The price of BMW Brilliance X5 may have made many consumers feel a little disappointed, although it has been lower than the imported version, and the improvement of the configuration level is not small, but it also sacrifices a certain power performance, and the cost performance is not as high as imagined. But it is not only BBA luxury brands that covet this market segment, but also the new forces of domestic car manufacturing are also eyeing, after Weilai President Qin Lihong said that Weilai is preparing to launch a new medium and large SUV model NIO ES7, which is expected to be officially released at the end of May. And according to The disclosure of Li Bin, chairman of Weilai, the product targeted by ES7 is BMW Brilliance X5, which focuses on the price of more than 400,000 yuan.
From the naming, it is known that the positioning of ES7 will be between ES6 and ES8, ES6 is priced at 358,000 yuan, ES8 is from 468,000 yuan, and about 400,000 is just reasonable. At present, there is not much information exposed by the ES7, but the entire body should belong to the traditional structure, and the appearance will continue the style of the Weilai SUV family, the heavy camouflage of spy photos show that the car will use the element of split headlights, and the roof is equipped with lidar and high cameras, which is consistent with the ET7 that began to be officially delivered not long ago, with NAD safety and driver assistance functions, and high automatic driving capabilities.
In fact, ES7, like ET7, is based on the NIO NT2 platform, with more advanced computing power and high hardware specifications. In addition, the intelligent configuration of models from the NT2 platform will also be more abundant, you can refer to the WEILAI ET7, ES7 future performance should be better than ES6 ES8 and other models, the latter are from the first generation of NIO technology platform NP1 to build. Of course, it will most likely surpass the BMW X5, and as a pure electric model, the performance of the NIO ES7 does not have to worry, if the same power configuration as the ET7 is used, then its maximum power will reach 480KW.
Regarding other information, we can also guess that since it is the benchmark BMW X5, the size of the ES7 should be about 5 meters, and it is reported that the car will use a 5-seat layout, and the internal riding space will not be inferior.
In weilai's internal planning, the annual production capacity of Weilai ES7 will reach 60,000 vehicles, and it is expected that the output will be 5,000 units per month, this goal is actually not low for Weilai, the best selling ES6 in the existing product matrix last year was only 3400 vehicles in an average month, and the month of more than 5,000 vehicles was very rare, and such a high number may indicate that Weilai has high confidence in ES7. However, this number is only a small meaning for BMW X5, of course, the two products can not be measured by the same sales standards, Weilai ES7 can grab a part of the customers from the MOUTH of BMW X5 is already successful, so do you think it can be achieved?
