The usage method of the built-in navigation in the Envision: 1. Turn on the navigation; 2. Enter the map; 3. Search for the destination; 4. Set the destination; 5. Click to start navigation. The Envision's onboard navigation uses the vehicle's GPS combined with an electronic map to conveniently and accurately guide the driver to the destination via the shortest or fastest route, making it a great assistant for drivers. The Envision's body dimensions are 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1686mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. The Envision is a new-generation strategic model from General Motors, featuring 17-inch nine-spoke aluminum alloy wheels and Bridgestone Dueler H/L 225/65R17 tires, equipped with a 1.5T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine and an engine start-stop function.

After getting my Envision, I found the built-in navigation quite intuitive. Basically, as soon as I start the car, I can see the main menu on the center screen, and tapping the navigation icon takes me to the map interface. There are multiple ways to input a destination: voice control is the most convenient—just long-press the voice button on the steering wheel and say 'Navigate to [destination],' and the system automatically recognizes and plans the route. Manual operation involves searching for an address or point of interest (POI) on the screen, such as a restaurant or supermarket. After selecting a destination, it displays several route options. I usually pick one that avoids peak hours, saving fuel and hassle. During the drive, the screen shows real-time guidance, reminding me of turns or lane changes. By the way, the navigation also supports POI searches, making it easy to find parking lots or gas stations. I recommend new owners explore these features—it might feel a bit unfamiliar at first, but it gets smoother with practice. Regularly updating the map data is also important. You can download the latest version through the update option in the vehicle settings to avoid wrong turns. Overall, the Envision’s navigation design is beginner-friendly, and spending some time familiarizing yourself with it ensures a worry-free drive.

Is the Malibu Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?

The Malibu is front-wheel drive. All models of the 18th generation Malibu adopt a front-engine, front-wheel-drive design. Advantages of Rear-Wheel Drive: First, under normal road conditions, rear-wheel-drive vehicles have an inherent advantage during acceleration. Since the engine is located at the front, the vehicle's center of gravity naturally shifts backward during launch, significantly increasing the traction of the rear wheels, which serve as the driving wheels. A well-balanced weight distribution further enhances acceleration and ride comfort. Characteristics of Front-Wheel Drive: Lower manufacturing cost is a primary consideration for automakers during design and production. Compared to rear-wheel drive, front-wheel-drive designs are less expensive both in terms of design and assembly. Front-wheel-drive vehicles do not require a rear driveshaft or rear differential, and their transmission systems differ from rear-wheel-drive setups, featuring fewer and more centralized components. This facilitates easier arrangement of other systems, such as braking, fuel lines, and exhaust systems, in the lower part of the vehicle.

What Does Horsepower Mean?

The unit of power is kilowatt. Both horsepower and kilowatt are units of power, but there is a difference in the power represented by 1 horsepower and 1 kilowatt. Here is relevant information: The conversion between horsepower and power is 1 horsepower equals 735 watts or 0.735 kilowatts. The United States and the United Kingdom commonly use imperial horsepower, where 1 horsepower equals 0.985 imperial horsepower. Horsepower has now been abolished from China's legal measurement units, and engine power is now labeled in kilowatts. Power and torque are the two highest indicators of a car. The physical definition of power is the amount of work done by an object per unit time. For internal combustion engines, we can understand it as the amount of energy generated by fuel per unit time. Therefore, power is merely a physical quantity that describes the speed of work. The higher the power, the more energy is generated per unit time, and often the higher the maximum speed of the car. The definition of torque on an engine refers to the moment output at the crankshaft end, and the magnitude of the moment determines the car's acceleration. Therefore, torque is a physical quantity that measures the engine's acceleration capability.

Will frequent lane changes cause a tire blowout?

Frequent lane changes will not cause a tire blowout. The following is an introduction to frequent lane changes: Turn signals must be activated in advance when changing lanes: When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal should be activated in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal should be activated in advance. Regulations clearly stipulate: When a motor vehicle turns, changes lanes, overtakes, makes a U-turn, or parks by the roadside on the road, the turn signal must be activated 100 to 50 meters in advance. Do not change lanes frequently: Yield to vehicles in the lane you are entering; drive in order and do not change lanes frequently.

What's the matter with BMW iX3 battery degradation?

In fact, battery degradation is a common and normal phenomenon. It's just that if a mobile phone battery fails, replacing it doesn't cost much, but if an electric vehicle's battery degrades severely, replacing it can be very expensive. Introduction to battery degradation: Battery performance degradation actually refers to the phenomenon of voltage, capacity, and state of charge (SOC) differences among the battery cells that make up the battery pack. Causes of battery degradation: The battery pack is internally composed of individual battery cells connected in series and parallel. In an ideal state, car owners would like every parameter of each battery cell to be exactly the same. This can often be achieved when leaving the factory, but over time, it's hard to say—battery cells can become less uniform due to factors such as charging and discharging currents, temperature, humidity, and usage habits. As a result, the battery exhibits degradation.

New Energy Battery Lifespan?

New energy vehicle batteries typically have a lifespan of around 6 years. Here are the relevant details: After 6 years of use, electric vehicles are more prone to malfunctions. It is recommended to replace the battery promptly to address a series of issues caused by battery aging, such as significantly reduced range, decreased storage capacity, and slower charging. The battery's lifespan also depends on the owner's maintenance habits. For instance, gentle acceleration when starting, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (as high temperatures accelerate battery aging), and preventing operation in extremely low temperatures (which reduces range) are essential. Additionally, the charging process should be stopped once the battery is fully charged, as prolonged charging is not beneficial. Over-discharging should also be avoided.

Can a car be registered if the motorcycle is not deregistered?

If a motorcycle under the owner's name has been scrapped but not deregistered, the owner will not be able to register any other vehicle. Here is the relevant information: If the motorcycle owner fails to legally complete the deregistration process, the vehicle management department will not handle new vehicle registration or transfer procedures. Additionally, the vehicle management department will deregister the registration certificate, license plate, and vehicle license for vehicles that have not obtained the inspection qualification mark within the specified period. For those who fail to complete the deregistration process on time, a public notice will be issued for compulsory deregistration. Scrapped motor vehicles must be deregistered promptly. Vehicles that meet the scrapping standard are not allowed on the road. Scrapped large passenger vehicles, trucks, and other commercial vehicles should be dismantled under the supervision of the traffic management department of the public security authorities.
