Add coolant or replace it? Common sense of car maintenance makes you no longer troubled!

In the daily maintenance of automobiles, coolant is an easily overlooked but vital part. Many car owners may be confused when they encounter a lack of coolant: should the coolant be added directly or should it be completely replaced? And when you find that the coolant is different in color, can you mix it casually? Let’s talk about these common problems today, so that you can have a more comprehensive understanding of automobile coolant.

Function of coolant

First, let’s talk about the function of coolant. When the engine is working, the temperature will rise rapidly. If there is no effective circulation of coolant, the engine will be damaged due to overheating. Coolant can not only prevent the engine from overheating, but also prevent the water tank from freezing and corrosion, and ensure the normal operation of your car in various extreme environments.

Coolant is low, should I change it or add it?

If you find that the coolant is low when checking the liquid level, don’t panic at first. Judging whether to add or change depends mainly on the state and use of coolant.

1. Check the state of coolant.

-Color and clarity: Healthy cooling fluids are usually bright colors (such as green, orange, red, etc.) and transparent. If the coolant becomes turbid or dark in color, it may have been polluted or lost its effect, and it is recommended to replace it at this time.

-Smell: If the coolant gives off a strong sweet or burnt smell, it should be alarmed, which may be a sign of leakage or aging, and should be checked and replaced as soon as possible.

2. Service life

Most car manufacturers would recommend changing the coolant every two to three years, even if it looks good. If the coolant exceeds the recommended service life, it is still recommended to replace it to avoid potential problems.

3. Is there a leak?

If the coolant level keeps dropping, check for leaks. This includes pumps, radiators, connecting pipes, etc. If water leakage is found, not only coolant should be added, but also the leakage point should be repaired to ensure the integrity of the system.

Step 4 add coolant

If there is only a temporary shortage of some coolant and it is in good condition, it is ok to add an appropriate amount of coolant. In this process, please pay attention to the following points:

-Use the same type of coolant, such as organic acid type or traditional type, and different types cannot be mixed.

-Before adding liquid, it is best to wait for the engine to cool before operating, so as to avoid scalding.

Can different colors of coolant be mixed?

This is the most common problem encountered by many car owners. Coolant generally has different colors, such as green, orange, pink, etc. These colors are mainly derived from different additives and formulas.

1. Different types of coolant

-organic coolant (generally green): suitable for most traditional vehicles and providing basic protection.

-Organic acid coolant (usually red or orange): long service life and strong protection, suitable for modern vehicles.

-Mixed coolant: It combines inorganic and organic components and has the advantages of both.

2. The risk of mixing

There is a certain risk in mixing different colors of coolant. This is mainly because the chemical components of different formulations may react to produce precipitates, which will lead to the blockage of the cooling system and even damage to the engine. Therefore, try to avoid mixing different colors of coolant.

How to choose the right coolant?

When selecting coolant, it is recommended to purchase it according to the requirements of the automobile manual to ensure that the coolant used meets the standards specified by the manufacturer. Generally speaking, a good coolant can not only lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point, but also effectively prevent rust and corrosion.

In automobile maintenance, although the coolant is small, it is related to the safety of the owner and the health of the car. Check the state of coolant regularly, add or replace it in time to ensure the normal operation of the cooling system, so as to make your car drive longer and safer. Coolants of different colors should not be mixed to avoid unnecessary trouble to the cooling system. I hope today’s sharing can help all car owners, and I wish you safe driving and bon voyage!

The Lantu brand welcomes a historic moment again! The two-car launch ceremony of Lantu’s first global model ended successfully

Four years after the official launch of the Lantu brand, today it once again ushered in a historic moment. The launch ceremony of Lantu’s first global model with two cars was grandly held at the Dongfeng Yunfeng factory. As a user-oriented technology enterprise, Lantu Automobile insists on innovation-driven, and quickly launches advanced new energy products of different levels, different body types and different power systems for different market segments, fully meeting the diverse travel needs of users, and unswervingly following the development path of China’s independent high-end smart new energy vehicle brand.

