As a new energy brand created by SAIC Motor that is committed to creating a "high-end pure electric mobility space", Feifan has been attracting attention since its independence, especially after the recent launch of the mid-sized and large luxury flagship car Feifan F7, the market popularity remains high. On the one hand, because the price system of the Skyfan F7 is indeed low, on the other hand, it is due to its own product strength, which has impacted some competitors.
Although the appearance of the Skyfan F7 looks relatively simple, its design has actually won the German Red Dot Design Award and is regarded by many as the "Oscar" of the industry. The DNA language of Feifan's wing family makes its body appear extremely flowing and light. The smooth body curve allows the Feifan F7 to obtain a wind resistance of 0.206Cd, creating a new benchmark for the wind resistance coefficient of domestic new energy vehicles.
The curved roof edge is trimmed with silver chrome strips to give the roof a more sleek back. The 4-door frameless electric suction design is light and elegant, which further enhances the sense of refinement and luxury of the vehicle.
As a product of the intelligent era, the Skyfan F7 is equipped with multiple cameras and radar probes, and even the rearview mirror is equipped with a radar detection camera, which can be combined with the panoramic image in the car during driving to improve driving safety escort.
The large panoramic sky screen has become the standard configuration of new energy vehicles, and the size of the sky screen of the Feifan F7 is 1.98 square meters, and driving out in clear weather is like sitting in a mobile sun room.
Of course, there will definitely be people who are worried about the thermal insulation effect of the panoramic canopy, and it is easy to start the "sauna mode" when the sun is exposed. There is no need to worry about this, the Skyfan F7 adopts a double-layer thermal insulation design, which can block ultraviolet rays from entering the car and reduce the speed of heating up in the car.
In the interior part, the SkyFan F7 continues the concept of the "3+1" technology entertainment cabin of the same model as the SkyFan R7, with a 43-inch large smart screen on the center console, and the co-pilot's entertainment screen has extended functions and can download a variety of video software. In order to avoid the co-pilot's entertainment from distracting the driver, the co-pilot's entertainment screen was moved backward and misaligned with the central control screen.
The rear row of the high-end model is also equipped with an 8-inch entertainment interactive screen, and after the screen is lowered, the space of the front and rear can be cleverly separated, forming a dual-zone independent theater. When the family goes out, adults sit in the front row to talk about things, and children can sit in the back row to watch cartoons without disturbing each other.
In addition to its appearance, the Skyfan F7 also pays great attention to the creation of practicality. The seats in the car are all created according to the body curve of the Chinese people and daily sitting habits, and so they support 14 electric adjustments, no matter who drives this car, you can find a sitting position that suits you. The seats are very well padded and the comfort is good.
The longitudinal movement space in the rear is spacious, and the 496mm oversized seat cushion also provides good support for the human body. However, because the design of the coupe-style body compresses the headroom on the rear roof, a person who is 1.85 meters tall will feel more restrained when sitting in the rear seats. Even with a panoramic canopy, the physical body frame still affects the passengers' riding experience.
The intelligent driving assistance system is also a piece of cake for SkyFan, and the full-stack self-developed RISING PILOT system is supported by hardware systems such as NVIDIA chips, which can make the driving experience easier for car owners.
In terms of power, the Feifan F7 currently has 5 models on the market, with a cruising range of 576 km, 600 km and 660 km, and the market guidance price is between 229,900 and 301,900. In addition, it will also launch a basic version model with a market guidance price of 209,900 to further lower the threshold for medium and large pure electric cars. However, for now, the price of this car has only been announced, and it is expected to be officially launched in the second half of 2023.
If you pursue high performance, you still have to look at the dual-motor version, its maximum output power can reach 400 kilowatts, and it can break 100 in 3.7 seconds. But because the power consumption has become higher, the range of the vehicle has shrunk to 600 kilometers. According to daily households, the cruising range of 600 kilometers is enough for us to use for three or five days.
The comprehensive strength of the Feifan F7 is not bad, but these performances are not unique in the new energy vehicle market, and it is not difficult to find a model that can replace it. But one feature that is more difficult to replace is its price.
The entry price of 209,900 in the medium and large pure electric car market, can definitely be regarded as a "floor price", and this is only the price of the whole vehicle purchase, Feifan F7 also provides a car electricity separation purchase mode, choose this way of purchase, the threshold will drop to 145,900.
The two car buying methods are also aimed at different consumer groups, and the latter is more suitable for consumers with less adequate budgets. But to tell the truth, the battery rental price of new energy vehicles is not cheap. The monthly rental price of a 77 kWh battery is 729 yuan, and the cost of renting for one year is about 8700 yuan. The rent of a 90 kWh battery is close to 900 yuan, and the cost of renting a battery for a year is tens of thousands of yuan. Moreover, this rental method is only suitable for car owners in large cities, and such infrastructure in second- and third-tier cities is not perfect, and it is not convenient to rent batteries, so the overall limitations are relatively large.
