What is the power of the cigarette lighter in Lavida Plus?
3 Answers
Lavida Plus cigarette lighter power is 120 watts. Power: Lavida Plus is equipped with a new engine from the EA211 series, with a maximum horsepower of 116 hp and a maximum torque of 150 Nm; it is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. Configuration: Lavida Plus comes standard with an automatic start-stop system and Auto-Hold function; the new car will also be equipped with features such as automatic parking, electronic handbrake, leather seats, one-key start, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, rear air vents, and rear USB charging ports. Appearance: The rear design of Lavida Plus is bold and clean, with simple lines, and the taillights, like the headlights, use LED light sources.
The cigarette lighter output of the Lavida Plus is generally 12V with a 15A fuse, which calculates to around 180W. I often use it to power an air pump and have tested it myself—devices under 200W generally work fine, but it's recommended not to exceed 150W for long-term use. Over time, the spring contacts in the cigarette lighter socket can loosen, leading to poor contact and easily tripping the fuse. Last time, my car vacuum suddenly lost power, and upon checking, it turned out the fuse had blown. Keeping a few spare fuses is very practical—there’s even a diagram on the back of the glove compartment fuse box cover. The key point is to never try high-power devices like rice cookers. At best, you’ll blow a fuse; at worst, you’ll melt the socket, which is troublesome to repair and can affect the entire vehicle’s electrical system. In fact, the cigarette lighter port is more suitable for small-power devices like fast phone chargers or dash cams.
The cigarette lighter in Lavida Plus is typically rated at 120-180W, depending on the fuse specification. My car has a 15A fuse with a red cap, which can be replaced by removing the bottom of the center armrest. There are three points to note when using the cigarette lighter: first, turn off the engine before unplugging devices during voltage fluctuations; second, avoid coiling the connecting cable into a tight knot as it affects heat dissipation; third, do not use heated seat cushions for more than two hours in winter. Once, a friend used a low-quality car charger that caused half of the socket to melt, costing over 300 yuan to repair. When choosing devices, look for the 12V label and keep the power below 80% for maximum safety. Keeping a voltage detection plug handy allows real-time monitoring—stop using it immediately if the voltage drops below 11V.
