Here are the specific reasons for the discontinuation of the Volvo V40: 1. The Volvo V40 is a compact hatchback. Although hatchbacks have advantages such as being lightweight, convenient, flexible to use, easy to park, and economical, Chinese consumers generally consider hatchbacks to be less grand, with a short and disproportionate body shape that does not align with mainstream Chinese aesthetics. The passenger space and trunk are integrated in hatchbacks, and the trunk space is usually relatively small. 2. The discontinuation of the Volvo V40 is also related to its product competitiveness. The Volvo V40 released updated models every year, but the updates showed almost no changes in appearance.

How to View Recordings from a Dash Cam?

Is Break-in Period Necessary for New Cars?

New cars must undergo a break-in period. Below are relevant materials about the break-in period for new cars: 1. A newly purchased car requires a break-in period. The quality of the break-in will significantly impact the vehicle's lifespan, safety, and fuel efficiency. 2. The most critical aspect during the break-in period is limiting the engine's RPM. Excessive RPM during this period increases the risk of damaging the piston rings. 3. The break-in period is divided into three stages: initial, middle, and final: 1. Initial stage: Generally, the maximum speed should be controlled around 40km/h. 2. Middle stage: Under good road conditions, the maximum speed can be increased to 60km/h. 3. Final stage: The speed can then be raised to approximately 80km/h. Maintain moderate speeds during the break-in period—neither too high nor too low, as excessively low speeds will increase fuel consumption.
