Weilai ET7, which has been listed for more than a year, has finally ushered in the first batch of deliveries. As the first medium and large sedan of the NIO family, ET7 adopts a new appearance style and interior design, while greatly improving compared with WEILAI's previous models in terms of power performance and endurance, attracting a large number of users to pay attention to and even place orders. Objectively speaking, what about WEILAI ET7? Is it highly affordable? Is this issue of "Is this car worth it?" Let's analyze and evaluate together.
In fact, in terms of the price of 448,000-526,000 yuan, I think the target users of WEILAI ET7 are not limited to the new energy vehicle just need group, and even some friends who are ready to buy pure fuel vehicles make choices in luxury brands such as BBA. Of course, as a medium-sized pure electric car, WEILAI ET7 is more technological, avant-garde design, intelligent experience and driving texture, etc., which have attracted many consumers who want to try.
The new shape design, medium and large size and the power performance of 3.8s breaking the hundred are the highlights of the WEILAI ET7. What is the actual performance of ALL aspects of NIO ET7? How affordable is it? Next, we will score from the five dimensions of vehicle size, configuration, space, power and driving, and finally obtain a comprehensive evaluation.
The first is the size of the vehicle, in this project, we will judge the SCORE of NIO ET7 from the two aspects of data compliance (objective) and visual satisfaction (subjective), the former accounted for 60%, out of 6 points, and the latter accounted for 40%, out of 4 points. A total of 10 points.
Next is the vehicle configuration, we divide the vehicle configuration into comfort, convenience, safety, technology, entertainment five configuration categories, respectively, judged and scored, the single configuration category out of 6 points, a total of 30 points.
Comfortable features: segmented non-open panoramic sunroof, steering wheel heating, front seat leg rests, front and rear seat heating/ventilation/massage, rear independent air conditioning, etc.
Convenient configuration: electric induction trunk, keyless entry, mobile phone wireless charging, Type-C interface, rearview mirror lock car automatic down flip down, etc.
Safety configuration: front side airbags, front intermediate airbags, intelligent driver assistance, transparent chassis, front and rear parking radar, etc.
Technology configuration: Bluetooth/NFC/UWB key, full LCD dashboard, HUD head-up display, 12.8-inch large screen, etc.
Entertainment configuration: Internet of Vehicles, 256-color mood lights, voice control recognition, 23 speakers, etc.
In the spatial dimension, we will judge the score from three aspects: ride space, storage space, and space flexibility, and the full score of each aspect is 10 points, for a total of 30 points.
In terms of motivation, we will judge the score from two aspects: data standard (objective) and experience (subjective), the former accounting for 60% out of 9 points, and the latter accounting for 40% with a full score of 6 points. A total of 15 points.
In terms of power performance, new energy models have innate advantages. From the NIO NT2.0 platform, the ET7 is equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor and a rear AC asynchronous motor, with a total power of 480kW and a total torque of 850Nm. The official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 3.8s, and in the actual test drive experience, the acceleration experience is also worthy of the name. Such power performance performance has basically surpassed the vast majority of fuel vehicles and new energy models of the same level.
Finally, there is the driving performance, we will judge the score from the two aspects of hardware layout (objective) and experience (subjective), the former accounting for 60% of the score, out of 9 points, and the latter accounting for 40%, out of 6 points. A total of 15 points.
Based on the excellent power performance of the dual-motor four-wheel drive, NIO ET7 is also equipped with an air suspension system, which can automatically adjust the height and softness in different driving modes, so as to take into account the comfort of encountering bumpy roads and the support of the body when driving intensely.
In terms of actual driving experience, due to the dual-motor four-wheel drive system and air suspension, the overall control experience of THE NIO ET7 has reached a relatively high level. "Pick the bone in the egg", due to the large size of the body, the sense of volume in the driving position is not particularly intuitive, and it requires skillful driving skills to compare the extreme operation. Of course, I believe that for such a medium-sized high-end luxury pure electric vehicle, few car owners will go to the corner or even go off the track, etc., and enjoy a smart and comfortable travel experience.
Editor's Comments:
On the whole, Weilai ET7 has reached a relatively high level in terms of vehicle size, appearance shape, interior design, power performance and driving experience, and has a great competitive advantage in the same level of models. As a consumer, what needs to be considered is whether to determine whether to start such a luxury new energy vehicle, and whether the budget is sufficient. If the answer is yes, the NIO ET7 is definitely a recommended model to buy.
