Want to buy an electric car, but don't know how to choose? Just follow "Car 314"!
Recently, many netizens have sent private messages to us to consult the problem of car purchase, including many questions about whether Tesla Model 3 is worth buying. In the view of "Car 314", it is not very recommended for everyone to buy Model 3, although the sales of domestic Model 3 are very high, but for a B-class car, this price is still too high.
Anyway, if you let the editor choose, you will definitely not choose Tesla. However, since everyone asked, then we have brought you two high-end pure electric models of independent brands that save money and worry, which not only have higher endurance, but also do not lose Tesla in intelligent configuration! See here I believe everyone has doubts, can they really shake the status of Tesla Model 3? Let's take a look!
Appearance comparison: Xiaopeng has the most modern atmosphere
From the appearance point of view, the three models are different styles, of which the Polar Fox Alpha S as the second model of the family, it is a good inheritance of the design language of alpha T, "X" type front face design is highly recognizable. Headlights, grilles, etc. are sharp designed, which makes it look good sporty.
The overall shape of the Xiaopeng P7 is more futuristic, and its headlight group adopts a split design, and the through-line LED light strip is embedded above. It has the posture of a typical coupe model, and the wide and flat front of the car has a dazzling feeling under the current aesthetic fatigue.
Tesla Model 3 is a pair of "frog face", the headlights on both sides of the upward and downward projection, with the upper and lower through the vents, looks more cute, quite a male and female tonic meaning.
brief summary:
Buying a car eye edge is important. In terms of appearance, the Polar Fox Alpha S emphasizes the sense of sport, Xiaopeng is more of a new force in car-making technology, as for the Tesla Model 3 looks more fashionable, all three are the current young people love the type, how to choose depends on your preferences, I am more inclined to Xiaopeng's shape.
Body size comparison: Tesla is at the bottom again
In terms of body size, the polar fox Alpha S has a length, width and height of 4930/1940/1599mm and a wheelbase of 2915mm; the length, width and height of the Xiaopeng P7 are 4880/1896/1450mm, with a wheelbase of 2998mm; the Tesla Model has a length, width and height of 4694/1850/1443mm, and a wheelbase of 2875mm.
Overall, the Polar Fox Alpha S is ahead of the other two competitors in both length and height, xiaopeng P7 has the longest wheelbase, and tesla model 3 is not dominant in terms of length, width and height or wheelbase, which also reflects the interior space Model 3 is the smallest one.
If you simply need a model with a lot of space, none of these three models are very suitable, because they all have a slip-on design, so the head space of the passengers in the second row is very limited. In addition, the trunk opening of most cars will be smaller than that of SUV models of the same level, so it is more recommended that you go to see SUV models at the same price.
Of course, if you just buy it for your family, all three models are very suitable, after all, it is rare to have a full load of 5 people.
Interior comparison: Tesla you have to get used to it!
Next is the comparison of the interior part, if the 4K multimedia screen on alpha T is stunning, then this screen on alpha S is sublimation. Although the parameters are the same as the screen on the Alpha T, and the function is no different, it has added its own careful thinking to the design. Connected with the full LCD instrument, this 20.3-inch screen appears larger, and also makes the technology atmosphere in the car straight up.
Xiaopeng P7 is equipped with a pair of 10.25-inch full LCD instruments and 14.9-inch central control screen composed of a two-panel screen, the overall shape of the car is simple, and the horizontal lines create a sense of layering but not messy. It is worth mentioning that there is also a design similar to a small table board in the Co-pilot position of Xiaopeng P7, which can more conveniently pass the time of the co-driver and occupants.
Tesla Model 3 interior is more interesting, this car is not equipped with the traditional sense of the instrument screen, but all the functions of the vehicle are integrated in a 15-inch size of the suspension of the central control screen, driving a fuel car friends may need a period of time to adapt.