Safer and more predictable, driving with passion B + class benchmark Asian dragon undisputed

  At present, the total mileage of expressways in our country has already ranked first in the world, and the high-speed network extending in all directions is all over the country. Everyone is more willing to choose convenient and fast expressways when driving out. But at the same time, the traffic flow of expressways is increasing, the latent risk of traffic accidents is also gradually increasing, and safe driving is becoming more and more important.

Safer and more predictable, driving with passion B + class benchmark Asian dragon undisputed

  Driving on the highway, the safety and driving performance of the vehicle itself are two important factors that affect safety. The former is not difficult to understand, while the latter is to shorten the time for parallel overtaking or quickly avoid the surrounding large vehicles, which will also be safer. In these two aspects, FAW Toyota’s flagship car, the Asian Dragon, can be said to be the leader in the B-class market. If everyone pays attention to safety and driving, and has the intention to buy a car in the near future, then the Asian Dragon can focus on it.

  Endorsed by the authority of two major institutions, the strong security of the Asian Dragon is impeccable

Safer and more predictable, driving with passion B + class benchmark Asian dragon undisputed

  The Asian Dragon is a "LARGE CAR" born in the US market. It can be understood as a mid-to-high-end or B + class car. Compared with Camry, Accord, Teana, Passat, etc., it is larger in size and higher in level. In 2018, the fifth-generation Asian Dragon based on the TNGA architecture was first launched in the United States and won the highest safety rating "TOP SAFETY PICK +" in IIHS (American Highway Safety Insurance Association). In 2019, the Asian Dragon officially entered the Chinese market and received a total of 3 "G" (excellent) evaluations in C-IASI (China Insurance Auto Safety Index) for occupants, laypeople, and assisted driving. With the excellent results of the two authoritative collision agencies in the United States and China as an endorsement, the safety of the Asian Dragon is really impeccable.

Safer and more predictable, driving with passion B + class benchmark Asian dragon undisputed

  Such outstanding results cannot be separated from the Asian Dragon’s unsparing efforts in active and passive safety. Empowered by the TNGA architecture, the Asian Dragon’s body structure rigidity is further enhanced, and high-strength materials and hot-pressed materials are used to make the body both strong and flexible. With the continuously upgraded and evolved GOA body, it can effectively absorb collision energy in the event of a collision and disperse it to the skeleton of various parts of the body, which can effectively reduce the degree of deformation of the cab and protect the cockpit space.

  In addition, the entire Asian Dragon series comes standard with 10 SRS air bags, which are unparalleled in the same-level market and even in the leapfrog market. This also fundamentally guarantees that the Asian Dragon can provide adequate protection to the driver in the face of external forces in all directions.

Safer and more predictable, driving with passion B + class benchmark Asian dragon undisputed

  In the active safety configuration, the Asian Dragon series is standard with Toyota Safety Sense Smart Travel Safety (Toyota collision avoidance assistance package), which integrates PCS pre-collision safety system (with forward pedestrian identification, etc.), DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system (with full speed domain following function), LTA lane tracking assistance system (with following function) and AHB automatic adjustment high beam system. It can not only identify vehicles, but also pedestrians, reduce the probability of accidents, and reduce collision injuries. Among competing models, most of them are still divided into high and low prices. So for consumers, whether they buy 199,800 entry-level models or 279,800 flagship models, they can enjoy a trustworthy safety guarantee, which is not easy to find in other competing models.

  Strong power, low fuel consumption, smoother, ultra-quiet, Asian dragon is proficient in everything

  In terms of driving performance, the Asian Dragon also lives up to its reputation as a flagship, providing consumers with three different specifications of power systems: 2.0L gasoline, 2.5L gasoline, and 2.5L dual-engine, which not only meet everyone’s individual needs, but also any one of the powertrains.

