As we all know, although NIO ET7 has been listed for more than a year, it has been in a state of futures, especially in the interior has not been seen. Recently, we obtained a set of interior spy photos of WEILAI ET7 from the Internet, which is similar to ES6/ES8 as a whole. It is worth mentioning that on January 5, WEILAI announced the latest subsidy price of WEILAI ET7 according to the latest subsidy policy, the price of the whole series of models is 43.666 ~ 51.34 million yuan, and a total of three models are equipped with two battery packs of different capacities, which is lower than the previous price.
At the same time, on January 20, WEILAI announced that ET7 officially opened the lock order, the first batch of models will be delivered on March 28, of which the first owner of ET7 will come with a 7kW DC home charging pile, March 28 (inclusive) front lock list, can be upgraded to 11kW DC home charging pile for free, and can enjoy 5000 yuan booking gold deduction of 10000 yuan limited time booking rights.
Looking back at the model, from the spy photos exposed this time, the first thing you can see is that the new car adopts the design officially known as the third-generation intelligent cockpit, the 12.8-inch central control large screen and the full LCD dashboard have a very strong family design, and the new car adopts a double-frame steering wheel design, which creates a strong scientific and technological atmosphere for the car as a whole. In addition, the new car adopts a hidden air outlet design, rather than adopting a penetrating design like other models in its own.
In terms of details, the new car has made changes near the gear shift area, retaining only three physical buttons, which is more minimalistic than the ES6 and ES8, and more functional adjustments are placed in the central control. In addition, it can be noted that the door handles used in new cars are also different, which are equipped with button door handles with backlighting functions. According to the latest release of WEILAI, the new car is expected to be equipped with a new Aspen 3.0.0 vehicle and machine system, fully upgrade the UIUX of central control, instrument screen, HUD, and provide a variety of new applications such as group travel, national K song and tidal mode in this version, so as to further optimize the user experience.
Looking at the rear row, it can be seen that the door panel is equipped with two door handles of the button type and the traditional style, and will also be equipped with the rear exhaust air outlet, but whether it is equipped with temperature zone adjustment has yet to be verified. In addition, since the new car has a length and width of 5098/1987/1505mm in size and a wheelbase of 3060mm, we can see that it still has a good performance in the rear space.
Looking back at the appearance, the new car is the first model based on the NT2.0 technology platform, and the new car adopts a new X-Bar style in design, with more emphasis on streamlined and concise language style as a whole, and integrates fast and slow charging ports together to further reduce the body opening point. At the same time, the new car has also been optimized in the body design, the whole series is equipped with AGS active air intake grille, air suspension, and the chassis uses lightweight skid plates for all-round coverage, which further improves aerodynamic performance.
In terms of power, thanks to the technology of the NT2.0 platform, the new car will be equipped with a combination of a front 180kW permanent magnet motor and a rear 300kW induction motor, with a comprehensive power of 480kW and an acceleration time of 3.9 seconds per 100 kilometers. In terms of battery life, the CLTC has a comprehensive cruising range of 530km for the 75kWh battery pack and 675km for the CLTC with a 100kWh battery pack. In addition, the official will also launch a 150kWh solid-state battery in the follow-up, neDC cruising range of up to 1000km, and will have point-to-point automatic driving capabilities.
The editor said: After a year of listing, Weilai ET7 finally has some signs of coming to the side, coupled with the previous release of Weilai ET5, it seems that Weilai wants to focus on cars in 2022, and at the same time brings a lot of technical points, ET series will bring how much sales increase in the original ES series, which remains to be verified. However, in my opinion, ET7 seems to be more as the flagship model of the ET series "supporting the façade", to a certain extent competing with the SAIC Audi A7L, and the real amount of it depends on the ET5 that is benchmarked with the Model 3, and can the arrival of these two models become the new king in the field?
