Lavida Classic is a compact sedan under SAIC Volkswagen. Here are some introductions about Lavida Classic: 1. Exterior: The overall shape looks very simple and neat, and the overall style still follows the family's household sedan; The side lines are bold, with an implied dynamic waistline; The front face uses a black honeycomb-designed air intake grille that is also full of sportiness. 2. Interior: The new car adopts dark decorations and uses chrome trim strips. The steering wheel's grip and the leather feel of the seats provide a great sense of comfort. The highlight is the new chocolate color scheme, and the design of the center console is more refined and stylish than the older models.

The Lavida Classic is a classic compact sedan launched by Volkswagen in the Chinese market. As a former owner, I drove it for over three years. It serves as the entry-level version of the Lavida series, featuring a traditional and practical design without many flashy elements, but it offers stable and durable performance. I used it for my daily commute, and it was very fuel-efficient, averaging only around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. While the rear seats are a bit cramped, the trunk is spacious enough to hold weekend shopping. It boasts good reliability, with hardly any major issues, and maintenance costs just a few hundred yuan per service, making it ideal for budget-conscious commuters or small families. Although newer models now come with more advanced tech, the Classic version remains a cost-effective choice in second-tier cities or for those prioritizing affordability. Think about it—it still upholds Volkswagen's manufacturing standards. While not as comfortable as pricier cars, it’s a reliable first car or backup vehicle. I found it particularly friendly for new drivers, with simple and safe handling.

I've been keeping an eye on budget-friendly cars and recently researched the Lavida Classic, which I believe is Volkswagen's affordable model designed for entry-level buyers. As a young person's first car, I bought it for less than 100,000 yuan. It has a simple and elegant exterior—not particularly flashy but still respectable when driven around. The driving experience is smooth, with the 1.5L engine providing enough power for city use, making it ideal for those not seeking high-speed thrills. The features are basic but practical, including essentials like a radio and manual air conditioning, along with safety features such as ABS. Fuel efficiency is excellent, making daily driving cost-effective. Maintenance is hassle-free, with affordable and readily available parts. I think the Lavida Classic holds its value well in the used car market and has low ownership costs, making it suitable for recent graduates or those with modest incomes. It also benefits from Volkswagen's extensive service network, ensuring convenience nationwide. If you're not chasing trends, it's a smart choice.

The Lavida Classic is a sub-series of Volkswagen's popular Lavida sedan, emphasizing economy and practicality. My driving experience tells me it's powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with smooth output, making stop-and-go city driving effortless. The suspension leans towards comfort, handling bumpy roads without discomfort. The interior space is reasonably designed—spacious upfront with moderate rear seating, suitable for solo commutes or small family trips. In terms of features, it lacks high-tech amenities but retains core functions like ABS and EBD safety systems. Fuel efficiency stands out as a highlight, proving very economical overall. Priced around 100,000 yuan, it's significantly cheaper than higher-trim Lavida models. I believe it suits those who prioritize simplicity and reliability over flashy features, wanting just a dependable ride. Its design and manufacturing adhere to Volkswagen standards—streamlined in features but robust in quality, rarely prone to breakdowns. It's perfectly adequate for daily use.

Our family uses the Lavida Classic as the main household car, which is very convenient for picking up the kids and grocery shopping. In terms of space, although it's not particularly spacious, it comfortably seats five people, and the trunk has a large capacity, easily accommodating shopping bags and luggage. It drives smoothly, and my wife feels confident driving it. The fuel consumption is low, requiring only two or three refuels a month, which helps save on expenses. Safety-wise, it comes with basic protective systems, giving us peace of mind for the kids' commute to and from school. Maintenance is simple, with affordable costs at repair shops, and daily upkeep is hassle-free. The Lavida Classic has a traditional and simple design but is highly durable, making it suitable for families who prioritize practicality and cost savings. If you're on a tight budget but still want a reliable joint-venture car, it's a great entry-level option—not luxurious but ensures basic safety.

How often should the spark plugs of the X-Trail be replaced?

The spark plugs of the X-Trail should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Spark plugs, commonly known as ignition plugs, are crucial components of the gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber, causing it to jump across the electrode gap, ionizing the air between the two electrodes to produce a spark, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. Methods to determine if the X-Trail's spark plugs need replacement: 1. During idle, use a screwdriver to perform a short-circuit test on the spark plugs. Carefully listen for changes in the engine's speed and sound. If there is little to no change compared to before, it indicates the spark plugs are functioning normally and do not need replacement. 2. Observe the color of the spark plugs. If they are reddish-brown or rust-colored, it also indicates normal functioning. If there is oil residue, it suggests the spark plug gap is misaligned or short-circuited, and replacement is necessary. The 2014 X-Trail measures 4643mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1725mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2706mm. It features a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body structure, a 6-speed manual transmission, and a naturally aspirated intake form.

To ensure your score is properly recorded, you need to collect and sign the score sheet after the test. You can first go to the driving school or driving test center to practice Subject 2 and then make up for the signature of the Subject 1 test.

No motor vehicle driving license shall be issued without signatures.
