K stands for mechanical supercharging, i for direct injection, D for diesel, I for gasoline, G for premium, L for extended, S for luxury, I for standard, T for turbocharging. Basically, it can be understood as: G for the basic model (Grand entry-level), GL for the luxury model (Grande, Lux), and GLS for the top-of-the-line car (Luxury, and Super). Since there are very few G models domestically, many dealers directly interpret GL as the basic model and GLS as the luxury model. Some GSI models are intelligent. SX is generally understood as S representing the luxury model and X indicating new improvements to the body.
MPV - The full name of MPV is Multi-Purpose Vehicle (or Mini Passenger Van), which means multi-purpose vehicle. It integrates the functions of a sedan, station wagon, and van, with each seat being adjustable and having multiple combination methods. In recent years, MPVs have tended to become smaller, and so-called S-MPVs have appeared, where S means small (Small). The body is compact, usually with 5-7 seats. In 1985, France's Renault was the first to introduce a single-box multi-purpose vehicle. This car has an elegant streamlined body, with movable seats inside. Not only does it have seating space for 7-8 people, but it also combines the comfort of a sedan and can be transformed into a mini-bus, camping car, or small cargo vehicle.
SUV - The full name of SUV is Sport Utility Vehicle, meaning "sporty multi-purpose", originating in the United States in the 1980s. It is a type of boxy vehicle developed on a pickup truck chassis to cater to the preferences of young white-collar workers. It has a larger ground clearance and, to a certain extent, combines the comfort of a sedan with the off-road capabilities of an SUV. Due to its MPV-like multi-seat combination function, the vehicle can carry both passengers and cargo, making it versatile.
CUV - CUV is the abbreviation for Car-Based Utility Vehicle, which is designed on a car platform and integrates the characteristics of sedans, MPVs, and SUVs, also known as Crossover. CUV initially originated in Japan at the end of the 20th century and then became popular in regions such as North America and Western Europe. It has become the ideal choice for car users who value both the driving feel and handling of a sedan as well as the functionality of a multi-purpose sports vehicle, prefer the rugged appearance of an SUV, and also focus on fuel economy and good passability. At the beginning of 2004, Outlander was officially launched in the Chinese market, thereby introducing a new automotive design concept called CUV in the domestic car market. For example: Great Wall Haval CUV B3.
RV - The full name of RV is Recreation Vehicle, which means leisure vehicle. It is a type of car suitable for entertainment, leisure, and travel. The country that first proposed the concept of RV cars is Japan. The coverage of RV is relatively broad, without strict boundaries. Broadly speaking, all lightweight passenger vehicles other than sedans and sports cars, such as MPVs, SUVs, and CUVs, can be classified under RV.
CRV - CRV is a model from Honda, and the domestic version is called Dongfeng Honda CR-V, derived from the English term City Recreation Vehicle, which means city leisure vehicle.
SRV - SRV stands for Small Recreation Vehicle, translating to "small leisure vehicle," typically referring to hatchback cars, like Shanghai General Motors Sail SRV.
HRV - Originating from Shanghai General Motors Buick Excelle HRV sedan, HRV takes its meaning from Healthy (health), Recreational (leisure), Vigorous (vigor). Unlike the previous "V," this purely plays on a conceptual level.
RAV - RAV comes from Toyota's small sporty car, RAV4. Toyota explains it as Recreational (leisure), Activity (sports), Vehicle (car), abbreviated as RAV, and since the car is four-wheel drive, a 4 is added.
NCV - Literally understood, NCV stands for New Concept Vehicle, a new concept car. It is based on a car platform and combines the comfort of a car with the off-road capabilities of an SUV. For example, Tiggo NCV. As a new concept "car," it has a broader range of uses than a regular family car.
MT and AT meanings: MT refers to manual transmission (manual gearshift), with the full English term being mechanism transmission. This type of transmission is simple, easy to repair, and affordable, making it a choice for car enthusiasts.
AT corresponds to automatic transmission (automatic gearshift). This type of car still has gears, and you can feel the car's vibrations when it shifts gears automatically.
CVT refers to continuously variable transmission. CVT indicates a car with a continuously variable transmission, which has no fixed gears. You could say that, like climbing the same hill, AT would have steps, whereas CVT would be a smooth incline. These types are slightly more expensive but easier to operate, significantly reducing fatigue caused by driving. Cars equipped with AT and CVT transmissions are generally 10,000 to 20,000 yuan more expensive than the same model (with similar configurations).
Additionally, there are features like ABS anti-lock braking system; EBD brake force distribution; traction control (ASR/TCS/TRC/ATC); brake assist (EBA/BAS); body stability control (ESP/DSC/VSC); and GPS navigation system.
