Many new energy vehicles take Tesla Model 3 as a competitor, which is understandable, after all, Tesla Model 3 is very successful in sales, whether it is domestic or foreign media, often compare it. As we talk about a 7-seat midsize SUV, most people look to the Toyota Highlander as a comparison.
Recently, the foreign media "Carscoops" published an article saying: Nezha S is another competitor of Tesla Model 3, it comes from China, the intention is obvious, the original English text "Nezha S Is Another Tesla Model 3 Rival From China With Serious Intentions". The rise of domestic new energy vehicles has also attracted the attention of many foreign media, more and more foreign media are interested in new energy vehicles made in China, and they no longer look at domestic cars from the perspective of copycats and imitations in the past, which is definitely good news.
The number of competitors to Tesla Model 3 is growing rapidly, and more and more Chinese automakers are joining the game. The latest model is the Nezha S, an attractive electric four-door sedan that is a mass-produced model of the Eureka 03 concept car, based on Nezha Automobile's hpc new electric platform. Like many other new models, the Nezha S was supposed to debut at the Beijing Auto Show, but was delayed due to the pandemic, so the company showed it online.
Nezha Automobile is a fairly young brand, established in 2018, which is an automobile brand under United New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. Its products also include two SUVs called U and V, of which S is the latest. The Nezha S production version is very similar to the concept car style we saw last year, with a fairly high-end styling.
Exterior design: split headlights
In terms of appearance, the front face of Nezha S adopts a split headlight design, the upper part is LED daytime running lights, the shape is very slim, and the main headlights are hidden above the side air intakes. The new car also has a fashionable dot matrix under the air intake, streamlined body, coupe tail, simple styling design makes Nezha S an attractive vehicle, new car fans feel that in the front face shape, Nezha S is more designed than Tesla Model 3, and the visual effect is better.
The rear styling is also simple, with through-line taillights layering the rear, with integrated spoilers and black diffusers accentuated the sporty body visuals.
In terms of dimensions, the Nezha S is 4,800 mm long, 2,000 mm wide, 1,400 mm high and has a wheelbase of 2,900 mm. This size makes it slightly larger than the Tesla Model 3 and closer to the BMW i3, NIO ET5, BYD Seal and Xiaopeng X7.
Interior design: longitudinal large screen
The interior of Nezha S has the design style of the current new energy vehicle, and the highlight is that the large vertical central control touch screen is combined with the digital instrument cluster, head-up display and the passenger front passenger seat touch screen to form a quite scientific and technological cockpit. There's also a powerful 1,216-watt audio system with 21 speakers, including speakers integrated on the roof and headrests, as well as heating, ventilation and massage seats.

In terms of technology configuration, Nezha S is equipped with 13 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 millimeter wave radars and 2 lidars to achieve L4 level automatic driving. Note that Mercedes is the first car manufacturer to introduce Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities in production cars (S-class) starting in 2022, so achieving Level 4 autonomous driving is definitely a highlight and technological innovation.
In terms of power, Nezha S is based on the self-developed "Shanhai" platform, which supports both pure electric (BEV) and range extender (EREV). However, the company has not released detailed power data, and expects the NEDC range of 710 kilometers (441 miles) for the electric model and 1,100 kilometers (684 miles) for the extended range. Nezha Also announced low-power data of 12 kWh / 100 km, thanks to the HozonEPT4.0 battery temperature management system and 92% efficiency electric motor developed with the help of Huawei.
At present, it is not known the price of Nezha S, the price is expected to be closer to THATD Seal, Xiaopeng P7, and new fans expect its price to be between 190,000 and 300,000 yuan.
