535le new energy has relatively many issues. Below is an introduction to the 535le new energy: 1. Introduction: The BMW 535le hybrid offers three models for consumers to choose from. The revamped BMW 535le hybrid not only improves its pure electric range but also upgrades certain configurations. 2. Range: Before the revamp, the pure electric range of the 5 Series new energy lineup was only 67 kilometers, but after the revamp, it increased to 95 kilometers, fully meeting the needs of daily commuting. 3. Exterior: The 535le finally allows the option of the M Sport package, making it stand out even with a green license plate.

To be honest, as a hybrid vehicle, the 535Le doesn't have too many issues overall. I've been driving it for over two years, mainly encountering some minor battery-related problems. For instance, the pure electric range may drop from 80 kilometers to just over 60 kilometers in winter, which is quite normal as all new energy vehicles share this common drawback. Additionally, the onboard system occasionally acts up, such as the screen going black or warning lights giving false alarms, but a system reboot usually fixes it. Other aspects like the engine are quite robust, with no major failures in the drivetrain, and the brakes and suspension have been trouble-free. Personally, I believe the key is regular maintenance—getting it checked every 5,000 kilometers, especially the battery and electrical circuits, which can prevent many potential issues. New owners shouldn't worry too much; just get used to it. After all, every car has its pros and cons, and over time, you'll find its overall performance quite reliable.

I've personally experienced the reliability of the 535Le for a year and didn't find the issues to be excessive. The battery pack was my main concern, given it's a hybrid. Capacity degradation is common; after two years, charging cycles may shorten, and winter range can drop, but replacing the battery cell fixes it. I've also encountered minor issues like malfunctioning window regulators and noisy AC fans, which were inexpensive to repair. Overall, BMW's craftsmanship is solid, with low failure rates in the drivetrain and brakes, making it a stable drive. I recommend owners use genuine parts for maintenance—avoiding cheaper aftermarket parts to prevent problems. With rapid advancements in new energy tech, the 535Le is a mature product; minor issues are inevitable but won't disrupt daily commutes.

The experience of driving the 535Le is generally good, with no major issues to report. As a hybrid, the pure electric mode occasionally falls short on range, but the transition to the fuel system is seamless. There have been a few false alarms from electronic sensors, like low tire pressure warnings that weren't actually issues—just a reset was needed. The battery pack's lifespan is normal, lasting over five years unless frequently fast-charged, which can degrade it. Day-to-day driving is smooth with no significant malfunctions; air conditioning doesn't affect performance, and the steering system is precise. Maintenance costs a bit more than a conventional fuel car, but BMW's after-sales service is decent and efficient. Don't stress over minor issues; just enjoy its low fuel consumption.

Introduction to Nissan: As one of the three major Japanese car manufacturers, Nissan's core engine technology and reliability performance are generally average. However, the once-popular VQ series engines, which were used in almost all Nissan models 20 years ago, and the VQ37HR naturally aspirated V6 engine, which is Nissan's masterpiece, were selected for the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for fourteen consecutive years. Nissan's high ranking among joint venture car brands demonstrates its considerable strength in this area.

What to Do If You Forget the Annual Inspection?

If you forget the annual inspection, the first thing to do is to stop driving the vehicle on the road and proceed with the inspection process as soon as possible. Specific requirements for overdue annual inspection: First, prepare the original copy of the "Motor Vehicle Driving License," the original valid compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy for the current year, the valid tax payment or tax exemption certificate for the current year's vehicle and vessel tax, and the original copy of your identity proof. Since the owner's identity information needs to be recorded during the process, the original ID card must be submitted. If an agent applies, in addition to the agent's ID card, a written power of attorney signed by the vehicle owner is required. This is very important—without the power of attorney, even if all other documents are complete, the agent cannot handle the process. Second, make an appointment in advance. To complete the annual inspection, you must make an appointment beforehand, and the earliest you can go is the next day. There are two ways to make an appointment: phone appointment or online appointment, both of which are convenient. Penalties for overdue annual inspection: According to relevant traffic laws, vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection are not qualified to be driven on the road. If caught driving such a vehicle, you will be penalized with a 3-point deduction. Additionally, if any traffic accident occurs due to failure to attend the annual inspection on time, the person involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not be liable.

How to Reverse a Car?

Observe changes in the surrounding environment, such as checking for obstacles before and after getting into the car. Do not rely entirely on auxiliary devices like reverse parking sensors or rearview cameras. Even if an accident occurs, maintaining a sufficiently slow speed will minimize damage.
