Today, when Ah Guijun was looking at his mobile phone, he accidentally saw a Mercedes-Benz with a chassis code name of W140, which is commonly known as Tiger Head Ben. Many people feel that "there is no Mercedes-Benz after the tiger's head", and in that year, it dominated the D-class car market with models such as the Crown 133 and the Lexus LS400. With the passage of time, what makes Ah Guijun sigh is that many car configurations that have disappeared, although they are not luxurious configurations, but they are also a memory. Today, A Guijun will come with you to see what car configurations have disappeared from people's vision.
Hand cranked windows
Ah Guijun still remembers that someone always said that when hand-cranking the window, it must be uniform, so that there is a feeling of electric lifting. Many years ago, the electric lift of the window was only a configuration for high-end models, and now even less than 100,000 family cars are equipped with electric lifting function, and even a key lift.
Mechanical handbrake
Presumably, every friend who drives a manual transmission model remembers that the moment when the handbrake is pulled up when parking, the sound of "clicking and clicking" and a handsome action make the action of getting off the car become very ritualistic. Now, in addition to some performance cars or trucks that retain mechanical handbrakes, ordinary family cars use electronic handbrake functions. Not only does it not take up space, but for girls with little strength, electronic handbrakes are simply a blessing compared to mechanical handbrakes.
CD player
Speaking of CD player A Guijun remembered that in the past, I always liked to put a few more CDs in the car, just for the boring pastime of long-distance travel. But with the increasing development of automotive technology and the advent of the era of electrification, not only CD players have become rare, but even physical buttons have become fewer.
Instead, wireless CarPlay, CarLife features, and a huge screen on the center console. Although there is less emotion, the sense of technology in the car has been greatly improved.
Headlight wipers
Aguijun remembers that this feature appeared on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W126 and Volvo S80. At that time, many luxury cars used xenon headlights, and the occurrence of lampshade pollution may cause headlight light scattering, which will affect the line of sight of the incoming car and cause safety hazards, so there are laws and regulations in the European Union that stipulate that vehicles equipped with xenon headlights should also be equipped with headlight cleaning systems.
The current headshade is not easy to be polluted and most models use LED light sources, which will greatly avoid the problem of affecting the line of sight of the vehicle oncoming. Naturally, the headlight wiper function gradually disappeared from our sight.
GuiyanTang:
The gradual disappearance of the car configuration is far more than this, some people say that the configuration on the old car is a kind of feeling, a sense of ceremony. However, with the advancement of science and technology, the comprehensive electrification strategy of each oem, the car has become more intelligent, and the car configuration has also undergone earth-shaking changes compared with that year.
