and the vehicle will not shift to a higher gear. This allows the automatic transmission to temporarily switch to a manual mode, enabling the driver to force the car to continue driving in the 1st gear to handle special road conditions.

How much oil does a motorcycle need?

Motorcycles with different displacements require different amounts of oil. The most common 150cc motorcycles need 1 liter of oil, while larger displacement motorcycles require more oil. Here is more information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is known as the blood of the engine. Without oil, the engine cannot operate properly. 2. In the engine, oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. 3. When the engine is running, oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components inside the engine, preventing direct contact and friction between them.

How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror to the Correct Position?

The method for adjusting the rearview mirror is as follows: 1. Left side mirror: The driver should use the horizon as a reference, adjusting the vertical angle so that the sky and ground each occupy half of the mirror. Then adjust the horizontal angle so that the car body occupies about 1/4 of the mirror's surface. 2. Right side mirror: Since the right side mirror is farther from the driver, the space occupied by the sky should be reduced. Therefore, compared to the left side mirror, the right side mirror should have a different ratio of sky to ground, with the sky occupying 1/4 and the ground occupying 3/4. The horizontal angle adjustment is similar to the left side mirror.

What Causes Vehicle Shaking at Low Speeds?

Detailed explanations and solutions for vehicle shaking at low speeds are as follows: 1. Poor tire balance: Generally, when replacing new tires or new steel rims, a tire balance should be performed. Otherwise, an uneven weight distribution can easily cause the steering wheel to shake. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for four-wheel alignment and dynamic balance. 2. Transmission failure: Damage to the valve body or dirty transmission oil with internal impurities, especially when dirt and impurities accumulate inside the valve body, blocking the pipelines, can lead to ineffective regulation of oil pressure, causing issues like jerking, impact, and slippage. Solution: Replace the transmission valve body or clean the transmission. 3. Rim deformation: Whether it's a regular steel rim or a lightweight aluminum rim, deformation or cracking can occur when subjected to certain external forces. Rim deformation, uneven weight distribution of the rim, and incorrect rim angles can all cause shaking while driving. Solution: Replace the rim.
