With the ability to benchmark the BBA, WEIO ET7 relies on intelligence, but it is more than intelligent

The proportion of the traditional internal combustion engine market may gradually shrink in the future, but it deserves to be regarded as eternal. Driven by the general environment, new energy vehicles have "overtaken in curves", replacing the traditional internal combustion engine automobile market and laying the foundation for future development. But this is only the opportunity for the rise of new car-making forces, and the reason for the rapid growth of new car-making forces is more based on intelligent technology.
Weilai is one of the leading ranks of the new car-making forces, although the sales volume of Weilai is not enough to make it the first new domestic car-making force, but it has an extremely strict quality control over its models, so Weilai has an excellent reputation among the new car-making forces, and even, it is more like a car brand that calms down to specialize in product strength.
Although the WEILAI ET7 is unfavorable, this model only surprises me at a glance, compared to Tesla's similar products, Weilai ET7's product strength is much better. This is a pure electric car positioned in the medium and large fields, so the model has a large number of visual effects, coupled with a streamlined styling design, making it more refreshing and slender in visual effects.
At present, this model provides 7 kinds of body colors to choose from, namely cloud white, Antarctic star blue, star gray, aurora green, deep space blue, Xiaguang City, and Li Kong silver, of which, Li Kong silver can show the future technology of this model, and the Sven tone of the model is released, with a slender body posture, making it more elegant.
But the lidar equipped with this model is one of its major focuses, lidar has a more accurate detection capability than conventional millimeter-wave radar, and the detection range of lidar is also wider, which can further bring the algorithmically powerful intelligent driving assistance system, so the entire model series is equipped with L3 level driving assistance.
And this is only part of the model in the intelligent technology configuration level, although this model uses a closed front face, but under the front face there is an air flow evacuation port, this air flow channel is equipped with an active intake grille, as long as the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the air flow channel will be opened, thereby reducing the wind resistance coefficient of the model, increasing the downforce of the front, and bringing stability to the body.
The model adopts a slippery shape, from the side of this model, its overall proportion is very symmetrical, even if the body length reaches 5101mm, the wheelbase reaches 3060mm, but its body length still does not appear obtrusive. The model uses hidden door handles and large wheels in the style of wind knives to reduce the wind resistance coefficient.
The rear of this model has a set of through-the-tail lights, which are streamlined but full of technology. The models' taillights are equipped with inductive opening as standard, as well as an electric rear tailgate, which is very convenient when opening or closing the tailgate. In addition, the entire model series is also equipped with an electric suction door, and this configuration alone is enough to see the sincerity of Weilai. The future ET7 uses an unopenable panoramic canopy, although it cannot be opened, but this canopy can block ultraviolet rays and has thermal insulation capabilities.
At present, WEIO ET7 provides three versions on sale, as well as two upcoming versions, these five configurations are consistent in terms of power, all equipped with four-wheel drive dual motors, motor power reached 653Ps + 850N·m, not only sufficient power reserves, but also performance strength. In terms of endurance, it is divided into three types, the low-end model has a range of 500 kilometers, the two 100kWh have a range of 700 kilometers, and the two upcoming versions have a range of 1000 kilometers.
summary:
Weilai ET7 is a model that focuses on cost performance, although the official guidance price of this model is set at 448,000 yuan - 526,000 yuan, which is still expensive for many families, but this model is worth the price. Because the model it is benchmarking comes from the BBA's BMW 5 Series PHEV, Mercedes-Benz E-Class PHEV, and Tesla Model S, compared to these models, Weilai ET7 is much better in terms of configuration, and the reason why this model is confident of benchmarking with these models is more from the solid foundation of product strength.
