In this issue, we will recommend you two high-end new energy models built by Chinese brands, they are SL03 and S7 from dark blue, positioned at the 15-200,000 level, the former is a medium-sized SUV, and the latter is a medium-sized sedan. If your car purchase goal is in this range, these two models are definitely your unavoidable choice.
◇ Guide price
Deep Blue SL03 and S7 are "tailor-made" for consumers, including extended range and pure electric versions, and the "two-pronged" strategic layout naturally brings more choices to consumers. And in this issue of car purchase recommendations, let's start with the mid-size sedan - dark blue SL03.
◇Navy SL03 Two extended-range models configuration analysis
Deep Blue SL03 has launched two extended-range models, namely 135Plus and 200Max, and their official guide prices are 145,900 and 156,900 yuan. In terms of power, they all use a powertrain consisting of a 1.5L range extender and a rear motor, but there are certain differences in power and range. Specifically, the 135 Plus model has a slightly more powerful motor but a smaller battery capacity, while the 200 Max model has a slightly less powerful motor but has a much longer battery range (CLTC) of 200 km than the 135 Plus model. In terms of configuration, the two models are basically the same.

Official guide price: 145,900 yuan
Recommended index: five stars
Although the 135Plus extended range version is the entry-level model of the entire car series, the dark blue SL03 is a high-end car after all, so in terms of basic configuration, the 135Plus model still has a high standard. Specifically, it comes with full LED light sources, frameless doors, keyless entry throughout, sleek 19-inch wheels, and a wealth of passive safety features, including front/passenger airbags, front side airbags, and side curtains. In addition, the car is also equipped with lane departure warning, active braking, door opening warning, front and rear collision warning, front and rear parking radar, 360 image, transparent chassis, full-speed adaptive cruise, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring and other practical configurations. At the same time, in terms of intelligent cockpit, the car is also equipped with a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument and a rotatable 14.6-inch central control screen, and uses an 8155 chip to support CarPlay and HiCar mobile phone interconnection. It can be said that in terms of driving assistance and intelligent cockpit, the 135Plus extended range version is already in a state of fullness, which is very kind.
In terms of comfort configuration, the car's seats are made of imitation leather material, and the main/passenger seats are electrically adjusted, the former is 12-way, the latter is 4-way, and is equipped with front seat ventilation and heating and driver's seat memory function. In addition, the car is equipped with a six-speaker audio system, automatic air conditioning, rear exhaust air vents, and PM2.5 filtration in the car.
As I mentioned earlier, although the Navy SL03 135Plus is the entry-level version of the car series, it is not shabby at all in terms of configuration, and it is basically equipped with all the functions that drivers can use on a daily basis. Therefore, if you do not have high requirements for pure electric battery life, this car priced at 145,900 yuan can fully meet your daily use, rest assured!
Navy SL03 200Max (+11000RMB)
Official guide price: 156,900 yuan
Recommendation index: four stars
Compared to the entry-level 135Plus model, the biggest upgrade of the 200 Max is the replacement of a 28.39 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, which has an all-electric range of 200 km (CLTC). In addition, the car has also been upgraded with AR-HUD head-up display function, automatic anti-glare interior rearview mirror, 14-speaker speaker and interior ambient lighting.
As for whether the 200 Max model is worth buying, in fact, it has to be judged according to the situation of your daily car. If your charging conditions are not very good and you can't tolerate frequent charging, then the 200Max model will naturally be more suitable for you, and the longer pure electric range will reduce the frequency of your charging. But if you can guarantee stable charging conditions, in fact, the 135Plus model can meet your needs.
◇How to choose the four pure electric models Is it necessary to buy the "i" version?
In terms of pure electric models, the dark blue SL03 has launched two cruise versions with a total of four models, and in these four models, it is divided into ordinary version and intelligent driving version, and there is a price difference of 15,000 yuan between them. As for how to choose these four models, you listen to me and continue to analyze.
深蓝SL03 515Max纯电版
Official guide price: 163,900 yuan
Recommendation index: three stars
The Navy SL03 515Max EV is equipped with a 58.1kWh battery pack and has an official range of 515km. In terms of equipment, the car is equipped with 19-inch wheels, six airbags, and a number of active safety features including lane departure warning and active braking. At the same time, in terms of driving assistance, the car has also reached the basic L2 level (full-speed adaptive cruise + lane keeping). In terms of intelligent cockpit and comfort, 515Max is also equipped with a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument and a 14.6-inch screen that can adjust the angle left and right. In addition, the car's seats also have high specifications, including 10-way electric motor adjustment for the main driver's seat, ventilation/heating of the front seats, and driver's seat memory.
As the entry-level model of the all-electric version, the 515 Max has a richer base configuration, but the relatively small battery capacity limits its range. If you live in the north, this car can be a little stretched. So unless you're on a particularly budgeted budget, the 515 Max version isn't particularly recommended.
深蓝SL03i 515Max纯电版（+15000元）
Official guide price: 178,900 yuan
Recommendation index: four stars
The Navy SL03i model is an intelligent driving version, which has been upgraded for intelligent driving assistance systems on the basis of the regular version of the model. First of all, at the hardware level. The Deep Blue SL03i version has 28 sensing elements, including 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and multiple cameras. In terms of achievable functions, the car's driver assistance capabilities have also been upgraded from the basic L2 level to the so-called L2+ level. In addition to full-speed cruise, the Navy SL03i adds advanced features such as lane centering, lever lane change, remote parking, and waiter parking. In addition, the car also supports NID high-speed pilot intelligent driving assistance, which can automatically enter and exit the ramp. At the same time, you can also choose from the Smart Interactive Light Kit, Smart Key and Continental tires according to your needs.
The main enhancements of the Deep Blue SL03i model are focused on driving assistance, and the addition of the above functions will undoubtedly provide greater convenience for your daily use of the car. Therefore, if you often go high-speed and long-distance running, and have a need for these functions, the dark blue SL03i 515Max pure electric version is still very worthy of your attention, but you still have to face the problem of relatively short battery life.
Navy SL03 705Max pure electric version (+13000 yuan)
Official guide price: 191,900 yuan
Recommended index: five stars
The 705 Max version is exactly the same as the 515 Max version in terms of configuration, but it has upgraded a larger capacity battery pack, and the official range of 705km basically eliminates the range anxiety of your daily car. However, it should be said that the 705 version has a reduction in the power of the motor compared to the 515 model, with the former having a maximum motor power of 190kW while the latter is only 160kW. At the same time, in the official 0-100km/h acceleration time, the 6.9s of the 705 model is also behind the 5.9s of the 515 model, so you still have to pay more attention to the power performance.
If you don't have too high requirements for the intelligent driving system, the 705Max version has rich configurations and long enough battery life to allow you to use it with confidence, so in the entire dark blue SL03 pure electric version of the product series, 705Max is the most worthy of your attention.

