The body weight of the Zotye Damai 7 is 1.4 tons. The Zotye Damai 7 is equipped with three turbocharged engines: 1.5T, 1.8T, and 2.0T. The 1.5T model is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 1.8T and 2.0T models are paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Taking the Zotye Damai 7 1.8T as an example: its body dimensions are 4736mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1672mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. The engine delivers a maximum power output of 177 horsepower, with peak torque available between 1750 to 5300 RPM.

I've driven the Zotye Damai X7, which has a curb weight ranging from 1,650 to 1,800 kilograms, equivalent to 1.65 to 1.8 tons. This car feels quite heavy, providing a stable driving experience—it doesn't drift on highways and remains composed when taking corners. The weight primarily comes from the generous use of steel and its spacious body, with additional load adding to the burden. In city driving, the fuel consumption is relatively high, costing more in gas, but the safety is excellent, with minimal body sway on bumpy roads. When buying a car, it's advisable to consider its weight—too heavy can be inconvenient for city use, especially when parking and starting. Given material factors, SUVs are generally heavier, making this car suitable for the peace of mind during long-distance travel.

I've checked the parameters of the Zotye Damai X7, with a curb weight ranging approximately from 1,670 to 1,780 kg. A weight of 1.7 tons has a significant impact on acceleration; the engine needs to output sufficient horsepower to push it forward, otherwise, the start will be a bit sluggish. The weight also affects braking distance, as a heavier vehicle requires more distance to come to a complete stop. From my tests, on slippery roads, heavier cars actually feel more stable and are less prone to skidding. This is due to the body structure and materials, which use high-strength steel to increase rigidity. If you often drive on mountain roads, this weight provides a sense of security, but it also leads to faster fuel consumption and tire wear. When modifying, pay attention to lightweight materials, as reducing weight can enhance agility.

The weight of the Zotye Damai X7, according to the data I've seen, is typically around 1,700 kilograms. This weight is quite practical for daily driving, as the body is sturdy and less prone to damage, offering good stability at high speeds. However, fuel consumption tends to be higher, especially in congested urban areas where fuel costs increase. The weight comes from its large size and material design, and when fully loaded with passengers, the total weight can approach 2 tons, leading to even higher fuel consumption. I recommend checking the suspension and tires during maintenance, as heavier vehicles tend to wear out parts faster. From a safety perspective, heavier vehicles provide better protection in collisions but are less agile in turns. When choosing a car, consider its intended use: lighter models may be better for city commuting, while this weight class is more suitable for long-distance travel.

What does the yellow filled marking on the road mean?

Yellow filled markings on the road are obstacle approach markings. Here is the relevant information: 1. Obstacle approach markings: Indicate the presence of fixed obstacles on the road surface, warning vehicle drivers to drive cautiously and guiding traffic flow smoothly away from the obstacle area. 2. White dashed lines in the middle of the road: These are center lines that can be crossed within the same direction lane, meaning that on such roads, motor vehicles are allowed to cross lanes without penalty. When driving on the road, motor vehicles must pay attention that neither solid white lines nor solid yellow lines are allowed to be crossed; only dashed lines can be crossed.

Is a 1.4L engine displacement too small?

1.4L car engine power can meet the needs of daily household use and urban commuting. For highway driving, it depends on the vehicle size. For example, compact cars like the POLO can handle highway driving without issues, but for A-segment or larger vehicles, it's advisable to choose a car with a larger displacement. Here is additional information: Meaning of 1.4T: 1.4T essentially refers to a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharger. The displacement is still considered 1.4L, but the power output becomes significantly stronger. Generally, turbocharged engines can achieve power levels equivalent to 1.3-1.5 times their displacement in naturally aspirated engines. Therefore, it can be simply stated that a 1.4T engine is comparable to a naturally aspirated engine with 1.8-2.0L displacement.

Why Doesn't the Manual Gear Shift Lever Return to the Middle Position?

Manual gear shift lever not returning to the middle position may be due to a damaged or weakened return spring. Here is some relevant information: 1. Manual Transmission: A manual transmission car refers to a vehicle that uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual gear, MT) to adjust speed. That is, the gear lever must be manually moved to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed change. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. 2. Manual Gearbox: The manual gearbox has a simple structure, reliable performance, low manufacturing and maintenance costs, and high transmission efficiency (theoretically more fuel-efficient). Additionally, due to pure mechanical control, it offers faster shifting response and more directly reflects the driver's intentions, thus providing more driving pleasure.

Do You Need to Turn Off the Engine and Get Out of the Car When Refueling?

When refueling a car, it is necessary to turn off the engine, but getting out of the car is not mandatory. Here is the relevant information: 1. Reason: When the engine is running, the vehicle's circuits and electrical systems are powered, with current flowing. If a short circuit or leakage occurs at this time, it can easily cause a fire. 2. Precautions: During refueling, the concentration of oil-gas mixture around the fuel tank increases accordingly. Since the density of this mixture is greater than that of air, when the oil vapor concentration reaches a certain level, any spark generated by the running car engine could ignite and explode it.

What is the difference between Castrol Edge Professional and Castrol Edge?

The differences between Castrol Edge Professional and Castrol Edge are as follows: 1. Different nature: The official product line of Castrol engine oil is Edge-Magnatec-GTX-Gold-Super, from left to right, the level decreases. On the official website, only Edge is labeled as fully synthetic oil, Magnatec is labeled as synthetic oil on the official website, but it is actually what is commonly referred to as semi-synthetic oil. The rest, starting from GTX, are mineral oils. 2. Different characteristics: Professional is the result of Castrol's cooperation with car manufacturers, not sold to the public, only used in 4S maintenance. There are many manufacturers cooperating with Castrol, but not all Edge Professional products are of the same quality. Ordinary Edge can be used by everyone.

Is it troublesome to add ACC when cruise control is already installed?

It is not troublesome to add ACC when cruise control is already installed. Additional information: 1. Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive cruise control uses computer and radar to adjust the distance between vehicles. If the distance is too close, it automatically brakes and reduces power; if the distance is too long, it accelerates automatically, maintaining the set distance and speed. 2. More Fuel-Efficient: Cruise control maintains a constant speed, which is more fuel-efficient. Basically, there is no need to press the accelerator. Given the technological content and positioning of adaptive cruise control, it is naturally not available in low-end cars and is typically found in mid-range cars at the very least. 3. Principle of Cruise Control System: The principle of the cruise control system mainly involves the cruise control component reading the pulse signal from the speed sensor and comparing it with the set speed. Through precise electronic calculations, it issues commands to ensure the most accurate fuel supply at the set speed.