In terms of the interior part, the 4K multimedia screen of the Polar Fox Alpha S is a big plus, and in terms of workmanship materials, the Pole Fox Alpha S at the same price is also stronger. On the other hand, the interior design of Tesla Model 3 is somewhat "anti-human", and no instrument screen has a great impact on the safety of driving, after all, no one can always tilt their heads to look at the central control screen. As for the Xiaopeng P7, it is decent, and the powerful AI semantic recognition ability is one of its selling points.
Power parameter comparison: Tesla up to 3.3 seconds
From the perspective of the power part, the maximum power of the polar fox Alpha S single motor version is 160kW, the peak torque is 360N·m, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 8.3 seconds; the total power of the four-wheel drive dual-motor version motor is 320kW, the total torque is 720N·m, and the time required for 0-100km/h acceleration is only 4.2 seconds.
The maximum power of the Xiaopeng P7 single motor version is 196kW, the peak torque is 390N·m, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 6.7 seconds; the total power of the four-wheel drive dual-motor version motor is 316kW, the peak torque is 655N·m, and the acceleration time required for 0-100km/h is only 4.3 seconds.
Tesla Model 3 single motor version of the maximum kilometer 202 kW, peak torque 404N·m, 0-100 km / h acceleration time of 6.1 seconds; Performance high-performance all-wheel drive version of the motor total power of 357 kW, total torque of 659 N·m, 0-100 km / h acceleration time of 3.3 seconds.
On the whole, the three models are provided with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, the overall gap between the Xiaopeng P7 and Tesla Model 3 at the same price is not large, while the former's single-motor version has a higher endurance, 670 km / 706 km (Tesla Model 3 is 556 km), but Tesla Model 3 Performance high-performance all-wheel drive version of the model only takes 3.3 seconds to break the hundred, the performance is the most outstanding. Another point to mention is that although the Polar Fox Alpha S single motor version is the worst performance of the three models, it is enough to meet the family.
Intelligent configuration comparison: In essence, there is no difference
Finally, the comparison of intelligent configuration, tesla can still pull back a point, after all, the Autopilot automatic assist driving function is really powerful, but this function needs to cost an additional 64,000 yuan to install, which also leads to a lot of price increases, but will exceed the budget.
It is worth mentioning that the Xiaopeng P7 and Alpha S at this price point have been equipped with XPilot3.0 or α-Pilot system, such as mainstream lane keeping, traffic sign recognition, fatigue driving tips, reversing side warning system, automatic parking entry, facial recognition and many other functions can be realized, so the actual experience of the three is not much different, so it is more suitable for Xiaopeng P7 and Alpha S.
Through the analysis, it is not difficult to find that although Tesla is much ahead of the two competitors in the smart configuration, it requires an additional cost of 64,000 yuan to choose, which is not a small amount, and if this feature is not optional, Tesla is not competitive at all compared to the other two models.
Price comparison: Tesla has no advantage
The two models recommended for everyone this time are the Polar Fox Alpha S from Blue Valley Magna and the Xiaopeng P7, a new car-making force. First of all, from the price point of view, the polar fox alpha S guidance price range is 251,900-429,900 yuan; the Xiaopeng P7 guidance price range is 224,200-409,900 yuan; and the Tesla Model 3 guidance price range is 276,740-339,900 yuan, the price of the three overlaps to a certain extent, and the entry-level model Extreme Fox Alpha S and Xiaopeng P7 are much cheaper than tesla Model 3, so it is extremely appropriate to compare.
Conclusion:
In summary, if your budget is only 300,000 yuan, then the Xiaopeng P7 and the Polar Fox Alpha S are more cost-effective, and both models have models with a range of more than 700 kilometers for you to choose. And if you want to experience the ultimate performance, then the Tesla Model 3 Performance high-performance all-wheel drive version may be better for you. If you have a larger budget, then the Xiaopeng P7 Pengyi Edition with scissor door or the Huawei Hi Edition of the Polar Fox Alpha S will also be a good choice.
