On the eve of the Shanghai Auto Show last year, we did the static experience of weilai ET7, after a year, this time we drove the ET7 and talked to everyone, nonsense is not much to say directly.
Dynamic experience: The momentum is really fierce
A few days ago we test drove the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580, dual motor + four-wheel drive, 4.4 seconds to break the hundred, driving up has been very explosive, but today this ET7 is more fierce.
ET7 power system is composed of a front permanent magnet synchronous motor (maximum power 180 kW) and rear induction asynchronous motor (maximum power 300 kW), compared to the previous powertrain, ET7 motor added silicon carbide material, so power and torque have a certain increase, the comprehensive maximum power of 480 kW, peak torque of 850 N · m.
It should be emphasized that ET7 and other dual permanent magnet synchronous motor models are not the same, its rear motor uses induction asynchronous motor, in simple terms, in terms of the stability and performance of the motor, the induction asynchronous motor is better, so ET7 such a large car can also do 3.8 seconds to break the hundred.
Of course, not everyone likes to make people's blood pressure soar in 3.8 seconds to break the hundred, so Weilai provides ET7 with 5 power output modes, corresponding to: 3.8 seconds, 5.9 seconds, 7.9 seconds, 9.9 seconds, 12.9 seconds of the ability to break the hundred.
In 12.9 seconds mode, ET7 is indeed ridiculously stable (too meaty), but it is not a big problem to drive in the city. And this 12.9-second power mode, most of them are run in two-wheel drive mode, so it will save more power.
In addition to fast, ET7 also brakes steadily, Brembo four-piston calipers with high-performance brake pads, one foot on the dead brakes, the official given 100km-0 braking distance is only 33.5 meters, for a two-and-a-half tons of medium and large electric cars, this performance is very good.
Chassis part, ET7 material is also very sufficient, front and rear multi-link independent suspension, air spring + CDC continuous damping adjustable shock absorber, in different modes, the chassis can do 5cm height adjustment, soft and hard can also be multi-stage adjustment.
In the sport + mode, the support of the chassis suspension is sufficient, and the body posture can be maintained well; in the comfort mode, the ET7 shows another kind of flat and stable personality, when encountering a speed bump or a small bump, it can filter out most of the bumps; but when encountering a large pit or a thick speed bump, the ET7 suspension will have some excess jumping, and the comfort is slightly reduced.
Static experience:
The external acceptance is getting higher and higher, and the interior is showing the grade
Last year, we would still experience the ET7 or the test car, so this time we will pick some key places to see the mass production of the ET7 Barbushi.
The design of the ET7 is already familiar to everyone, such as the X-shaped front face, electric door handles, smooth lines, slip-on body design, and through-the taillights and other details, the visual feeling is indeed very fashionable.
The overhead lidar watchtower has also been optimized to look more coordinated, and after a year of looking at such a design, the acceptance is also higher.
When opening the door, in the past, ES6, ES8 are unilateral pop-up door handles, which will be a little awkward when pulling the door, and now ET7 is the entire pop-up door handle, which will be used a lot of ease, and this handle has a touch sense, and the hand will automatically bounce off when it touches the door.
At the same time, the interior door handle is also quite interesting: it will automatically open with one button when exiting, making interaction effortless. The window buttons are my more concerned points, and the front/rear control buttons of the mass production car are still OK, the control is more precise, and it does not shake. In addition, the ET7 series is equipped with electric suction doors as standard, advanced. (In the event of an extreme power outage or complete lack of power, there are mechanical switches under the door panels of the four doors)
Entering the car, the concept of "second living room" makes the center console design of WEILAI ET7 more simple, and it is more stylish than the design of ES8 and ES6.
Of course, in addition to having style, the creation of a sense of luxury is also indispensable for cars at this price. However, unlike the traditional Ashkenazi BBA "56E", the INTERIOR of the ET7 is made of a lot of rattan wood + Nappa leather, which feels a little more classy.
In addition, the ET7 comes standard with seat heating/ventilation, massage functions, and a back soothing system, and also provides the boss's exclusive "rear seat exclusive" mode, where you can enjoy a massage while holding the legs of The Erlang in the back row, which previously existed only in the million-level executive car.
The last point is that the ET7 is very good acoustics, its sound system is equipped with 23 speakers, a total power of 1000W, and support Fordlby sound. When playing immersive music, there is a feeling of immersion.
summary:
To sum it up simply: is it worth four or five hundred thousand to buy WEILAI ET7? From the perspective of product strength, there are many reasons to buy ET7: free of purchase tax, cheap charging, cool design, rich configuration, strong performance, and power exchange, so in theory, ET7 is the strength to divide the traditional fuel administrative vehicle market such as BBA "56E". Probably the only thing that will stop you from buying an ET7 will be the fear that the ET7's retention rate will not work. So the final question is: with four or five hundred thousand in hand, do you choose THE NIO ET7 or the traditional BBA?