Official guide price: 206,900 yuan
Recommendation index: four stars
The dark blue SL03i 705Max has also been upgraded in the intelligent driving system. As the top model of the entire car series, the car is in a full state in terms of intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, comfort configuration and power range. However, the price of the car has also exceeded the 200,000 yuan mark. It's more suitable for consumers who have high requirements for all aspects of the vehicle, and if you have a good budget, you can buy the top-of-the-line model in one step.
As a high-end positioning car, the dark blue SL03 has a high basic configuration, even if you choose to buy the entry-level model, you can still get a very rich configuration, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for ordinary consumers. In addition, its product layout of extended range and pure electric, ordinary and intelligent driving models can also allow different consumers to find the most suitable car for themselves. After the introduction of the dark blue SL03, let's focus on the mid-size SUV - the dark blue S7 model, and let's see which car is the most worth buying.
◇Navy S7 four extended-range models configuration analysis
The Navy S7 currently has a total of 9 models on sale, including 4 extended-range versions and 5 pure electric models, which provides consumers with more choices compared to the SL03 just mentioned. In the dark blue S7 car purchase recommendation, let's still start with the extended range version of the model.
深蓝S7 121Pro增程版
Official guide price: 149,900 yuan
Recommendation index: three stars
The extended range version of the Deep Blue S7 has two different endurance versions, with a total of 4 models. As the entry version of the entire car series, the 121Pro version of the model priced at 149,900 yuan is relatively basic in terms of configuration, including full LED light clusters, 19-inch wheels (20-inch and 21-inch can be optionally installed as needed), 6 airbags, rear parking radar, 360 panoramic image, transparent chassis, cruise control, 15.6-inch LCD instrument that does not support left and right angle adjustment, 8-speaker audio and rear exhaust air vents and other main functions.
Overall, the 121Pro version is a little lacking in comfort configuration, the main driver's seat only supports 6-way electric adjustment, and it is not equipped with seat ventilation/heating, seat memory, wireless charging of mobile phones and rear center armrest and other common configurations. The car's less than 150,000 is indeed low enough, but if measured by the standards of a family car, the 121Pro seems a little incompetent.
Navy S7 121Max extended range version (+10000 yuan)
Official guide price: 159,900 yuan
Recommended index: five stars
121Max is 10,000 yuan higher than 121Pro, and its configuration has increased the full car seat belt unfastened reminder compared with the entry version, active safety system (lane departure warning, active braking, front and rear collision warning), front and rear parking radar, full-speed adaptive cruise, lane centering, blind spot monitoring, electric tailgate, adaptive high and low beams, facial recognition, adjustable angle 15.6-inch central control screen, automatic anti-glare interior rearview mirror, front wireless charging, 10-way electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, The front seats are ventilated/heated, the main driver's position is remembered, and the 14-speaker audio system and 64-color ambient lighting function are functional.
There is no doubt that the 121Max version has a lot of more equipment than the entry-level Pro version, and its value is far more than the price difference of 10,000 yuan. For consumers, the 121 Max version offers an excellent value for money, and you can further choose the lighting and comfort features as needed. So in the end, we give a five-star recommendation for this car, and if you don't care too much about pure electric range, this 121 Max version is undoubtedly the most suitable for you.
Navy S7 200Max extended range version (+10000 yuan)
Official guide price: 169,900 yuan
Recommended index: five stars

