The high-end market has always been the dream that independent brands cannot pursue, and "low" has become an indelible "label" for independent brands. It was not until the rise of the new energy market that it gave independent brands a chance to change their destiny. From NIO ES8 to Mecha Dragon, from Avita 11 to Gaohe HiPhi X, today's independent brands have gained a foothold in the high-end new energy market.
Today, Uncle Che is very honored to invite two new stars of his own brand in the new energy market - Zhiji L7 and Weilai ET7, which are positioned as high-end medium and large pure electric cars, and to a certain extent, represent the peak of domestic technology in the field of new energy. Among them, Zhiji L7 was just listed in March this year, and the price range is 368,800 to 408,800. The NIO ET7 also just landed in January this year, and the price range is 436,700 to 513,400. So, which of the two models is more cost-effective? Who is better suited for younger users? Today, let Uncle Che take everyone to find out.
There is a saying that "the tree lives a skin, the person lives a face", if the car wants to impress the hearts of young users, it must first win in appearance. As two models of high-end pure electric products, they naturally inherit the high-value characteristics of their own brands.
Among them, Zhiji L7 adopts a family-style design concept and has a strong new energy flavor. The enclosed front face, the headlights of the "∑" shape, and the blackened through-the lower surround create a strong exclusive texture and recognition.
In terms of side, Zhiji L7 adopts a penetrating waistline + slipback roof + hidden door handle + two-color low wind resistance wheels, the overall temperament is very coupe, coupled with the red brake caliper hidden between the wheels, easily grasp the appetite of young people.
In terms of size, the Zhiji L7 has a length, width and height of 5098/1960/1485 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 3100 mm. It belongs to the mainstream level of medium and large cars, and the ultra-generous rear space allows passengers to experience the happiness of the "boss chair".
In terms of tail, Zhiji L7 continues the minimalist design concept, slightly cocked duckling tail, with through-led led strips and interactive LED displays, with good recognizability.
In contrast, THE NIO ET7 is based on the NT2.0 platform and adopts a family-style X-Bar front face shape. Two-stage LED headlights, closed front face, grille-type lower bracketing and embedded fog lights, the effect is decent, and zhiji L7 has a strong repeatability.
In terms of sides, the NIO ET7 adopts shorter front and rear overhangs, through the double waist line body, slipback roof and carbon fiber alloy rims, which is more sports car flavor than the Zhiji L7.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of THE NIO ET7 are 5101/1987/1509 mm, the wheelbase is 3060 mm, and the overall data performance is comparable to that of the Zhiji L7, which can well show the characteristics of medium and large cars and meet the space needs of users.
In terms of the tail, it is slightly collided with the Zhiji L7, and the same is the penetrating light strip + slightly cocked ducktail, which is not highly recognizable.
Although, zhiji L7 and WEILAI ET7 can well express the appearance characteristics of new energy. However, the problem of homogenization has emerged in the new energy market. If it were not for the different car labels of the two car companies, the car uncle would even be easy to confuse. Therefore, in order to stand out in the new energy market that pursues "individuality", it is first necessary to have a "different" face.
We will then focus on the "endurance" performance that best reflects the strength of new energy models. Among them, zhiji L7 will be equipped with a dual-motor system with a combined maximum power of 425 kW, a maximum torque of 725 Nm, and an acceleration time of 3.87 seconds per 100 km/h. In addition, the car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a standard capacity of 93 kWh, and the CLTC has a comprehensive cruising range of 615 kilometers. You can not look at anything else, but the 3.87-second acceleration of 100 kilometers and the endurance of 615 kilometers basically hold the Zhiji L7 to a first-class level.
In contrast, the power system equipped with THE ET7 is a power system composed of a former permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180 kilowatts and an induction asynchronous motor with a maximum power of 300 kilowatts, with a combined maximum power of 480 kilowatts, a peak torque of 850 Nm, and an acceleration time of 3.8 seconds per 100 kilometers. In terms of endurance, battery energy options of 75 kWh and 100 kWh will be available, corresponding to pure electric cruising ranges of 500 km and 700 km respectively.
In terms of power, Uncle Che recommends that you choose WEILAI ET7, which is not only better in power output, but also provides a wealth of endurance options, which has better intervention in the user's endurance anxiety.
Uncle Che summed up
First of all, it is worth affirming that both models belong to the top force of the independent brand market and can well show the strength of domestic new energy. However, there is a saying that the homogenization of the appearance of the two models has been very obvious, which will inevitably make the product strength shrink significantly. From the above comparison, Che Uncle recommends that everyone buy NIO ET7, the appearance, space, power and endurance performance are very online, which is very in line with the standards of today's young users to buy cars.
