I'm also considering these two cars recently, the KAMIQ GT and the Honda XR-V each have their own merits. It depends on your needs: the KAMIQ GT's entry-level configuration is quite practical, with significant discounts available—the top trim can be driven off the lot for less than 150,000 RMB, featuring amenities like a panoramic sunroof and rearview camera. The rear seats are quite spacious, and the German car's chassis feels solid when driving, though the 1.5L engine is a bit underpowered—sufficient for city commuting but struggles when overtaking on highways. The XR-V's 1.5T engine offers much stronger performance, and Honda's space design is truly remarkable—its magic seats can be folded down to accommodate large items with ease. However, the mid-to-low trims lack some detailed configurations like fabric seats compared to the KAMIQ, and the top trim is 20,000 to 30,000 RMB more expensive. After test driving both, I personally feel that if you prioritize power and resale value, go for the XR-V; if you're on a budget but want high-end configurations, choose the KAMIQ.

Having driven my friend's KAMIQ GT and the company's old XR-V, the difference in handling is quite noticeable. The KAMIQ's steering feels heavier, with excellent vibration absorption over speed bumps, but its acceleration is sluggish, especially when overtaking with the AC on—you really have to floor the throttle. The XR-V's throttle response is much quicker, and the Earth Dreams engine delivers a satisfying punch when revved to 4,000 RPM. It feels nimble during lane changes, though the cabin noise and wind roar are more pronounced. In terms of space, the XR-V's trunk is more practical—lower load floor and wider opening make it easy to fit my bike inside. Fuel consumption is similar: the KAMIQ averages around 8L/100km, while the turbocharged XR-V only drinks about 0.5L more. My take? Young drivers craving speed should go for the Honda, but if it's mainly for family commuting, the German ride refinement is more comfortable.

Can you drive over the white grid lines at intersections?

White grid lines on the road surface are channelizing lines and should not be driven over. According to regulations, channelizing lines mainly consist of one or several white V-shaped or diagonal stripe areas set up based on the intersection terrain, indicating that vehicles must follow the prescribed route and must not drive over or cross these lines. The following types of road lines should not be driven over: Yellow solid lines: Currently, domestic yellow solid lines come in two types—double yellow lines and single yellow lines—essentially serving as prohibition lines. They are generally used to separate opposing traffic. If a yellow solid line is in the middle of the road, whether it is a double or single yellow line, it should not be crossed. White solid lines: White solid lines are the most common road markings, used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, helping drivers stay on their designated paths. These lines appear on urban roads and intersections, standardizing driving routes and greatly improving travel safety. Yellow grid lines: The purpose of yellow grid lines is to prohibit parking. They are most commonly found at the entrances of government buildings. Vehicles must not park arbitrarily in areas marked with yellow grid lines, as doing so can obstruct traffic flow and hinder vehicles exiting the premises. These areas are strictly for passing through, not stopping. Channelizing lines: These are V-shaped or triangular areas set up at intersections based on actual road conditions, designed to help drivers accurately determine the direction for going straight or turning right, or to serve as waiting areas for pedestrians at traffic lights. Such markings are commonly found at highway ramps, multi-forked intersections, and complex large crossroads, playing a crucial role in guiding traffic.

Can a C1 driver's license be upgraded to an A2?

A C1 license cannot be directly upgraded to an A2. If you already hold a C1 driver's license, the fastest way to obtain an A2 license is to upgrade to a B1 or B2 license after holding the C1 license for at least one year. After obtaining the B1 or B2 license, you must have three years of driving experience before you can apply for an A2 license. Therefore, upgrading from a C1 to an A2 license requires at least four years. Alternatively, you can take the second method, which is to directly obtain a B2 license. After holding the B2 license for three years with driving experience, you can also upgrade to an A2 license. This method is faster, but it does not involve upgrading directly from a C1 license. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) of the People's Republic of China, the following conditions must be met for upgrading a driver's license: Article 14: If you already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and apply to add a permitted driving category, you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before the application. For applications to add medium-sized passenger vehicles, tractors, or large passenger vehicles, the following additional conditions apply: To apply for adding a medium-sized passenger vehicle category, you must have held a license for urban buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, or three-wheeled vehicles for at least three years and must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the most recent three consecutive scoring cycles before the application. To apply for adding a tractor category, you must have held a license for medium-sized passenger vehicles or large trucks for at least three years, or have held a license for large passenger vehicles for at least one year, and must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the most recent three consecutive scoring cycles before the application. To apply for adding a large passenger vehicle category, you must have held a license for medium-sized passenger vehicles, urban buses, or large trucks for at least five years, or have held a license for tractors for at least two years, and must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the most recent five consecutive scoring cycles before the application. In temporary residence areas, the permitted driving categories that can be added are small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. Article 15: Under any of the following circumstances, you may not apply for large passenger vehicles, tractors, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks: If you have caused a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility; If you have driven a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol; If your motor vehicle driver's license has been revoked or canceled for less than ten years. According to the "Permitted Driving Categories and Codes" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139) of the People's Republic of China: The A1 permitted driving category is for large passenger vehicles, which includes large passenger-carrying vehicles, and also permits driving A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M categories. According to the "Permitted Driving Categories and Codes" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139) of the People's Republic of China: The A2 permitted driving category is for tractors, which includes heavy and medium-sized full trailers and semi-trailer combinations, and also permits driving B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M categories.

Can ETC be installed without mounting it on the windshield?

ETC does not have to be installed on the windshield; it can also be mounted on the dashboard below the windshield as long as it does not obstruct the driver's view, interfere with ETC signal reception, can charge via sunlight, and the small button on the back does not pop up. However, to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that car owners install it on the front windshield. The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to establish wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle recognition and the exchange of relevant toll data. Therefore, during installation, the sensing area must not be blocked to avoid signal reception failure.

Where is the battery jump-start location for a BMW 320?

BMW 320's positive terminal is located near the right front suspension strut tower, covered by a red cap. Removing this cap reveals the terminal post. The negative terminal is situated behind the right front headlight, where you'll find a metal post designated for jump-starting. Below is relevant information about the BMW 320 battery: 1. While the BMW 320 battery is installed in the trunk, the engine compartment still features designed positive and negative terminals for jump-starting purposes. 2. Many luxury vehicles position their batteries in the trunk to achieve better front-rear weight distribution and to protect the battery from the engine compartment's high temperatures, which can significantly reduce battery lifespan when exposed for prolonged periods.
