At the beginning of this year, Nio released its first high-end new energy sedan ET7, while saying that it will be delivered at the beginning of next year, its excellent hardware performance has won the unanimous favor of car users, and at this year's Nio Day 2021, NIO officially announced that NIO ET7 will open delivery on March 28, 2022, of course, the protagonist of Nio Day today is not ET7, but ET5, Weilai also officially released et5 sedan today, from the configuration point of view and ET7 is almost the same, It can be said that it is a product of Weilai's volume next year.
First of all, the appearance, Weilai has said that the opponent of ET5 is Model 3 when it is warmed up before, so it is in line with Model 3 in terms of car size, but from the overall style point of view, Weilai ET5 and ET7 use almost the same design elements, but compared with the elegance of ET7, Weilai ET5 is more inclined to sporty, so the design of the whole vehicle is more sporty, but also more fashionable, in line with the tastes of young people. From the perspective of the size of the three dimensions, the length, width and height of the NIO ET5 are 4790/1960/1499mm, and the wheelbase is 2888mm, which is already larger than the Model 3. In addition, the handle of ET5 adopts a pop-up design, and it will also use the design of the electric suction door, which has actually been used by the majority of new energy vehicle manufacturers.
In terms of interior, unlike the material used by Weilai ET7, Weilai ET5 is minimalist, more concise and clear, the interior will have 6 colors The top of the car is a huge canopy, Weilai said that it can block 99.9% of ultraviolet rays, protect the health of the driver, and in order to make the speaker effect more outstanding, Weilai ET7 uses 23 speakers, 7.1.4 immersion, 1000W audio power, with the help of Dolby Atmos technology to achieve the immersion of the whole vehicle.
In terms of power, WEILAI ET5 also adopts quite luxurious specifications, such as the dual motor power system of the front permanent magnet synchronous motor and the rear induction asynchronous motor, and the maximum power reaches 360Kw. 100 km acceleration reached 4.3 seconds, acceleration performance is very good, in addition, at the press conference, Weilai also announced the ET7 endurance performance, of which the 75kWh battery pack reached 500-550Km, 100kWh battery pack for 640-700Km, as for the 150kWh battery pack the mileage is more than 1000Km, of course, the first NIO ET5 battery pack specifications are 75kWh and 100kWh.
