Lexus and Toyota have the following relationship: Lexus is an automotive brand under Toyota. Taking the 2020 Lexus ES as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category with body dimensions of 4975mm in length, 1866mm in width, and 1447mm in height, a wheelbase of 2870mm, a fuel tank capacity of 49.3 liters, and a curb weight of 1720kg. The 2020 Lexus ES features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178PS, a maximum power of 131kW, and a maximum torque of 221Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.

I've been observing the development of car brands, and Lexus is actually a luxury sub-brand created by Toyota in 1989, specifically designed to compete with high-end rivals like Mercedes-Benz and BMW. At the time, Toyota saw its dominance in the mainstream market—models like the Corolla and Camry were selling exceptionally well—but to attract buyers seeking premium quality, it needed to launch a more refined brand. As a result, Lexus made a global splash right from the start. For example, the first LS sedan directly rivaled the Mercedes S-Class, powered by a Toyota-developed V8 engine, proving that Toyota could elevate its technology to luxury standards. Now, after all these years, Lexus continues to thrive in North America and Asia, and Toyota has also learned a lot about craftsmanship and design from it, making its own cars more reliable. In short, this duo is like a father-son relationship—the father is steady and solid, while the son pursues the high-end, but the bloodline remains unbroken, sharing resources to support the entire empire.

From a technical perspective, Lexus and Toyota have an extremely close relationship as they share a vast number of core components. For instance, their chassis platforms—the Toyota Camry and Lexus ES both utilize the TNGA architecture—which translates to cost savings in manufacturing processes and improved efficiency. The same applies to engines, such as the 2.5-liter hybrid system used in the Prius and then fine-tuned for a more premium application in the Lexus UX. Having studied these systems, I've found that Toyota handles mass-market development and then upgrades the technology for transfer to Lexus luxury vehicles. This design philosophy ensures Lexus meets quality benchmarks while allowing Toyota to refine reliability through feedback. However, Lexus incorporates exclusive elements like advanced suspension and noise control to emphasize comfort. Simply put, it's like a sibling collaboration—Toyota provides the foundational framework, and Lexus elevates it into a premium product.

What are the wheel specifications for the Mondeo?

The 18-inch wheel model for the Mondeo is 235/45R18. Here, 235 represents the tire's section width of 235 millimeters, 45 indicates the aspect ratio (the percentage of the tire's section height divided by its width), R stands for radial tire, and 18 denotes the rim diameter of 18 inches. The new Mondeo uses aluminum alloy wheels for the following reasons: The new Mondeo employs aluminum alloy wheels, which have gained increasing popularity among private car owners due to their aesthetic appeal, safety, and comfort. Maintenance methods for aluminum alloy wheels: When the wheel temperature is high, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Never use cold water for cleaning, as this can damage the aluminum alloy wheel and even deform the brake disc, affecting braking performance. Additionally, using cleaning agents on hot wheels can cause chemical reactions on the surface, leading to loss of luster and reduced aesthetics. For stubborn tar stains on wheels, try using a brush if regular cleaners are ineffective. A home remedy for removing tar: Apply medicinal "Huoluo Oil" for surprisingly effective results—worth a try. In humid environments, clean the wheels frequently to prevent salt corrosion on the aluminum surface. If necessary, apply wax after cleaning to maintain the wheel's shine.

What kind of car is Fujiwara Takumi's AE86?

Fujiwara Takumi's AE86 is a Toyota Trueno GT Apex (AE86). The AE86 is a model from Toyota's compact car series called the Corolla. AE86 is not a name but a chassis code. The AE86 is the fourth-generation Corolla model first produced in 1983. Previous models included the TE27, TE51, TE55, TE61, TE65, and TE71, followed by the AE86 chassis. This chassis was used not only in the Corolla Levin but also in the Trueno, hence the distinction between pop-up and fixed-headlight AE86 variants. The AE86 also came in two-door and two-door hatchback versions, essentially offering four body styles, all referred to as AE86. They shared major components like the engine and transmission, with the most significant difference being the rear differential (DIFF). The AE86 features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and has a relatively heavy body. Its rear-wheel design uses a non-independent solid axle with a single trailing arm suspension. This configuration gives the AE86 an inherent advantage in drifting, as it offers greater agility, making it highly suitable for drifting.

What does the G value mean?

The G in cars is a unit of gravity, with g representing more, mainly gravitational acceleration. During vehicle testing, there are two sets of data: lateral and longitudinal. The lateral data indicates the side-slip limit of the car when turning, commonly understood as the relationship between the vehicle's speed and the angle of the curve without causing side-slip. This represents the vehicle's handling performance. The longitudinal data indicates the vehicle's performance during acceleration and deceleration, i.e., the maximum capacity for speed increase and braking. A car with a higher g value performs better. For general-use vehicles, the maximum and minimum longitudinal values can be achieved, but the lateral values, due to the risk of losing control, are rarely achieved by anyone other than professional drivers. The full vehicle value of a car: This refers to the length and tonnage of the vehicle, charged as a single fee. The vehicle is delivered to a specified location individually, with the fee based on the full vehicle price, equivalent to a charter price. The ECU of a car: ECU (Electronic Control Unit), commonly known as the "onboard computer," is a specialized microcomputer controller for cars, also called the car's dedicated computer. When the engine is running, the ECU collects signals from various sensors, performs calculations, and converts the results into control signals to manage the controlled objects. The inherent program continuously compares and calculates with the signals collected from the sensors during engine operation. The results of these comparisons and calculations control multiple parameters of the engine, such as ignition, idle speed, and exhaust gas recirculation. It also has self-diagnostic and protective functions. The memory continuously records driving data, forming the ECU's learning program to provide optimal control states adapted to driving habits, known as the adaptive program.

How many points can be deducted through traffic law learning?

The maximum points that can be deducted within one scoring cycle is 6. According to Article 5 of the Notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020 (Public Traffic Management [2020] No. 14), titled "Work Standards for Deducting Points for Road Traffic Violations by Receiving Traffic Safety Education (Trial)": Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to deduct points for traffic violations should participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, examinations, or traffic safety public welfare activities according to their highest permitted driving license type and meet relevant requirements to apply for point deduction. The point deduction through learning is a measure for drivers holding a driving license who have been penalized for traffic violations.
