Speaking of the Infiniti ESQ, I've driven this car a few times and feel its positioning is quite clear—it's a compact luxury SUV specifically designed for young urban demographics. With a petite body length of around 4 meters, parking and turning are exceptionally agile, especially in congested cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where driving it feels effortless. The interior features leather and soft materials, giving it a somewhat upscale vibe, though it doesn’t quite match top-tier luxury vehicles. Under the hood, the 1.6T engine provides ample power for daily commutes, and fuel consumption is kept at around 8L/100km, making it relatively economical. Priced at approximately 300,000 yuan when new, it served as an entry-level option in the Infiniti lineup. Its target market was precise: attracting white-collar professionals or young couples in their twenties who desired brand prestige without breaking the bank. Although discontinued, its positioning was undeniably successful. Compared to other compact SUVs like the Audi Q2, the ESQ stood out with its bold design elements, such as the exaggerated headlights, which always turned heads. However, the trunk space is limited at about 330 liters, making it slightly impractical for large items—thus, its utility is somewhat confined to daily city life and weekend getaways. Overall, it effectively filled the gap for an affordable, compact luxury vehicle.

What is China 6 Vehicle?

China 6 vehicles refer to those compliant with the China 6 emission standards, officially known as the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. These standards were established to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to control vehicle pollutant emissions and improve ambient air quality. Under the China 6a emission standards, the carbon monoxide emission limit for gasoline and diesel vehicles is set at 0.5g per kilometer. China 6a essentially adopts the lower limits of the China 5 standards, while China 6b represents the true China 6 emission standards with significantly stricter control over nitrogen oxide emissions, showing a substantial reduction compared to previous standards. Additionally, it imposes limits on nitrogen dioxide emissions, which were not regulated during the China 5 phase.

Can I have my car serviced outside the dealership where I bought it?

You can have your car serviced outside the dealership where you bought it. Car owners have the right to choose their own maintenance service providers. If the car is serviced outside the dealership during the warranty period, it will not affect the warranty service. However, it is important to keep all maintenance receipts and relevant service records when servicing elsewhere, so that if major issues arise later, the dealership cannot shirk responsibility. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the vehicle's lifespan. Modern car maintenance mainly includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more.

What are the principles for handling emergency situations while driving?

The principles for handling emergency situations while driving are: remain calm and composed, adhere to the principle of avoiding pedestrians before objects. When a vehicle is traveling at high speed, sudden steering can easily cause the vehicle to skid and collide or overturn due to centrifugal force. Therefore, even if a collision with the vehicle ahead is possible, the driver should first brake to reduce speed, then steer to avoid. Emergency measures for special situations: vehicle collisions mostly occur when the vehicle ahead suddenly slows down or changes direction abruptly, and the extent of damage mainly depends on the impact speed and location. When there is a possibility of a side collision, the first priority is to control the direction, following the direction of the vehicle ahead to transform a side collision into a glancing collision, thereby reducing the severity of damage.

Why is the wiper making a scraping noise?

The reasons for the wiper making a scraping noise are: 1. The wiper blade has aged and hardened; 2. There is a foreign object between the wiper blade and the windshield; 3.
