A snail friend in the background asked: I plan to buy a high-end electric car with strong performance, Weilai ET7 and Zhiji L7, which one will you recommend?
Good question. Both the NIO ET7 and the Zhiji L7 have been very popular recently, and it is also a new electric car that I think is particularly important this year. I'm also very concerned.
First of all, I think that these two models are very comparable, and they are very incomparable.
Let's start with the comparability, the positioning, size and performance orientation of the two cars are very close. In terms of size level, they are all large electric cars, which are classified according to the traditional car habits and are considered C-class cars.
The middle of the rear row of platforms is raised more
Both cars are about 5.1 meters long, and the wheelbase is more than 3 meters, which is similar to the BBA Yusanjia that we are particularly familiar with, the extended version of the Audi A6L, BMW 5 and Mercedes-Benz E.
But the electric car has a feature is that the width is more exaggerated than the fuel car, ET7 car width 1987 mm, Zhiji L7 is 1960 mm, are not far from 2 meters.
The middle of the rear terrace is flat
Then, if you compare with each other, the length, width, and height are slightly larger than ET7, but that is 1-2 cm, a little; and the wheelbase of Zhiji L7 is 4 cm beyond ET7, reaching 3.1 meters, and 4 cm is still more obvious. I also specifically inquired about the circle peers who have tried two cars, first of all, the legroom, this size is definitely very abundant, at least two and a half fists, whatever you sit in the lying position, it is no problem at all; but the head space, L7 will be slightly better than ET7, I estimate that this 4 cm wheelbase difference is a reason. Of course, when I test drive, I will test human flesh again.
The appearance preference is very subjective, both cars use the more popular slip-on structure, and the design is also very beautiful. Personal preferences are different, I will not evaluate. Of course, the front and LED light design of the Zhiji L7 is obviously more ostentatious, and the return rate on the street should be higher than that of et7.
The focus of the comparison between the next two cars, I believe is also the biggest concern of most people, yes, it must be performance. In terms of power, both cars are dual-motor four-wheel drive, and quite fierce. The total power of the ET7 is 480Kw and the torque is 850 Nm.
Zhiji L7 is 425KW, 725 Nm, data, ET7 is stronger, but from the official acceleration results, in fact, very very close, ET7 is 3.8 seconds, L7 is 3.87 seconds, really quite fast ah.
But what is more interesting is that from the perspective of power output style, the two cars are different: the power setting of the ET7 is more front-drive, and the front motor is actually the main output; while the L7 is biased towards the rear-drive, and the rear motor is dominant. In fact, you can also see the hint from the tire setting. The ET7 is a tire of the same size, 245 wide front and rear.
The L7, on the other hand, uses the "Mandarin Duck Tire", which is more common for rear-drive vehicles, with a front of 245 and a rear of 275. By the way, the ET7 has two tire configurations, the 19-inch horse brand and the 20-inch Bridgestone, and the L7 is a 20-inch Pirelli P ZREO, and the flat ratio will be lower, so I think the L7's tire configuration will be a little higher.
Of course, I've always said that the performance of a car you can't just look at straight-line acceleration. In terms of chassis suspension, the ET7 is independently suspended in front of the front, the L7 is double wishbones in front, and the back is independently suspended; the foundation is good. For further improvement, the ET7 uses air suspension, soft and hard height adjustable, the purpose is to combine handling and comfort.
The Zhiji L7 adopts electromagnetic suspension plus four-wheel steering setting. Electromagnetic suspension is much tougher than air suspension, dynamic response is much faster than air suspension, and the center of gravity is lower, but its height cannot be changed, even the softest state is harder than air suspension; as for four-wheel steering, its biggest role is to greatly reduce the turning radius, as well as improve the limit of high-speed cornering, so it is obvious that the setting of Zhiji L7 is directly directly directed at the control.
From the actual test drive experience of peer friends, the zhiji L7 has a lower center of gravity, a more direct driving texture, faster and more accurate steering, while ET7 is more home-based, the limit is not as high as L7, but the riding comfort will be better.
From the perspective of battery capacity, Zhiji L7 is currently a 93-degree battery, and the official endurance is 615 kilometers. ET7 has several battery configurations, the main model is a 100 degree battery, the official endurance is 700 kilometers, both capacity ratio and mileage are 7-8% larger than zhiji; of course, we all know that ET7 will also have a theoretical endurance of 1000 kilometers this year, with reference to the price of aion LX PLUS 1000 kilometers large battery version, I estimate that the price will be much more expensive than the ordinary version. In addition, of course, ET7 supports THE MAIN BATTERY REPLACEMENT FUNCTION OF WEILAI. Whether you use it or not, at least one more charging option.
Finally, the intelligent system aspect that everyone is also concerned about in electric vehicles, whether it is intelligent assisted driving or car machinery, both cars are armed to the teeth, and all kinds of gimmicks and terms are flying around, you know. Cloud evaluation car, I will not jump to conclusions.
In fact, who is strong, who is easy to use, only after a real depth of long testing, or car owners have the most say. However, L7's through-through large long screen plus the configuration of the central control large screen, compared to the two-screen layout of ET7, the "large screen control" will obviously prefer the former.
OK, I said earlier the comparability of these two cars, so what is incomparable? Of course, it is the price, the current price of Zhiji L7 is 408,800 yuan, and the main version of Weilai is basically in the early 500,000, and the difference is 100,000 yuan.
So let's talk about my conclusions. You have a good budget, don't have to think about the price, then care more about driving experience and handling pleasure, choose the Zhiji L7, you can understand it as a super large coupe; if you care more about comfort, especially if you focus on business, you can give priority to ET7.
Of course, if you want to consider the price, the difference of 100,000 yuan, if it is me, or choose Zhiji L7. In the end, cloud rating car is really tired. In the near future, I will test drive these two cars as soon as possible and share them with you later. Follow.
