In winter, using white liquor or alcohol to clean windows can prevent freezing. The freezing point of alcohol is below -180 degrees Celsius, and the alcohol content in high-proof liquor significantly lowers the freezing point of water, thus preventing window glass from freezing. During winter, car window glass is exposed to outdoor air, causing the glass temperature to drop below freezing. When indoor water vapor encounters the sub-zero glass, it directly sublimates into ice crystals adhering to the glass. Ice formation on windows severely obstructs visibility and compromises driving safety. Additional Information: Methods to Remove Ice from Car Windows: 1. Using Car Heater to Remove Ice: After the car window glass has frozen, start the vehicle. Once the engine temperature rises, use the air conditioner's warm air to blow on the windshield until the ice melts. This method is the safest and does not damage the glass, but it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumes more fuel. 2. Using Spray De-icer to Remove Ice: Spray de-icer is a high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specifically developed to thaw frozen car windows and wipers. It does not harm the car's surface and prevents re-freezing and dirt accumulation. High-quality spray de-icers can easily remove ice and snow even at temperatures below -30°C. Additionally, it prevents the windshield and water accumulation areas from freezing, does not damage the car's surface, and leaves the glass clean and streak-free after cleaning.

What engine does the Mitsubishi Grandis use?

Mitsubishi Grandis is equipped with a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine across all models, which is an MPV vehicle. The 2.4L naturally aspirated engine in the Mitsubishi Grandis delivers 130 horsepower and a maximum torque of 205 Nm. This engine can output its maximum power at 5000 rpm and reach peak torque at 3000 rpm. The engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. Below is an introduction to the Mitsubishi Grandis: 1. The 2.4L naturally aspirated engine in the Mitsubishi Grandis employs relatively mature technology, offering good reliability and durability. The only drawback of this engine is its somewhat high fuel consumption, especially in models equipped with a 4AT transmission, which tend to consume even more fuel. The engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4AT transmission. The AT transmission offers better reliability and durability, along with smoother gear shifting. 2. The Mitsubishi Grandis uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a semi-trailing arm independent suspension at the rear. The interior space of the Mitsubishi Grandis is also quite spacious, with the vehicle's dimensions being 4705 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, 1650 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2776 mm.

What is the fuel consumption of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is 5.7L/100km. Currently, there are 5 models of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard on sale: the J15 version, J11 version, J10 Flyer version, J16 version, and J16 Su Shen Limited Edition, all with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.3-9.0L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to combust, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
