2022 can be regarded as a year of cars for Weilai, in addition to the appearance of more than a year of ET7 finally delivered, Nio also launched a new model ET5 on NIO Day 2021, but the new car in the interior except for the only official picture has not officially debuted. On March 28, we obtained a set of INTERIOR spy photos of WEILAI ET5 from relevant channels, and the overall use of a new color collocation. It is reported that the first models of the new car will be delivered in September this year.
From the exposure of the spy photos, the most eye-catching place of the new car is the use of black and green color collocation, giving people a very fresh and full of environmentally friendly atmosphere, such a collocation is not common in other models, personally feel that put on this main young and fashionable new energy model, there is no sense of violation. In terms of design, the new car can be said to copy the design of ET7, the two are basically the same, the overall use of family-style minimalist style, 10.2-inch full LCD instrument with 12.8-inch central control screen and electronic gear lever, for the car to bring a strong sense of science and technology. Of course, hidden air conditioner outlets have also been adopted on the new car, and the sense of fashion has also been improved a lot.
It is reported that the ET5 is equipped with THE NIO panoCinema, a panoramic digital cockpit equipped with AR/VR technology, and has jointly developed exclusive AR glasses with innovative AR equipment company NREAL, which can project a large screen with a visual distance of 6 meters and is equivalent to 201 inches. It is worth mentioning that above the center console, there is no iconic NOMI figure, and it is not excluded that it will appear on the mass production car as an optional configuration in the future.
Looking at the rear row, the overall configuration is "plain" a lot, not equipped with the same as THE ET7 rear touch screen, only air conditioning outlet, and does not support partition temperature regulation, it is not clear whether it will be equipped with USB or Type-C interface, it seems that the configuration is in line with model 3. In addition, through the front seat shape, it is expected to be equipped with integrated sports seats to enhance the sports atmosphere in the car.
Looking back at the appearance, the new car adopts the same X-Bar design language as the ET7, and the LED daytime running lights and headlights group adopt a split design, but compared with the ET7 new car, it is more youthful. At the same time, ET5 will provide 9 body colors, of which clear space powder and cloud yellow are the exclusive colors of ET5, and the annual color Aerospace Blue will also be installed on the new car.
On the side, the new car's sneaky styling further enhances its sporty atmosphere, and the through-type taillights bring excellent recognition. In terms of body size, the NIO ET5 has a length, width and height of 4790/1960/1499mm, and a wheelbase of 2888mm.
In terms of power, the ET5 is based on the same NT2 platform as et7, which will be equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor and a rear induction asynchronous motor power system, with a maximum power of 150kW in front of the motor, a maximum output of 360kW, and an acceleration of 4.3 seconds per 100 kilometers. In terms of endurance, it is equipped with a standard battery pack (75kWh) CLTC with a range of more than 550 kilometers, a long battery pack (100kWh) with a range of more than 700 kilometers, and a long battery pack (150kWh) with a range of more than 1000 kilometers. In addition, according to Weilai engineers, ET5 will be mainly wheel drive in the daily life, which is different from the current several SUV products.
On the opponent side, although it is officially said to be hoping to attract potential users of mid-level luxury cars in the BBA (that is, we generally say 34C), in fact, the new car is undoubtedly aimed at the Tesla Model 3. Whether it is pricing, positioning or configuration, the two have extremely similar product power, for users, in fact, everyone understands. After all, seeing that Tesla Model 3 and Model Y have such a large share in the new energy market, who doesn't want to take a share of it, or even replace its current benchmark position?
The editor said: no blowing and no black, I personally feel that ET5 still has a strong product force at present, whether it is design, configuration or power, it is very in line with the pursuit of current users, and there are many media around me that have ordered on the day of release, and according to the official statement, this is the car that received the most orders on the day of the release of Weilai. The minimum price of 258,000 yuan can get such a car, in fact, it is still quite attractive, but in the next more important thing, looking forward to the arrival of the mass production model of the real car, in the end can it bring users a "value for money" experience, and with the launch of the new car, will it surprise us on the new energy list?
