Blue Whale engine is a Chinese technology. The Blue Whale engine is independently developed by Changan, with a maximum power of 233 horsepower (171kw) and a maximum torque of 360 Nm. In addition to its powerful performance, it also demonstrates low fuel consumption. Currently, the Blue Whale engine is only available in a 2.0L displacement and is applied in Changan's high-end SUV CS95. Therefore, the technology of the Blue Whale engine has not yet been popularized in 1.0t or 1.5t engines. The technical highlight of the Blue Whale engine is that it can deliver over 85% of its maximum torque at 1500 rpm. The high tumble combustion technology ensures more complete fuel combustion, resulting in higher fuel economy.

I've been closely following automotive technology, and the Blue Whale engine is entirely a product of China's independent R&D, originating from Changan Automobile. As a homegrown brand, its strength lies in high efficiency and energy conservation, with a thermal efficiency exceeding 40%, which is quite impressive in the gasoline vehicle sector, significantly saving fuel and reducing pollution. I've driven the CS75 PLUS equipped with the Blue Whale engine—it's powerful and smooth, without the vibration issues that used to plague domestic engines. This showcases the progress of China's automotive industry, evolving from imitation to innovation. The Changan team spent several years overcoming technical challenges, utilizing domestic supply chains to reduce costs, and user feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. With great potential for the future, it may incorporate hybrid technology to enhance global competitiveness. 'Made in China' is no longer just a slogan; the Blue Whale engine is solid proof, making me proud of the nation's technological rise. It's safe and reliable, providing peace of mind for daily use.

Where is the electric seat control module located in the Tiguan?

Under the driver's seat, the seat needs to be removed. Below is relevant information about electric seats: 1. Working principle: Electric seat adjustment can be understood as completing adjustment actions through motors controlled by buttons and other methods. The directional adjustment of the seat is based on three adjustment mechanisms: the seat recliner, seat rail, and seat lift mechanism. Each mechanism can provide adjustments in two or more directions. The more adjustment directions a seat has, the better the driver can find a suitable driving posture and reduce driving fatigue. 2. Function: To provide the driver and passengers with an easy-to-operate, comfortable, and safe driving position.

What are the reasons why the Xuan Yi one-button start brake cannot be pressed and fails to start?

Here are the reasons why the Xuan Yi one-button start brake cannot be pressed and fails to start: 1. No fuel in the car: Basic common sense, the car will definitely not start if there is no fuel. 2. Battery failure: If the car battery is dead or faulty, it will naturally fail to start. 3. Spark plug issue: The spark plug is a key component in the car's ignition system, so whether the spark plug can function properly affects the vehicle's performance and efficiency. 4. Excessive carbon buildup: Too much carbon buildup in the vehicle can also prevent it from starting, requiring regular cleaning of carbon deposits at the service center.

What Causes the Brake Pedal to Be Hard to Press in New Energy Vehicles?

Here are the possible reasons why the brake pedal in new energy vehicles is hard to press: 1. Vacuum booster issue: The vacuum booster pump may be leaking or malfunctioning. It's important to note that the force applied to the brake pedal is amplified by the brake booster pump. If it fails, the brake loses its power assistance, making it difficult to press. 2. Brake booster pump problem: Pressing the brake pedal after the engine is turned off is also related to the brake booster pump. The brake booster pump continuously generates vacuum only when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies on the residual vacuum stored earlier, which typically depletes after a few presses. However, this condition is restored after the engine is started and is not considered a malfunction.

What are the reasons for the Citroen C-Quatre's starter motor not responding?

Here are the reasons why the Citroen C-Quatre's starter motor may not respond: 1. Carbon deposit factors: This is mainly caused by excessive carbon deposits in the idle speed motor, intake tract, intake valve, and combustion chamber. When there is too much carbon deposit or dirt in the intake tract, the cross-sectional area of the air passage changes, resulting in an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture. This can lead to abnormal combustion or engine shaking after starting, or even failure to start. 2. Fuel injector failure: If the fuel injector has issues such as leakage or excessive carbon deposits, it can cause a lean air-fuel mixture during startup, making it difficult to start. Additionally, a faulty carbon canister or carbon canister solenoid valve can also lead to difficulty in starting.

What Causes Window Fogging?

Window fogging in winter and summer is caused by significant temperature differences or humidity variations between the interior and exterior environments. Defogging methods: 1. Manual air conditioning: For vehicles equipped with manual air conditioning, you can activate the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the A/C switch, and adjust the temperature to the lowest setting to dry the fog on the windows. 2. Automatic air conditioning: For vehicles with automatic air conditioning, simply pressing the one-touch defrost button will quickly eliminate the fog. If the ambient temperature is too cold for cold air, you can also use the heater by setting the fan speed to maximum and activating the front window defogging mode, which will clear the fog within minutes. 3. Electric heating: Most rear windows come with electric heating. You can directly turn on the rear window and mirror heating functions to quickly remove fog and prevent it from recurring.
