The air intake of the Mercedes-Benz GLC is located on the front bumper grille, which is a flat-shaped air vent. Definition of air intake: An air intake is an opening of an air duct or similar structure that utilizes the forward motion of the aircraft to collect air and direct it into the engine or ventilator. The Mach number at the compressor inlet of a turbojet engine is about 0.4, and there are strict restrictions on the non-uniformity of the flow field. Installation position of the air intake: Most vehicles' external circulation air intakes are equipped with air filtration devices, such as pollen filters or dust filters, while most internal circulation systems do not have air filtration devices. Function of the air intake: It can control the temperature inside the cabin, both heating and cooling the air to maintain a comfortable level. Additionally, the air intake can draw in fresh air, providing ventilation.

As a Mercedes-Benz GLC owner who enjoys studying my car, I've personally checked the air intake location. It's positioned slightly to the left below the front grille, and when you open the hood, you can see a black pipe connected to the air filter - not particularly hidden. I noticed this because once while driving, I heard increased engine noise and discovered the intake was blocked by leaves and debris; cleaning it fixed the issue immediately. The placement is quite logical - positioned near the front to efficiently draw fresh air, though it tends to collect dust in summer, requiring occasional soft-bristle brushing. Remember to prevent small animals from entering as it may cause driving issues, and prolonged neglect could impair engine performance. I've developed a habit of cleaning it every three months, which saves considerable trouble.

What are the differences between the 11th generation Civic and the 10th generation?

The 11th generation Civic and the 10th generation have the following differences: Exterior styling: Compared to the current 10th generation Civic, the 11th generation Civic appears much more understated with the support of a new design language. The reason for this visual difference is that the line design of the front face has become more restrained, making the vehicle look more family-oriented, and the previous model's 'sharpness' has noticeably faded. Additionally, the headlight cluster is now integrated with the front grille, which enhances the visual width but also reduces some of its individuality, adding more of a family feel. Dimensions: The 11th generation Civic measures 4674/1802/1415mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2735mm. Compared to the 10th generation Civic, the length has increased by 157mm, the width by 3mm, the height has decreased by 19mm, and the wheelbase has increased by 35mm. Therefore, in terms of being a family sedan, the 11th generation Civic should be more qualified.
