Here are the reasons why the car can't accelerate beyond 60 mph: 1. Insufficient engine RPM: The gear is too high, causing drag and lack of power. It is recommended to shift gears above 2500 RPM. 2. Just going uphill: The car is either going uphill or carrying too much weight, making it difficult for the engine to accelerate. 3. Low-speed engine: The engine is a low-speed type, with limited torque and horsepower at high RPMs. 4. Untimely gear shifting: For example, using only 3rd gear to reach 60 mph makes it naturally hard to accelerate further. This can also be caused by faults in the fuel supply system, failure to control fuel pressure or ignition timing as required, or issues with spark plugs and high-voltage wires. Since the condition of spark plugs and high-voltage wires is essential for increasing speed, they should be checked regularly to ensure normal acceleration. Extra attention should be paid to fuel pressure and injection volume, and they should be used properly to prevent acceleration issues.

Why does the Baojun 730 have extremely loud engine noise when driving at 100 km/h?

Possible reasons for extremely loud engine noise include: Engine mount rubber aging or loosening: The engine mount rubber refers to the rubber blocks placed between the engine and the vehicle frame. Its functions are: To reduce vibration and provide cushioning during engine operation, as well as to secure the engine in place. If the engine mount rubber becomes aged or loose, the engine will start to vibrate, and the faster the speed, the louder the vibration noise will be. Solution: Tighten or replace the engine mount rubber. Improper engine oil usage: If the viscosity of the engine oil does not match the engine, it can easily lead to carbon buildup, causing the engine noise to increase. If the oil viscosity is too low, it can result in insufficient lubrication, leading to wear and abnormal noise in engine components. If the oil viscosity is too high, it can cause excessive engine load, also resulting in noise. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not functioning properly. Common symptoms include: Noticeable intermittent exhaust gas flow from the vehicle, along with severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and a clear "popping" or thumping sound from the engine. Solution: Inspect the condition of each ignition coil and the spark plugs in the cylinders.

What is the difference between Jetta and Volkswagen?

Jetta brand models are more like "budget versions of Volkswagen." Comparing Jetta models, which rely on Volkswagen's three core components as their main selling points, with their corresponding Volkswagen counterparts, it can only be said that they share a close lineage but are by no means sibling models. For example: the upcoming Jetta VS7 and the Volkswagen Tayron both originate from the MQB A2 platform and are positioned as mid-size SUVs. However, in terms of interior materials, design, and configurations, the Jetta VS7 is noticeably inferior to the Tayron. In terms of power, the Jetta VS7 only uses the entry-level 1.4T engine from the Tayron, primarily to reduce production costs and thereby widen the gap with Volkswagen models.

With a full tank of fuel and a full charge, the hybrid mode delivers very low fuel consumption, and the overall range performance is quite impressive. Introduction to Green License Plates: New energy vehicle license plates are primarily green, divided into small and large new energy vehicle-specific plates, measuring 48cm × 14cm. The number of digits has increased from 5 to 6. Small new energy vehicle-specific plates are gradient green, with the first digit being the letter D or F. Large new energy vehicle-specific plates are a combination of yellow and green, with the sixth digit being the letter D or F. Here, D represents pure electric new energy vehicles, while F represents non-pure electric new energy vehicles. Vehicles eligible for green license plates include pure electric vehicles (exempt from tail number restrictions), plug-in hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles (subject to the same tail number restrictions as fuel-powered and hybrid vehicles).