Safer and more predictable, driving with passion B + class benchmark Asian dragon undisputed

  Taking 2.5L dual engine power as an example, it is behind Toyota’s new generation of hybrid technology, with 2.5L hot topic efficiency naturally aspirated engine + dual motor as the foundation, through the excellent performance of the E-CVT gearbox, to achieve a strong and efficient "dual engine" drive, WLTC conditions under 100 kilometers of comprehensive fuel consumption is only 4.71L, according to the current Beijing area 92 gasoline 8.54 yuan/L calculation, the fuel cost per kilometer is 0.4 yuan.

Safer and more predictable, driving with passion B + class benchmark Asian dragon undisputed

  The most gratifying thing is that Toyota’s hybrid technology, in addition to excellent fuel economy, also takes into account strong power and smooth and quiet. During rapid acceleration, the motor can work together with the engine to improve the power output of the whole vehicle. The Asian Dragon 2.5L dual-engine version has a maximum power of 160kW in its power system, which is comparable to the mainstream 2.0T turbocharged engine, but the fuel consumption is almost half of that, which effectively reflects "spending less money and doing big things". Driving on the highway, if you step deeply on the accelerator, you can feel the surging power, which brings great confidence to the driver. In addition, thanks to the continuous optimization of power control technology, the oil-electric connection and switching are smoother and more comfortable, making the driving experience of the whole vehicle more upscale.

  Since the launch of the first generation Prius in 1997, Toyota’s hybrid technology has been developed for 25 years and has achieved excellent results in miniaturization, lightweight, efficiency and low cost. By February this year, the global cumulative sales of Toyota and Lexus brand electrified models (HEV + PHEV + EV + FCV) have exceeded 20 million units, which is the undisputed global hegemon. This is also the biggest confidence for people to trust and choose Toyota Hybrid.

  Excellent safety and drivability, compared with design and configuration, is a perfect expression of the deeper "internal strength" of a model, and this is also the "moat" of the Asian Dragon and even the FAW Toyota brand based on the market, which reflects FAW Toyota’s more pragmatic attitude and meets everyone’s demands for purchasing high-level cars. In the price range of 20-300,000, the Asian Dragon deserves the title of "B + benchmark".

New appearance + through-type central control screen, new Lincoln Navigator official picture released

Lincoln released a new official breakthrough, as Lincoln’s full-size SUV, after several years of silence, it finally updated the car series. The new 2025 Navigator has significant changes in the appearance and interior, especially the upgrade of the interior, which improves the multimedia level while also taking into account the sense of luxury.

The changes in appearance are also worth paying attention to. The new generation of Lincoln Navigator has the latest family-style design, the size of the middle net is still quite huge, and the internal details are like stars, giving a more majestic momentum. The logo uses through details, and the long strip is just combined with the shape of the logo. The headlights are also brand new, but not particularly innovative, you can find similar designs on it.

The side can actually bring some different looks, this kind of full-size SUV basically does not have any novel proportions, after all, passenger space is also an important indicator. The significantly changed tail brings more layered lines to the navigator, the new wheel design is also quite feeling, and the size has also come to a very exaggerated 24 inches.

The tail may be a more controversial part in the future, with a clear sense of separation from the front face design. The original vigorous tail suddenly transformed into a sports technology style. This style is still good in isolation, but it does not seem to match the tonality of the whole vehicle.

The interior is a big plus. If the old car series still has some tradition and antiquity, then the new model reflects the understanding of technological luxury. In the optimization of multimedia, it is not simple to increase the screen size rudely, but to integrate into the front of the center console. The screen size through the center console is good, and there is no feeling of overwhelming the guests. With a large center console, it is quite yacht-like.

The shift mechanism has become push-button, and the physical buttons of the center console are simplified, using a touch screen instead. The advantage of this is of course that it looks cooler, but whether it is easy to use is still unknown, and it is foreseeable that it will increase the difficulty of cleaning a lot.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about the rear space, and the space utilization is not required on this size model. All 6 passengers have enough spacious space, as well as luxurious and comfortable seats.

