At the time when new energy electric vehicles are gradually entering the historical stage and devouring the market share of fuel vehicles little by little, the mission of the car is no longer just a tool for transportation as in the past, it not only carries our travel, but also develops in the third space of intelligent mobility, in addition to appearance, performance, etc., consumers will put forward higher requirements for the cockpit, such as comfort, technology luxury, intelligence and other experiences and overall safety quality are more important. Today we will select the four more popular models in the new energy car products to compare and see which is stronger or weaker in these aspects.
Take the version with a similar price point as an example: Xiaopeng P7670N+ (285,900), HanEV Genesis Edition 715 Flagship (287,500), Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive Edition (290,988), Polar Fox Alpha 2021 708S+ (287,300)
Of course, first of all, let's talk about the appearance, after all, people who buy cars now will pay attention to the appearance, and it also determines the first impression. The shape of Xiaopeng P7 is the style of typical new energy vehicles, the front of the car uses a closed treatment, the front and rear use of through-type light strips, which is its iconic element, the overall scientific and technological atmosphere, black front and rear surround can also enhance the sense of sport, in addition, the car also uses a slipback design, which should be more attractive for young friends.
Han EV uses a dragon face family design, the top three-dimensional chrome trim and LED light group with a wide front of the lateral visual sense, the size of the lower grille is relatively not small, the front has a certain visual impact. The Han EV's body is slender, and the arches at the front and rear fenders also highlight the sense of power. Through-type taillights also appear on the Han EV, and the light sources on both sides are relatively more complex.
Tesla Model 3 also uses a high-tech design style, the front is closed treatment, similar to the triangle of the lamp shape is also very sharp. The short front and rear overhangs make the sides look more dynamic, and the tail of the car is added with a ducktail. For the Model 3's design, there is no need to say much, and the market acceptance is also quite high.
The front half of the Polar Fox Alpha S is also closed, but the lower grille size is relatively large, the interior is also blackened to enhance the sense of movement, the bottom has a U-shaped chrome trim decoration, the lines on both sides of the hood match the headlights, and the entire front face is still very recognizable. In addition, it uses a blackened roof, the tail also has a more prominent tail wing, and the inverted U-shaped through taillights have a certain echo with the front of the car, and the overall feeling is better.
In fact, in terms of appearance, the appearance of the four cars is not bad, and how to choose depends on personal preferences.
Let's talk about the overall texture of the cockpit and the intelligence of the vehicle
Xiaopeng should be a new force in the car in front of the independent brand, and P7 is the brand's home model, as a flagship sedan product, the overall design of the cockpit of Xiaopeng P7 has a simple atmosphere unique to new energy, the central control screen is connected with the full LCD instrument, the size is 14.96 inches and 10.25 inches, respectively, but because it belongs to the relatively early products, the transition between the two screens looks relatively stiff, not so harmonious, and the material also needs to be improved, and the sense of quality is not delicate enough.
Xiaopeng P7
The design of Han EV has BYD's unique recognition, in the middle is a 15.6-inch adaptive floating large screen, also equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, but the design layout is still slightly some traditional fuel vehicle ideas, the instrument table protrusion is higher.
Han EV
Model 3 is the earliest to create a minimalist decoration of the car interior model, and the more popular "frigidity" in recent years has a certain similarity, wooden trim is still relatively praised, but the overall luxury is not too close, the interior in addition to the 15-inch central control screen can hardly see any physical buttons, most of the functions have to be completed in this screen.
Model 3
Polar Fox Alpha S car provides a penetrating screen, and in the same plane, while its size is very large, the dashboard is 12.3 inches, the central control screen is up to 20.3 inches, this screen can also achieve split screen function, the sense of technology is very strong, the geometric pattern on the central control also reflects the delicacy, but also a large area of fur material, and with 230 colors of atmosphere lights, with excellent visual effects and luxury attributes.
Polar Fox Alpha S
So in terms of cabin quality, Alpha S is relatively more balanced, its overall design visual effect is brilliant, the quality of the materials is also very good, creating a strong sense of luxury.
