Lotus entered the Chinese market in 2011, but due to low brand recognition and poor practicality of its models, this has resulted in Lotus cars being sold cheaply yet still not attracting buyers. Since new cars are sold at low prices, naturally, second-hand cars will only be cheaper. Additional Information: 1. Models: Currently, the only Lotus model available in China is the Evora. The Evora is a two-door, two-seater sports car equipped with a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine, delivering 410 N•m of torque and 405 horsepower, with a top speed of 280 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.1 seconds. 2. Practicality Issues: Lotus does not prioritize practicality. Taking the Evora as an example, the entire car, from its powertrain to the design and tuning of its chassis, is entirely based on track standards.

What is the purpose of the line on the rearview mirror?

The line on the rearview mirror is used to identify distance and position. Dual-curvature rearview mirrors are now a popular standard feature in new cars, functioning similarly to the small round mirrors that were previously attached to car rearview mirrors. The outer part has a large reflection angle, allowing for a view of more distant areas, while the inner part has a smaller angle, making it easier to identify distance and position. Design principle of the rearview mirror line: There is a black dotted line at the outer third of the rearview mirror serving as a boundary. The right side is a flat mirror, and the left side is a convex mirror. This design can double the field of view while maintaining minimal distortion and eliminate blind spots during turns, enabling the driver to see a panoramic view behind the car.

What does parallel import of cars mean?

Parallel import of cars refers to vehicles that are directly imported from the product's country of origin by importers other than the general distributor. The import channel runs parallel to the nationally authorized distribution channel, and these vehicles are purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from the brand manufacturer. Legitimate parallel import car dealers must provide consumers with several documents: 1. Certificate of Imported Goods; 2. Vehicle Inspection Sheet; 3. Vehicle Conformity Certificate; 4. Vehicle Purchase Invoice; 5. Electronic Information of Imported Vehicles. This document is mainly used for the owner to pay the vehicle purchase tax, but currently, only some provinces require the presentation of the electronic information sheet during vehicle registration. Consumers can request it as needed.

Replacement Interval for Touran Spark Plugs?

The replacement interval for Touran spark plugs is 25,000 kilometers or 18 months. Below are precautions for replacing Touran spark plugs: Avoid prolonged carbon buildup neglect: During usage, normal carbon deposits will form on the electrodes and skirt insulator of spark plugs. If these deposits are not cleaned over time, they will accumulate excessively, eventually leading to electrode leakage or even failure to spark. Therefore, carbon deposits should be cleaned regularly, not only when the spark plugs stop functioning. Avoid prolonged usage: There are various models of spark plugs, each with its own economic lifespan. Continuing to use spark plugs beyond this lifespan can negatively impact engine performance and fuel efficiency. Research indicates that prolonged use causes the central electrode tip to become rounded and the side electrode to develop a concave shape, increasing the electrode gap and making discharge difficult, which affects normal engine operation. Avoid improper cleaning: When applying silver spray or performing other engine maintenance, neglecting the cleanliness of the spark plug exterior can lead to leakage due to dirt. For cleaning, avoid using sandpaper or metal scrapers for convenience, as these can damage the ceramic body. Instead, soak the spark plugs in gasoline and clean them with a brush to ensure the ceramic exterior remains undamaged.