In terms of power, 3.5T is still used, and the domestic version has a maximum power of 415 horsepower and a peak torque of 670N · m. It is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and comes standard with a four-wheel drive system.

summary

As a model that is not too worried about selling, the 2025 model is essentially a big overhaul. After all, the hardware has not changed at all, only the appearance and interior have been changed. But on the other hand, the upgrade of the Lincoln Navigator is still in place. Although the new appearance is still somewhat controversial, the interior part is up to date. Now the screen size and number of cylinders are the same as the number of cylinders in the past, which have become the criteria for judging vehicles. There is a high probability that the domestic side will be introduced simultaneously. As a rare "cost-effective" full-size SUV at present, the right displacement gives it a good price advantage. The price of more than a million is relatively reasonable, and I believe it can still maintain good sales.

Jaguar has decided to discontinue production of the legendary XJ sedan in June, clearing the way for an electric version

Farewell seems to have become the theme of the current car generation, whether the target is the family flagship or the new rich, they can’t escape the "sphere of influence" of "electrification".

JAGUAR XJ, the flagship sedan of the JAGUAR brand, has been carrying the elegance, luxury and warmth of the proud flying leopard on the hood since its birth in 1968. But after four generations of changes, this "old man" with good muscles and bones has finally been unable to withstand the fierce attack from the battery pack. On June 5 this year, the Bromwich Fort production line ushered in the final chapter of fate.

Since the XJ rolled off the production line in June 2009, Jaguar has produced 120,000 units. At the age of 10, the X351 is the oldest modern car on the UK market. Jaguar made mid-term changes to the X351 in terms of interior and onboard systems in 2015.

In 2018, Jaguar launched the X351 50th Anniversary Special Edition. At the same time, it specially introduced the X351 long-wheelbase version – XJL – to the Chinese market that loves large spaces in the car: it uses a 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine and can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds.

Even if the XJ is the spiritual totem of Jaguar, it still can’t resist the daily decline in market interest in this flagship sedan. In December 2018, the X351 sold only 301 units, while the SUV model F-Pace sold 4,492 units, the entry-level sedan XE sold 2,252 units, and even the sports car F-Type sold 492 units.

Jaguar is determined to define the internal combustion engine version of the XJ as a brand-new flagship pure electric sedan in the replacement due to the insight that the internal combustion engine version is slow to sell. The news has not been confirmed by Jaguar, but a spokesperson has revealed that "the XJ model name will be retained".

In Jaguar’s values, the XJ rivals the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. After the pure electric blessing, the replaced XJ will directly compete with the Porsche Taycan.

In a sense, this may be Jaguar’s last chance to turn around. Consumers are gradually losing their enthusiasm for the ancient brand. Given that the XJ is Jaguar’s oldest model – released more than a decade ago, a bold electrification strategy while updating the model may help Jaguar establish its new image. At the same time, a partnership with Tesla (possibly) can also help Jaguar, which is already financially stretched, save the cost of laying out charging facilities.

This statement is not groundless. Although Jaguar’s financial report last year was not impressive, the performance of the I-Pace electric vehicle released in April last year was very encouraging.

Since the car went on sale at the end of April 2018, a total of 6,893 vehicles have been sold worldwide. The highest monthly sales volume in December reached 2,230, accounting for 13.8% of Jaguar’s car sales in that month. At the same time, from the sales chart, the sales of the I-Pace continued to rise from April to November, with only a certain decrease in August, but sales in the following September-November increased significantly. This performance has to be said to be in sharp contrast to the relatively poor performance of Jaguar last year.

The XJ has always been a distinct personality among luxury brands in the same class, but unfortunately, due to the relatively outdated style, the distinctive features of the past have gradually faded over time. Through the good market performance of the I-Pace, Jaguar may realize that a significant move towards electrification may be a good direction. What kind of performance of pure electric Jaguar sedans can really be expected by consumers.

Hongqi EH7, fight luxury, fight price, fight battery life, fight technology, red flag is not afraid!

