Heat is the number one enemy of any automatic transmission. When a vehicle is pushed beyond its design limits—specifically during heavy towing or carrying maximum payloads—the transmission works significantly harder. This extra work generates friction, which in turn generates intense heat. If the temperature of the transmission fluid rises above its optimal operating range, it...

When shopping for a new SUV or sedan, the 540° panoramic camera is often offered as part of a premium tech package. But is it worth the extra money if the car already has a 360° view? To answer this, one must look at the cost of potential repairs. A single encounter with a high curb can cost hundreds of dollars in wheel repairs. Hitting a hidden stump or a large rock while off-roading...

Daily driving is where EVs’ CO2 savings become most tangible. The average gas car emits ~250 grams of CO2 per mile, while an EV charged on a mixed grid emits ~100 grams—saving 150 grams per mile. For a typical driver logging 12,000 miles yearly, that’s 1.8 metric tons of CO2 saved annually—equivalent to planting 20 trees. In regions with clean grids, savings jump to 2.5...

When picking a 2025 family-friendly SUV, don’t get distracted by flashy specs; focus on three core factors. First, practical space: Compact SUVs (wheelbase 2650–2750mm) suit most 5-person families, offering easy parking and ample rear legroom. For larger families, midsize SUVs (over 2750mm wheelbase) work, but check parking convenience. Prioritize flat rear floors and trunks...

Comfort is non-negotiable for commutes over an hour—daily drives can quickly become exhausting without it. Look for seats with ample cushioning and lumbar support to prevent back pain from prolonged sitting; heated and vented seats are a bonus for extreme temperatures. Noise control matters too: test the car at 80–120km/h and in traffic—double-paned windows or active noise...

The age-old debate "SUV or sedan—who’s safer?" persists, but 2025’s automotive landscape proves safety hinges on design, not just size. The KAIYI E5 challenges the myth that SUVs are inherently safer, showcasing how a sedan can excel in both active avoidance and passive protection.   SUVs may benefit from heavy bodies in crashes, but their high center of gravity raises...

Dirty or loose battery terminals are a common yet overlooked cause of winter battery issues. Corrosion buildup acts as an insulator, blocking power flow and making the battery work harder—wasting energy that’s already scarce in cold weather. Loose connections can also lead to intermittent power loss or failure to start. Cleaning terminals is simple and effective: mix baking soda...

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) in KAIYI vehicles is a game-changer for stress-free driving. Unlike basic cruise control, it uses sensors and cameras to monitor the road ahead, detecting vehicles in your lane. When a slower car appears, ACC gently reduces speed by adjusting the throttle or brakes, maintaining a preset safe distance. Once the road clears, it smoothly accelerates back to your...