It is undeniable that with the development of intelligence, but also changed our living habits and car habits, in the current era, the purchase of new energy models intelligent configuration is also a must-see point, the higher the degree of intelligence, may also mean that the use of more convenient, we from some intelligent configuration aspects of the comparison of the four models:
It is not difficult to see from the above figure that the intelligent configuration of the four models has made a high level in the new energy model, basically there is no missing function, but in contrast, the Polar Fox Alpha S will be slightly superior, and it also provides the facial recognition function that the other three models are not equipped with, and the comprehensive use will have higher convenience.
In addition, for today's consumers, the comfort of the car is also very important. Comfort is determined on the one hand by the space, and on the other hand by the specifications of the seat.
From the analysis of size, the length of the Han EV is dominant, while the width and height of the Polar Fox Alpha S are stronger than the other three, and the Xiaopeng P7 has the longest wheelbase.
From the actual experience, the author's height of 178cm, the front seat is raised to the right driving position, and then enter the rear seat experience:
Although the wheelbase of Xiaopeng P7 is the longest, but the rear seat can only leave a punch and three fingers of space, but smaller, it can be seen that its space utilization is not very high, and the rear row of the Model 3 can only leave a punch of space, and these two cars have a short rear seat cushion, the thigh fit is not a very good situation. The back row of the Han EV can just free up two fists of leg space, but the disadvantage is that the middle seat, the backrest, and the floor are slightly raised, and the comfort of the middle passenger sitting up will be reduced. The Polar Fox Alpha S also has nearly two fists of legroom, and the central aisle is flat, and the middle position will be more comfortable to sit.

In addition, on the seat specifications, we also made a table analysis and comparison, from the following figure: Xiaopeng P7 and Model 3 seat configuration is weaker than Han EV and Alpha S, which Han EV's seat configuration is the highest, more than the Pole Fox Alpha S co-pilot height and waist adjustment function, but the latter in the material added Alcantara fur material, will appear more youthful, bring a stronger sense of sport and better visual experience.
That is to say, among these four models, the riding comfort of the Polar Fox Alpha S and Han EV will be better than that of the Xiaopeng P7 and Model 3, the rear row of the Extreme Fox Alpha S is better than the Han EV, and the co-pilot adjustment function of the Han EV is more.
But then again, as a partner carrying the whole family, the most important essence of the car is safety after all, the active safety driving assistance function can avoid some risks, as far as possible to avoid the occurrence of accidents, and passive safety is the last line of defense to protect life, after the accident to minimize the injury. Let's still follow the convention to take a look at who is stronger when the top four meet.
From the comparison of the above picture, it can also be seen that as far as these four models are concerned, in fact, they have made a high level of active and passive safety, which can be called a fairy fight. However, relatively speaking, the driver assistance level of Alpha Polar Fox S is higher, and it may be more worry-free for car owners to drive daily, and it can also drive more safely and freely in complex traffic, while HanEV passive safety is relatively richer.

Finally, in terms of power, through the comparison of the following figures, it is found that the four models we selected are single-motor versions, but the Xiaopeng P7 and Model 3 use the rear electric drive, the maximum horsepower of the two is 267Ps, 264Ps, the pure electric endurance is 670 km, 556 km, respectively, while the Han EV and the Polar Fox Alpha S use the front motor, the maximum horsepower is 245Ps, 218Ps, and the pure electric endurance is 715 km and 708 km, respectively. In fact, the power performance of these four cars is not bad, and the power is not the most important for electric vehicles, excellent endurance may be more important, in this regard, Han EV and Polar Fox Alpha S have more advantages.
Summary: At present, most car companies still focus on the field of SUVs, relatively speaking, the selectivity of new energy car products is relatively small, and at this price of about 300,000, the four models we selected can actually be regarded as the best, especially Xiaopeng P7, Han EV, Model 3, they have already had a relatively good user accumulation in the market, but the extreme fox Alpha S is a latecomer, but from the product itself, this latecomer shows a good level of manufacturing, Cabin comfort, design and luxury, and the degree of technology are better than the first three, and the safety, endurance and performance are also in place, which is generally more in line with people's demands for the third space of intelligent mobility. If you don't care so much about brand awareness, Polar Fox Alpha S is a good choice.
