The effect of an air conditioner on engine power

Additional load on the engine:

The air conditioner is powered by the car engine through a belt that transmits mechanical energy. When the air conditioner is turned on, it creates an additional load on the engine. This is due to the need to maintain the operation of the compressor, which requires additional engine speed. As a result, fuel consumption increases and there may be a decrease in the overall power of the car.

Impact on performance in extreme conditions:

At high temperatures and when using an air conditioner, it is possible that the engine will run at its maximum capacity. This can lead to a decrease in the overall performance of the car, especially when accelerating or in mountainous areas.

Based on this, choose a car with sufficient engine power for use on Koh Samui!

Ground clearance

The effect of ground clearance on car use:

The high ground clearance allows the car to easily overcome bumps, rocks and other obstacles. It reduces the risk of damage to the bottom, transmission and suspension, providing greater freedom of movement.

Low ground clearance increases the risk of damage to the lower parts of the car when driving through deep pits, steep ascents or descents.

Conclusion:

The ground clearance of a car significantly affects its ability to cope with height differences and various obstacles on the road.

The right choice will ensure comfortable and safe movement, regardless of the complexity of the route.

Based on this, choose a car with a comfortable ground clearance for you!
