In recent years, the mainland new energy automobile industry has developed rapidly, and the new car-making forces emerging under the tide of this era have provided us with one high-quality model after another, and they are also constantly breaking through the price ceiling of domestic models. Today, Uncle Che has brought you two pure electric medium and large products, and the price of the two cars has reached about 500,000 yuan, so are they really powerful?
The 2021 NIO ET7 was launched in November last year, and the new car currently has a total of 3 configurations, with a price range of 448,000 to 526,600 yuan.

X-Bar design language transformation appeared in the front face of the car, the traditional network area has a concave design, split headlights and the vehicle contour fit well, the lighting aspect of the standard LED light source, and with automatic headlights, adaptive lights and steering auxiliary lights and other functions.
The new HiPhi X has not changed in terms of interior and exterior design, mainly for the powertrain adjustment. The new car is very impactful in terms of exterior design, and popular design elements such as closed mesh and through-type headlights are equipped, and the overall shape is exactly the same as the previous concept model. Among them, the headlights of the front face of the new car are divided into three parts, the top is the conventional light group, the middle part is the intelligent interactive projection lamp group, and the lower part is the intelligent interactive light group.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the NIO ET7 are 5101×1987×1509 mm, and the wheelbase is 3060mm.
