And Gaohe Automobile is also speeding up the product layout, at any time may launch a medium-sized sedan in the area of 200,000 or 300,000, which is fatal to Weilai, it can be said that Weilai ET5 is hastily listed.
The ET5 has a length, width and height of 4790/1960/1499 and a wheelbase of 2888mm. The front face of the ET5 follows the family design, the lines are strong, and the slender Double-Dash LED daytime running light resembles a squinting alien ET star.

In the workmanship of the fabric, the shuttle weaving process is adopted, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong. The control panel uses natural minerals and natural plant fibers to reduce carbon emissions by more than 30% compared to conventional materials.
Let's look at the design of the interior. At first glance, the entire interior of ET5 did not find the air outlet of the air conditioner, in fact, it was an invisible design, and the air volume did not decrease but increased. The ET5's dashboard is simple and generous, and there are not many physical buttons. The design of each area is reasonable, the collocation is orderly, and it is integrated, forming a secure surrounding space. The interior panel of the car door, the air conditioner outlet and other areas are designed with curtain shape and treated by special processes, with exquisite texture and delicate touch. 12.8-inch AMOLED central control screen, resolution up to 1,728*1,888,100,000:1 ultra-high contrast ratio, 100% NTSC full color gamut, with excellent display texture. Hi NOMI, get smarter and more fun. You can stare directly at NOMI, you can wake it up and talk freely. Access to the encyclopedia Q&A, it understands more. The ET5 features a sport-shaped seat with a choice of heating, ventilation and massage functions.
Let's talk about the immersive experience that ET5 brings you. For the first time, the ET5 uses a "digital light curtain mood light" with the option of a contrasting color design. The sound hood adopts a rhythmic light cluster design, and the light can breathe on its own or follow the rhythm of the music. The whole series is equipped with a standard 7.1.4 immersive sound system, up to 23 dual speakers, with Dolby Atmos panoramic sound technology and Dirac Pro's leading spatial acoustic algorithm, this advanced editor can not understand. In the future, high-performance AR and VR devices jointly developed with partners will also be applied to ET5 to realize the panoramic immersive experience in the car.
In terms of power, the ET5 adopts a new generation of high-efficiency intelligent electric drive system, with a maximum power of 360 kilowatts, a maximum horsepower of 480 horses, a peak torque of 700 Nm, and a breakthrough in 4.3 seconds. In terms of battery life, the comprehensive mileage of the standard battery pack is 500-550KM, and the comprehensive mileage of the ultra-long battery pack is 1000KM, which needs to be installed as an option.