In addition, in terms of configuration, the car is exactly the same as the 121Max version, and it also has a very rich technology and comfort features, so if you have high requirements for pure electric range, the car is still worth your attention.

深蓝S7 520Pro纯电版
Official guide price: 179,900 yuan
Recommendation index: four stars
520ProIt is the most entry-level version of the dark blue S7 pure electric sequence,The same as the extended range version just mentioned,520ProIt is still lacking in basic comfort configuration,But compared with the 200Pro extended range version,The car has been enriched in the active safety part。 Specifically, the 520Pro version is equipped with 19-inch wheels, 6 airbags, lane departure warning, front and rear collision warning, front and rear parking radar, 360 image, transparent chassis, full-speed adaptive cruise, lane centering, blind spot monitoring, electric tailgate, keyless entry of the whole car, keyless start, full LED light source light group, automatic headlights, adaptive high and low beams, 15.6-inch large screen with non-adjustable angle, mobile phone APP remote control, AR-HUD, electric adjustment of the main and co-pilot, 8-speaker audio, automatic air conditioning, rear exhaust vents and other functions.

However, for consumers with limited budgets, the 520Pro version, priced at 179,900 yuan, has been as rich as possible in the configuration of cockpit, driving assistance and active and passive safety. So for this model, we have a recommendation index of 4 stars.
深蓝S7 520Max纯电版（+10000元）
Official guide price: 189,900 yuan
Recommended index: five stars
The 520 Max version is based on the Pro version, which is mainly focused on comfort equipment. It adds 10-way electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, ventilation/heating of the front seats, driver's seat memory, boss button, rear center armrest, 14-speaker system, 64-color ambient lighting and other key functions.

深蓝S7 620Max纯电版（+13000元）
Official guide price: 202,900 yuan
Recommendation index: three stars
The 620 Max version is a long-range version of the Deep Blue S7, and the configuration of the car is exactly the same as the 520 Max just mentioned. However, in the battery section, the car has been replaced with a battery pack with a capacity of 79.97 kWh, and the official range is 620 km. However, judging from the price alone, the extra 13,000 yuan you spend only adds 100km of cruising range to the vehicle, which actually has little impact on your car life, so we don't recommend this model very much here.
深蓝S7i 520Max纯电版、深蓝S7i 620Max
Official guide price: 204,900 yuan, 217,900 yuan
Recommendation index: four stars

It mainly adds 28 sensing elements and more advanced functions such as parking and NID high-speed pilot intelligent driving system. As for whether this model is worth buying, my opinion is still the same as above, if you often run high speeds or are interested in these high-end intelligent driving features, then buying the S7i model is naturally more suitable for your needs.