Since the advent of the electrification era, many new luxury car brands have been born in China. NIO, Ideal, Extreme Krypton, Avita, and Looking Up are all relatively luxurious new energy vehicle brands. However, as traditional luxury brands, there are very few blockbuster models in the electric vehicle market.

Hongqi EH7 is officially listed, the official guide price is 22.98~ 309,800 yuan. The new car also launched a number of rights and interests, including zero voltage four lifetime service plan, including lifetime free warranty, lifetime free maintenance, lifetime free rescue, and lifetime free car pickup and delivery. There is also 0 pressure to buy a car, 50% down payment, zero interest for two years. Replacement subsidy up to 20,000 yuan, free home charging pile. There is also 0 pressure appearance, free 3-year insurance, worth 14,500 yuan. Free public charging and electricity, 1500 degrees per year, worth 5850 yuan. Free traffic 240G per year, free membership.

If users pay a deposit before May 31, they can also upgrade to 42,000 yuan for free. So it seems that the new car purchase policy of Hongqi EH7 is still very generous.

Hongqi EH7 is the first model of Hongqi’s "new energy sub-brand", based on the new FMEs "flag" super architecture. Hongqi EH7 is positioned as a medium and large sedan, and may launch a battery-changing version and a long-range fast-charging version in the future, with a maximum battery life of up to 800km.

From the appearance, the Hongqi EH7 adopts a completely different design style from the era of fuel vehicles, and the front face adopts the latest family-style design style of Hongqi new energy vehicles, which is somewhat similar to the minimalist design of new power companies. The headlights are designed in a 7-shaped shape, and the light group also has rich lamp language functions. The lower grille at the bumper shows a smiling style, and the central axis design on the front is very brand-specific.

The side design of the body is smooth, and some are similar to the style of a sedan. Two-color body design is adopted. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4980/1915/1490mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3000mm. From the size point of view, it is similar to the size of the car, and it is positioned as a pure electric C-class car. The whole body pursues the riding space as much as possible, and adopts the design of short front and rear overhangs and long wheelbase. The design of the tail window with a large inclination is a bit similar to the style of a sedan. A face recognition camera is also provided on the A pillar.

The most flamboyant part of the rear of the car is its "radiant" taillights. The internal structure is relatively complicated, and the lighting effect at night is estimated to be impressive. The overall design is also relatively simple.

In terms of interior, the new car pays more attention to the creation of materials and the color scheme in the car. The new car is equipped with a 6-inch + 15.5-inch curved dual screen, and it is also equipped with an AR HUD head-up display system. It has a Snapdragon 8155 chip, which is a bold attempt of the red flag. The design of the central control screen is very bold. It is not the current mainstream rounded rectangle, but a special-shaped screen, which is unique among models of the same level. And the steering wheel is also quite personalized, the size is not large, and it looks more like a gamepad. In addition, the vehicle seats are designed in one piece, and the interior color scheme is bold, showing a young and sporty atmosphere as a whole. I don’t know if young users will like this style.

In terms of power, the maximum power of the new motor is 202 kW/253 kW. The car will provide a power-changing version and a long-range fast-charging version. The power-changing version has a battery life of 600km, while the long-range fast-charging version can reach 800km. The new car is equipped with front and rear dual motors, with a total power of 455kW, peak torque can be 756N · m, and 0-100km/h acceleration is only 3.9 seconds. The new car is also equipped with HAP precision automatic driving assistance system.

As a product of Hongqi, EH7 can be said to have poured a lot of effort into Hongqi, but the market environment facing Hongqi is still very harsh, not only old competitors such as BYD Han and JK 001, but also JK 007, these new competitors. So the pressure of Hongqi EH7 will not be small, especially when the new energy vehicles are so rolled in 2024, the performance of Hongqi EH7 is worth looking forward to.

Geely’s new flagship SUV, Xingyue L, is it really not a leather car?

