Fast technology news on January 11, I don't know if you have paid attention to such details, many hard-core off-road vehicles, and even SUVs are equipped with side-opening tailgates, but their opening directions are not the same.

Most Japanese cars are driven from left to right, and in domestic cars, Great Wall chose the same direction as the Japanese, but BYD chose to drive from right to left, including looking up to U8 and Leopard Leopard 5, so why is there such a selection deviation, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

First of all, why should hardcore off-road vehicles be equipped with side-opening tailgates? According to automotive engineers, this kind of door is rigid, can be attached to the spare tire, and at the same time has better sealing, suitable for field vehicles.

As for driving left or right, it depends on the specific use scenario, in our country, because the left-hand drive car drives on the right, if you need to stop on the side of the road to load and unload goods, then there is no doubt that the tailgate that opens from right to left will be more suitable and safer.

However, this is not fully applicable, there are two defects, take looking up at U8 as an example, when opening the tailgate to load something, the spare tire will block the vehicle's marker light, if it is at night, there may be certain safety hazards, but this situation should be avoided by design.

In addition, if the right side is parked against the wall, then the disadvantage of driving to the left is also reflected, especially if there is a vehicle parked close to the rear, at this time the tailgate that opens from left to right is undoubtedly more suitable.

But driving to the right is not all advantages, the most inconvenient thing is that when you want to put a bunch of things inside, you need to walk to the left side of the car, close to the middle of the road, the danger will be relatively higher.

Do you think it's better to open the tailgate to the right or left, or is there a better solution?
