The 2020 CR-V Classic model has a minimum ground clearance of 135MM. Below is detailed information about the 2020 CR-V: 1. The 2020 CR-V is a city classic SUV model produced by Dongfeng Honda. The mid-to-high trim models have a minimum ground clearance of 137MM. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the level ground when the vehicle is fully loaded, reflecting the car's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. 2. The 2020 CR-V features a stylish and dynamic exterior with smooth and rounded yet sporty lines. The interior adopts the same LCD instrument panel as the new Civic and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. In terms of power, it continues to be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 193 horsepower and a peak torque of 243 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual or CVT continuously variable transmission.

Our family has been driving the CR-V for many years. As a family car frequently used in suburban areas, I remember its official ground clearance is around 8.2 inches, approximately 208 mm. This height is quite suitable, making it easy to get in and out, and neither children nor elderly have any difficulty. On rural roads or during the rainy season, water doesn’t submerge the wheels, so it has decent passing ability. However, it’s important to note that different model years may vary—for example, the 2019 model has 8.1 inches, while the 2023 model returned to 8.2 inches, mainly depending on the chassis design and drivetrain, with the 4WD version being slightly higher. I’ve tried it on light off-road sections, and it handled well without scraping the undercarriage. Overall, the CR-V’s ground clearance ensures daily safety and comfort, though loading heavy items might lower it slightly, so regular tire wear checks are needed. Among SUVs, it’s fairly balanced—slightly lower than the RAV4’s 8.4 inches but more suitable for city driving. Maintenance is simple, and there’s no need to worry too much about bumpy roads.

Does a broken car shock absorber have any impact?

Yes, a broken car shock absorber does have an impact. When one shock absorber is damaged, the corresponding wheel essentially loses its shock absorption or the absorber becomes too soft, significantly reducing the vehicle's damping effect. The most noticeable symptom is a loud "clunking" noise when driving over bumps or speed bumps. Additionally, the traction between that wheel and the road surface decreases, and the car's body roll increases during turns, potentially leading to skidding in severe cases. Extended Information: Function of Shock Absorbers: The primary role of a car shock absorber is to suppress the oscillations of the spring after absorbing shocks and to mitigate impacts from the road surface. While the suspension spring can filter out road vibrations when driving on uneven surfaces, the spring itself continues to oscillate. The shock absorber is designed to control this spring movement. Therefore, the shock absorber dampens the spring's motion rather than the car body's. Important Notes: When replacing shock absorbers, it is generally recommended to replace both shock absorbers on the same axle simultaneously. If not, the differing damping effects of the two shock absorbers can lead to inconsistent steering feel between left and right turns, uneven body roll, and not only affect ride comfort but also, more critically, impair the vehicle's handling. This can make the car difficult to control during high-speed lane changes, overtaking, or cornering, increasing driving risks.

How often should the brake fluid in a car be changed?

Brake fluid in a car should be changed every 40,000 kilometers or every 3 years. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, is a functional liquid that transmits pressure in the vehicle's braking system, enabling the braking action on the wheels. Brake fluid does not undergo chemical reactions, is unaffected by high temperatures, and does not corrode, soften, or expand metals and rubber. If brake fluid is not changed for a long time, it can lead to reduced braking force, causing air resistance in the brake lines, which affects braking performance. It can also corrode the brake lines, damage the internal valves of the anti-lock braking hydraulic assembly, and cause wear to the pistons and rubber cups in the brake master cylinder, resulting in contaminated brake fluid.

Does the X-Trail have a particulate filter?

The previous generation of the X-Trail started to include a particulate filter from the 2021 model year, installed in a coupled configuration with the three-way catalytic converter and GPF. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, capable of capturing particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by more than 90%, with the captured particulate matter subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber mat filter. When the accumulation of particles reaches a certain level, a burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check if the X-Trail is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Look at the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Check the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter for an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.

Is There Rubber Inside a Spark Plug Socket?

There is no rubber inside a spark plug socket. The spark plug socket is used for installing and removing engine spark plugs, which come in two sizes: 16mm and 21mm. A spark plug socket is a specialized tool designed for manually installing and removing spark plugs. When using it, select a spark plug socket with appropriate height and radial dimensions based on the spark plug's installation position and hex size. Insert the spark plug into the hexagon of the wrench, turning clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. When installing or removing a spark plug, ensure the socket is properly aligned before turning to prevent slipping. Do not extend the handle arbitrarily when turning the spark plug socket to avoid damaging the socket.

What to Do If It Rains After Applying Car Window Film?

You can drive normally if it rains after applying car window film. The functions of window film are: 1. Blocking ultraviolet rays; 2. Reducing heat transmission; 3. Preventing injuries caused by shattered glass; 4. Reducing glare; 5. Protecting personal privacy; 6. Lowering the interior temperature through physical reflection, thereby reducing the use of car air conditioning. Precautions for window film application: 1. Do not roll the windows up or down, as this may cause the film to shift if not fully adhered; 2. Avoid cleaning the film within one week; 3. Refrain from using sharp or rough tools to scratch the film; 4. Avoid using highly corrosive chemical solvents to clean the film surface.

What is the maximum size and length for blue license plate vehicles?

The largest vehicle eligible for a blue license plate is a truck with a length under 6 meters and a total weight under 4,500 kg. These typically include light-duty and mini trucks. In China, trucks are categorized into three types: light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty, based on their load capacity. The classification standards vary by country. In China, trucks with a load capacity below 3.5 tons are classified as light-duty, those between 4 to 8 tons as medium-duty, and those above 8 tons as heavy-duty. Below is an introduction to different types of license plates: 1. New energy vehicle license plates: Green background with black characters and black borders. The new energy vehicle plates feature a gradient green color, while large new energy vehicle plates combine yellow and green (the regional code part is yellow, and the number part is green). 2. Large vehicle license plates: Yellow background with black characters and black borders. These are for medium-sized (and above) passenger and cargo vehicles, special operation vehicles, semi-trailer tractors, and electric vehicles. 3. Trailer license plates: Yellow background with black characters and black borders. These are for full trailers and semi-trailers not permanently attached to a tractor. 4.
