Poor sales led to its discontinuation. The reasons for poor sales are as follows: 1. Exterior Design: The WEY P8 overly emphasized streamlined curves, which squeezed the interior space and deterred many potential buyers. 2. Average Configuration: Its configuration was also quite average. As the first hybrid model from Great Wall, the company lacked experience in this area. With a 12.96kWh battery capacity and unimpressive fuel efficiency, many owners who spent a hefty sum on the new car felt deceived. 3. High Pricing: The WEY brand still relies on the strength of Great Wall Motors. In terms of brand influence, Great Wall's reputation isn't strong enough to justify such a high price point.

What is the Scrap Period for Passenger Cars?

For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide them to be scrapped. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Commercial vehicles have scrap period limits, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrap period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrap period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrap period of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrap period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrap period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrap period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrap period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap period, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection office that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrap period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

How to Quickly Solve Fogging on Car Windows in Rainy Days?

When the car windows fog up on rainy days, you can turn on the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the A/C switch, and adjust the air conditioning temperature to the lowest setting. Here are the ways to deal with foggy car glass on rainy days: 1. Spray the defogging agent evenly on the glass surface and wipe it clean with a dry towel. Principle: Using the method of surfactants, a protective film is left on the glass surface, changing the surface tension of water molecules, causing fog droplets to condense into large water droplets, thus not obstructing the view. 2. Turn on the car's defroster. Principle: Use dry, cold air from inside the car to blow against the front windshield, making the temperature inside and outside the car glass uniform, forming a dry gas barrier, thereby preventing condensation of humid air inside the car and avoiding fogging. 3. Open the window to let the wind clear the fog. Principle: Lowering the temperature inside the car makes it harder for moisture to condense.

What are the body dimensions of the Bentley Bentayga?

The Bentley Bentayga has a length, width, and height of 5125/1998/1728 mm, which are official data. The length of the Bentley Bentayga refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The Bentley Bentayga's engine has a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. The Bentley Bentayga is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engine, which features direct fuel injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The electric motor paired with this engine has a maximum power of 94 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The vehicle uses an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT), providing smoother shifting and better reliability and durability. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5 meters to meet the requirements of public road usage.

How to Turn Off a Keyless Automatic Transmission Car?

Keyless automatic transmission refers to an automatic transmission with a one-button start. The steps to turn off the engine are as follows: 1. First, press the brake to stop the car, then shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), and engage the mechanical handbrake or electronic handbrake. 2. Press the brake again, then shift the gear from N (Neutral) to P (Park). 3. Finally, release the foot brake and press the one-button start button to turn off the engine. Additional details are as follows: 1. Turning off the engine without shifting to P (Park) will not harm the car. You can park the car in N (Neutral) or P (Park). P (Park) is designed based on N (Neutral) specifically for parking. For example, when waiting at a traffic light on a flat road for a long time, you can shift to N (Neutral) and engage the handbrake. If parking on a slope, to prevent the car from rolling, shift to P (Park) and also engage the handbrake. 2. In terms of safety design, an automatic transmission car will not turn off in D (Drive) unless there is an engine system failure. If the car has an automatic start-stop function, it is normal for the engine to turn off automatically in D (Drive). However, when the accelerator is pressed, the car system will complete operations such as background startup, allowing the car to continue driving.

Is Engine Oil the Same as Gear Oil?

Gear oil is not engine oil. Gear oil, also known as transmission oil, is used in automotive transmissions. It is primarily composed of petroleum-based lubricating oil or synthetic lubricating oil, blended with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents to form a transmission lubricant. It is used to lubricate various gears in transmissions, reducers, and differentials to prevent gear surface wear, scuffing, sintering, etc., thereby extending service life and improving power transmission efficiency. Below is relevant information about engine oil: Engine oil is used in automotive engines and is a type of engine lubricant composed of base oil and additives. Depending on the base oil, it is classified into semi-synthetic oil, fully synthetic oil, and mineral oil. Inside the engine, it performs functions such as cleaning, lubricating, and cooling components. It operates in high-temperature and high-pressure environments for extended periods, requiring high oxidation resistance and stronger shear resistance.