Entering 2021, major automakers are competing to launch their own new cars, but the fastest is their own brands. Before the Tank 600 and Tank 900 were exposed one after another, becoming hot new cars on the Internet. A few days ago, Geely Automobile launched a new SUV code-named KX11, which immediately became the focus of discussion in the automotive industry. Recently, Geely Automobile announced the official name of the model – Xingyue L.

It is reported that Xingyue L is based on Geely’s CMA super matrix. The "L" in the name has the meaning of Larger (bigger), Luxury (luxury) and Liberate (subversion), which means the upgrade of body size, space, power and other aspects. According to the declaration information on the MIIT website, the size of Xingyue L is not much different from that of Geely’s previous medium-sized SUV Haoyue. According to Xingrui’s approach, Xingyue L was obviously born to subvert the joint venture compact SUV. After the later listing, it is estimated that it will also compete with the "high half-class" strategy and the joint venture compact SUV.

In the past year or two, the main design of domestic SUV models have come into the market, whether it is Changan’s UNI-T or Tank 300, etc., the presence of independent brands in the SUV market can be said to be getting stronger and stronger. And Geely, as the leading player in the independent brand, will naturally not fall behind. This time, Xingyue L, as a new SUV model, is based on the CMA platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo. This first distanced itself from Haoyue, because Haoyue came from Geely’s 7-seat car-specific platform – the CV platform.

Looking at Geely’s current model sequence, the current product system of Geely Automobile has formed a family of,, Bing, Bo, and Star series. Under each generation, there are car products and SUV products. For example, under the Bing generation, the car is, the SUV is, under the Bo generation, the car is, the SUV is, to the Star generation, the car is still named after Rui. According to this logic, the SUV products under the Star generation should be named after Yue. Since there is Xingyue, this new product is followed by Xingyue with the L suffix.

In terms of appearance, Xingyue L adopts Geely’s latest family-style design style. The large-sized straight waterfall air intake grille is similar to Xingrui, and the concave shape is quite Volvo-like. The headlights use a matrix LED light source, and with the upper and lower daytime running lights, it presents a three-stage headlight design.

On the side of the car body, the straight waistline gives him a very tough visual sense. The outline of the waistline and the design of the front and rear eyebrows, especially the through trend, are relatively slender visually, creating a strong sense of movement, making the three-dimensional sense of the side of the car more recognizable. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Geely Xingyue L are 4770 * 1895 * 1689mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2845mm.

In particular, the rear design is very solid, with several tough parallel lines creating a strong sense of hierarchy. At the same time, the through-type taillights are also highly recognizable.

The newly released interior official map shows that the new car adopts a dual-screen design of the central control screen and the co-pilot entertainment screen, and the whole shape is very avant-garde. At the same time, the center console adopts a dual-color design, plus neat stitches and materials, creating a sense of texture and luxury of the new car. This is different from other models currently owned by Geely. With such a high luxury configuration, it can be seen that Geely has given full attention to Geely Xingyue L.

Thanks to the CMA architecture adopted by Geely Xingyue L, it will be equipped with a Drive-E series 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 175kW and a peak torque of 350N · m. At the same time, it will also provide a low-power engine option with a maximum power of 149kW and a peak torque of 300N · m. To match it is an 8-speed automatic gearbox from Aisin. In terms of chassis, Geely Xingyue L adopts a suspension combination of front McPherson and rear multi-bar, and some models will also be equipped with a four-wheel drive system. It seems that Geely Xingyue L will have certain advantages in both power and handling.

On the other hand, Haoyue, which is still equipped with the 1.8T engine, with the cooperation of the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, is completely the economic orientation of the home, and the configuration of the front drive and rear torque beam of the whole system is also destined to have completely different personality orientations. Obviously, Geely Xingyue L has higher quality and higher positioning, and is expected to become the most expensive model under Geely.

So it seems that Geely Xingyue L not only has a breakthrough in appearance and styling, but also the luxury and technological configuration of the interior is unprecedented, and the CMA architecture has given him very excellent product strength. So as Geely’s new model, can Geely Xingyue L become a new disruptor in the SUV market? We will wait and see.
