Generally, it is recommended to purchase comprehensive car insurance, which consists of basic insurance and additional coverage. This includes compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, no-deductible insurance, passenger liability insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, water damage insurance, scratch insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, and theft insurance. Below is an introduction to the coverage of each type of insurance: 1. Theft Insurance: Covers damage to the car during robbery or theft, including losses due to the entire vehicle being stolen, robbed, or seized, as well as damage or loss of vehicle parts and accessories. 2. Passenger Liability Insurance: Provides coverage for passengers in the vehicle, excluding the driver. 3. Water Damage Insurance: Covers losses caused by engine damage due to immersion in water. 4. Spontaneous Combustion Insurance: Covers losses caused by fire due to the vehicle's electrical system, wiring, fuel supply system, or gas supply system without external ignition sources. 5. Standalone Glass Breakage Insurance: Covers the standalone breakage of glass. 6. Scratch Insurance: Covers losses caused by intentional scratching of the vehicle.

I have some thoughts on buying car insurance. As someone who has been driving for several years, I believe it's important to choose based on your own needs. The most basic is compulsory insurance, which is legally required with no choice—low coverage but protects against paying others. In commercial insurance, I recommend getting third-party liability coverage of at least 1 million yuan, so you can afford compensation if you hit a car or person. Vehicle damage insurance is also a must, as repairs can be expensive if you damage your own car—not having it would hurt. Adding a no-deductible insurance can save you from paying out-of-pocket costs unnecessarily. If you often drive on rough roads or have a new car, glass insurance is also worth considering. In short, don’t just go for the cheapest option with only compulsory insurance—you’ll regret it if an accident happens. Regularly check if your policy coverage is sufficient, ask friends for company recommendations, and spending a little extra for peace of mind is key.

What does 1.5L mean?

L stands for a naturally aspirated engine, and 1.5L represents a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. T stands for a turbocharged engine, and 1.5T indicates a turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. The volume of space through which the piston moves from top dead center to bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement, usually expressed in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, as it more accurately represents the size of the engine than the bore and number of cylinders. Many performance indicators of the engine are closely related to displacement. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy (converting chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy) per unit time, resulting in better power performance. Differences between 1.5L and 1.5T: Engine type: 1.5T is a turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters; 1.5L is a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. Power output: For vehicles with the same displacement, the power of a turbocharged engine is 1.3 times that of a naturally aspirated engine. Working principle: The 1.5T engine generates exhaust gases during operation, which drive the turbine, increasing the amount of air intake and making combustion in the cylinders more efficient. This reduces fuel consumption and enhances vehicle horsepower. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine primarily relies on the downward movement of the piston for power, resulting in smoother power delivery and more direct response.
